For The Single Ladies
If you know me offline (or online) at all, you’ll know that I absolutely love anything and all things Disney. My laptop background and phone case are of the Disney castle, and my laptop decal is of Snow White. I have an entire wall in my bedroom dedicated to Disney portraits, and I have countless… Read More For The Single Ladies

What Is Your Christmas Star?
The new year has started—it’s February, guys—and yet I can’t get Christmas off my mind. Perhaps it’s the monochrome frozen landscape around me, but I yearn for brightly coloured twinkling lights and warm, turkey dinners under a star-lit sky. If there’s one story to cross my mind during the Christmas season, it’s the nativity story.… Read More What Is Your Christmas Star?

I Don’t Know Anything, And That’s Okay
You’re off to work, or school, first thing in the morning. Grabbing a caffeinated drink, you hastily shove a half-burnt piece of toast into your mouth before you rush out the door, avoiding the downpour outside, and you get in the car. The inevitable accident on the highway causes you to be late, and you can’t… Read More I Don’t Know Anything, And That’s Okay

When You’ve Hit Burnout
Somehow, it’s already the end of August. When the new year of 2018 rolled in, I had the best of intentions to post often and regularly. But somehow I hadn’t taken into account how my mind works, my schedule, and self-placed expectations. As we approaching the end of summer, I realize that I’ve hit a… Read More When You’ve Hit Burnout

Transformed Heart: A Commentary On Nicole Cliffe’s Article
Waking up this morning to the sound of my phone alarm, I picked up my phone and scrolled through Facebook. This is a habit that I’ve been trying to kick, but old habits certainly die hard. Since fasting from social media last year during Lent, I’ve felt transformed in how I want to use social… Read More Transformed Heart: A Commentary On Nicole Cliffe’s Article

Volunteering Should Be Voluntary
Within the last few years, I’ve noticed a deeply unsettling perspective among the Christian community about volunteering. It’s not really new, I suppose. But it’s getting tired, and it’s time to be addressed. As Christians, everything we do either works toward spreading the gospel, or works against spreading the gospel. We are called to expand the… Read More Volunteering Should Be Voluntary

Writing and Christianity: Drawing Parallels
When it comes right down to it, I feel uncomfortable with calling myself a “writer”. I had always imagined writers as people who hunch over their typewriters (now computers), writing over 1,000 words a day without fail. Write an epic novel in half a year? No problem! But while writing is something that comes fairly naturally to… Read More Writing and Christianity: Drawing Parallels

For The Man Who Seeks A Relationship
Since I’ve been going to a church geared towards young adults, I’ve met all kinds of people around my age. That is, in their early-to-mid twenties. And as always, you get along with some more than others. More importantly, of course, you find guys and girls coming to church to look for a relationship with… Read More For The Man Who Seeks A Relationship

When Christians Aren’t Very “Christian”
One of the biggest critiques I’ve heard about Christians is that they don’t like the church. Why? Because the Christians they’ve met are closed-minded, judgemental, and non-inclusive. And you know what? It’s true. It’s not even a comment made by only non-Christians. It’s an observation made by other Christians (and other church-goers), who have left… Read More When Christians Aren’t Very “Christian”
