Be the Light (Be the Bulb!)
Faith is not something to be concealed; it’s meant to radiate outward. Loving like Jesus isn’t about having the perfect words or always knowing what to say. Often, it’s about how we show up in the world, how we treat others, how we respond when things get difficult, how we love when it would be easier to turn away. That’s where the light comes from. Being a light doesn’t mean being flawless. It means being willing: willing to love, willing to forgive, willing to choose grace

Known Fully, Loved Completely
I often come across the phrase “ to be loved is to be known ,” and it has been sitting with me for a while. I have seen it shared in different contexts about relationships, intimacy, and human connection, but no matter where my thoughts begin, they always seem to find their way back to our Creator. Because every truth about love, at its core, originates with Him. There is a longing in all of us to be known, to be seen beyond the surface and beyond what we present to the worl

Until We’re Home
“Aren’t we all just walking each other home?” I recently read this quote, and I’ve been thinking about it for a while. When we look deeper into it, the understanding is that we aren’t doing life alone. It isn’t a solo trip. None of us has it fully figured out. We are all moving through confusion, joy, loss, and growth at the same time, and what we really do for each other is offer companionship along the way. But as believers, there’s an even deeper truth beneath this: we are

God Is Good Even When Life Is Not
“God is good.” I say that phrase often. I hear it often. And most of the time, it’s said with excitement after something works out, after a blessing, after life feels kind and light. But the truth is, saying “God is good” is easy when life is good. The harder question is: Is God still good when life is not? When your prayers seem unanswered. When healing doesn’t come the way we hoped. When plans fall apart, relationships break, or grief settles in quietly and refuses to leav

Reflecting His Heart
As followers of Jesus, our daily choices speak louder than anything we could ever say. What we do in life is a reflection of the Lord. Every moment, whether public or private, becomes an opportunity to either mirror His character or turn hearts away from Him. When we choose kindness and show consideration for others, we reveal the heart of Christ to a world that desperately needs to see His love. Jesus taught us that kindness is not optional. It is the natural outflow of a li

The Season of Becoming
I saw a video the other day that really stuck with me. In the video this message was discussed : “Singleness is lonely when we make it about us. But singleness is sacred when we make it about God.” He went on to talk about Adam in the garden, and how it wasn’t until the Lord took a rib from Adam’s side and made woman that Adam even knew he was alone. He explained that before that moment, Adam was fully devoted to the work that God had given him. He was fixated on serving his

Unfit for This World (and That’s Okay)– Reflections on John 15:19
This week, I have been reflecting a lot on John 15:19: “ If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. ” As a college student, it is easy to be distracted by everything happening around me. There’s always something going on - parties, social events, trends to follow, opinions to agree with, and pressures to “fit in.” And honestly, sometimes it feels
