Transparency Even When It Hurts

I sat in an amazing session last week led by Alex Hamilton (The Redeemer Church) at the Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit. He told us he would be talking about one of the most important issues facing the church – when leaders fall and how you handle it.

Watch out for Piranha Fish in Christian Singles Groups

just because someone is involved in a Christian singles group, it does not attest to the fact that he/she is a born-again sold-out Christian. I’ve seen this played out so many times and have seen its destruction that many times. It can be devastating to the person who falls prey (not pray) to this evil behavior. Usually what happens is these people who have motives of landing another (for personal pleasure) is looking for someone who is a bit new in their faith and vulnerable. And like a piranha, these impostors devour their subjects all under the guise of being a Christian. And it makes me so sad. Continue reading

Light of the World

God is teaching me some really rich things at the moment- so personally rich that I can’t explain what he teaching me with mere words. But, through my cleansing, much healing and new thinking is being born. It’s like a beautiful meteor shower. All these incredible things just keep whizzing by my brain – and it’s a beautiful light show. Continue reading

Resilience

I attended a job search workshop and our guest speaker for the day is someone who calls himself a “change coach.” He truly embraces that there’s one thing certain in our lives and that is “change.” He went on further to tell us that the sooner we can embrace this reality, the better it will be for us. And at the same time, we need to remain resilient. Even though we all faced the loss of job, we do have the ability to recover quickly from it. Continue reading

Weariness

I’m having a weary journey. And I’m okay with it, because God knew that we’d experience such times. In fact, the word “weary” is mentioned in the Bible 30 times. And God being God- He does provide us with a way out. Here’s His recipe for weariness. Continue reading

Holy Week

This is my favorite week all year as God leads us from Palm Sunday into Good Friday and then through the joy of Easter. It’s an emotional week on all counts. If you feel like you’re on a roller coaster, my advice is just go with it. It’s supposed to happen. Continue reading

Letting Go Is Hard to Do

Man, there’s just something that I just can’t let go of and I don’t know why. And yup, it deals with a matter of the heart. I’ve been praying about it consistently to God and am asking for him to dig up the root so we can cast it away…but it still torments me. Continue reading

It’s OK to Say No

I am on a quest to land a job and although I have more free time than usual, is it the best use of my time to volunteer as I see fit? That answer is No. I’m learning that if I don’t take care of my issues – then no one will. Continue reading
