In fact, praying and reading my Bible were just a routine checklist of activities. ✔️Quick prayer ✔️Quick reading of my Bible The thing is: My heart was…

According to my bathroom scale, my slim 5’8 body now weighs 156 lbs. I know you may be wondering where I am going with this but just stay with me. Recently, I came across three things on Facebook: A post I had made in 2010 declaring I would put on at least 10 lbs. for…

I went through the Disney Princess phase where I read the books over and over again and spent hours dreaming of a prince who would come and kiss and rescue me from whatever unhappiness I was experiencing in that moment and season.

Many of us have suffered severe losses. 😦 We have lost our livelihoods, loved ones, mental health, our freedom to come and go as we please and our ability to indulge our travel lusts and give hugs and smiles to strangers (don’t judge…
In 2012, on the brink of entering university but with no money to finance my studies, I applied for three national scholarships. I know what you are probably thinking: “Yes, she definitely got one!” Sorry to disappoint you, nope I didn’t! I got shortlisted for one scholarship and felt certain that this was the way…
I’ve been thinking about writing this post for a while, trying to figure out some sassy wise-assed way of starting and frankly, I’ve got nothing.
