It’s easy to think we know best … especially when it comes to someone else.  Your kids…your husband…your best friend…your sibling – who knows them better than you? You love them. You see their strengths and recognize what they are good at.  You want the best for them. You “encourage” them to pursue it. So,

I became an author in second grade. In fact, I wrote a series of books… in pencil and bound by staples. The main character was a girl who was bullied, and the series, containing about 5 or 6 books, discussed the various challenges she overcame at school. I have always loved writing, and for a

Have you ever googled something you should have been praying about? I am ashamed to say. I have. And it wasn’t that long ago. My head was spinning, my heart was heavy and I was at a complete loss for what to do. It involved people…and drama (which I try to run from…but couldn’t).  So

Sure, it’s yours…but it kinda feels like a half-win at best.

While attending my nephews’ basketball games over the past 10 years, I’ve noticed an interesting predicament that happens. There are a lot of voices to listen to.  The cheerleaders, the parents, fellow teammates and of course, the coach. One dad is yelling “Go to the basket” while a teammate is saying, “Pass me the ball!”.  The

Recently when I taught on worship, it brought to light what I have felt for years.  Worship is giving extravagant honor to the Lord. The amount of love God has demonstrated is unfathomable and He alone is worthy of all praise.   I don’t know about you, but it seems completely natural to do such

A little over twenty years ago, I sat on my bed sobbing. My young mind was convinced that I would never be happy again. My friends allowed me to sulk for a little while, but after a few weeks, one friend in particular had enough of me and my sad self. “Binu, That’s enough. It’s
