When Worry Knocks
I’ve had a few moments in the last few months where when I passed by a street or neighbourhood I once lived in, memories of all the prayers I prayed during that time would come flooding back. I could almost see myself walking down the street with unfulfilled hopes and dreams in my heart, wondering…

The Places We Live
Moving is hard. It is not an easy thing to do. Uprooting yourself from a place to plant yourself in new soil is a process. I remember coming to Hamilton for the first time and I’ll be honest, I was a little unsure. Some parts of the city were rough, and some areas just did…

The lies we believe about loved ones that have passed
If you’ve lost a loved one at some point in life, you have definitely heard some of these statements. Things like, ‘Your loved one is watching over you’, ‘May his soul rest in peace.’ or the classic ‘They’re in a better place’, not considering the fact that person may not be in a better place,…

In time, she would see
‘What does the future hold?’ she wondered as she walked down the street. She had walked this path before with the same question burning in her heart – when the leaves were green and the trees stood tall, when the leaves were hues of orange and red fallen beneath the trees that seemed a little…

Speak life
These words have been my anthem on some hard days. I’ve stuck it on my wall so I see it often. It has always increased my confidence and hope. It reminds me that God is for me and God will never fail me. I thought I would share it with you so you could speak…
