How much longer? When waiting on God gets frustrating…..
Sometimes the hardest part of faith isn’t believing God can do it—it’s waiting for Him to do it.In this episode, I’m talking about the frustration that can come with waiting on God. The moments where you’ve prayed, believed, trusted… and you’re still waiting. It’s easy to become discouraged or wonder if God has forgotten you.If you’re in a waiting season, this is your reminder: don’t grow weary. G

Can you stand the rain in a relationship ?

Men are begging women for money // Oversharing on social media // Dealing with disappointment
In this episodeI’m unpacking three big conversations: the controversy around men asking women for money. Why has this sparked so much outrage?Also Jesus just needs to come get us.

The seasons of Iife nobody prepares you for
There are seasons of life nobody prepares you for.Not even life itself will prepare you for them.The seasons where things don’t look the way you imagined (The life you thought you’d be living vs reality)The seasons where prayers feel delayed and everyone around you seems to be moving forward.The seasons where you question everything.Just because your life looks different right now doesn’t mean you
When will you marry ? // Embracing Change // God Restores
So… when are you getting married?’ A question many hear, but few talk about the pressure behind it. As if marriage is as easy as drinking water Thou shall not stress anybody about marriage.

Christmas as an adult
T’is the season to be jolly 🎄I don’t know if it’s just me or Christmas hasn’t really been the same lately.Maybe because I’m an adult now. Maybe because life isn’t as easy as it was when I was younger. Maybe because I’m not looking forward to Santa.

In this episode I briefly touch on my health ( currently going through it, pray for me)Also the main topic is loneliness leading you back to people that God has removed from your life.
