This week, I am going to give you a peek behind my screen… For the last few months, I have had a hard time hearing from God. Nothing in my life has really changed- I still have my quiet time in the morning. I still have my worship music blasting in my car. I’m not back […]
The first year of our marriage had humble beginnings. My husband picked up his whole life, leaving a business behind, to live in a new city with me while I was training for my career. It wasn’t easy for him to leave the home he always knew. Being apart from parents and close friends, we […]
I was driving down the highway, having a lively conversation with my family when suddenly, I saw bright lights come out of nowhere flashing in my rearview mirror. I had no intention of speeding, but that didn’t matter. The officer had evidence. The time I spent sitting in my car as the officer reviewed my […]
Painting above & guest post below- by our friend, Gia George (The painting is a reproduction of a painting done by John Fernandez) ______________ Mama wouldn’t bother to wish me on my birthday. Instead, she would narrate her memories of giving birth to me. Am not exactly sure why she vividly remembered every detail of […]

He was an intelligent student, and we had stimulating conversations during our time there. During one particular lunch, I remember sitting down […]
I have been re-arranging my kitchen. Here’s the background: I have lived in this home for almost 11 years. On the day that we moved in, my wonderful cousin unpacked my kitchen and set it up for me. It was amazing. She has an incredible knack for organization and workflow. It was perfect. It was a […]
I remember walking into a small bridal boutique to look for a wedding dress. It was a two-room quaint structure that had all the appearances of a little home. This location had been recommended by a friend, and it happened to be the right place for me. The dress I had imagined with its lace […]
This is my beautiful mother and me about three weeks after my birth. I am the firstborn, so it was her first Christmas with a child. I was a newborn and had no clue about the purpose of a tree or Christmas cards, or presents, but it didn’t matter to Mom. She and Dad decorated […]
