Deuteronomy 33:25b When Moses blessed the tribes of Israel before he died, he spoke the words of Deuteronomy 33:25b as blessing over the tribe of Asher. As children of God, we can receive any promise of the Bible, as long as any conditions set for that promise have been met. In Moses’ blessing spoken over Read More…

The Goodness of God
Exodus 33:12-23; 34:1-7 The Goodness of God is one of the moral attributes of God. By attributes of God, we mean the distinguishing qualities or characteristics of the divine nature. These are not different parts of God’s nature; rather, they are an analytical and closer look at it. They reveal the fullness, depth, and variety Read More…
Good reasons to end that relationship
The thing about the reasons I’m about to share is this: initially, they never seem strong enough until you’re neck deep and suffocating in a relationship. But it’s always good to notice it immediately and walk away. And even if you’re neck deep already, it’s never too late to take a detour and change course. Read More…
Priority of Knowing God
Jeremiah 9:23-24 In every football season, the lives of many people hang very much upon the success of their football teams. They wear their team’s colours on match day; they get excited when they win, and bask in the glories for a day or two — and get really depressed when they lose. In a Read More…
Happy Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day, and many people are paired up in red and white. Gifts and flower shops are making a killing, and social media is filled with declarations of love. I, however, am here, writing to you. Again. Writing this letter on Valentine’s Day felt like writing a love letter but this is not a Read More…
I Used to Think Love Had to Hurt
Throughout our relationship and my attempts at dating when it ended, I used to think love was supposed to hurt. Or at least feel a little painful. I thought if it didn’t make me anxious, if I wasn’t walking on eggshells, or if I wasn’t constantly proving myself, then maybe it wasn’t real love. You Read More…
Natural Remedies for Constipation
Constipation is a condition in which bowel movements are as infrequent as once a week or more. When one is constipated, stools are hard, dry, or lumpy and unusually large. Stools are also difficult or painful to pass. Other times, not all stool have been passed. It’s usually caused by a lack of exercise, insufficient Read More…
I Don’t Hate Valentine’s Day Anymore
Valentine’s Day is approaching, and I am proud of my new state of mind. At first, I was surprised, I wondered if I was pretending to feel good when Valentine’s days are always filled with gloom and what could have been. Valentine’s Day used to be the worst day of all the celebratory days in Read More…
To Embrace GMOs or not
A few years ago, in a nutrition class I took on Food and Health, we briefly delved into GMOs and the professor taking the class said something puzzling. He said, “You may have your concerns about GMOs, but taking them is much better than not taking any fruits and vegetables at all.” GMO, which stands Read More…
“I see now that dating younger men was my trauma response”
I had a big breakthrough in therapy last week and all my journaling assignments kept taking me back to our relationship. I know we agreed that my being 12 years older than you wasn’t a big deal (and maybe it wasn’t) but last week’s session and inquiry revealed that it is a big deal for Read More…
