Rooted and Built up in Christ

Hey lovely people! I know it's been a while since I wrote and I'm deeply sorry. I've been swamped up by school but now that I'm on holiday, I plan to write more  :). Lately, I've been thinking a lot about relationships- family, friendships, and romantic. So my next posts would be covering these. Today we'll be looking at an aspect of the family relationship, which is the sibling relationship. While going through Facebook a few weeks back, I saw a meme which was a picture collage depicting siblings in two different scenarios; the first was of them partying together and goofing around and the second was of them wrestling in a boxing ring. The caption of the meme read something along the lines of: there's no in-between in sibling relationships. And I couldn't agree how more true this caption was! So I began to wonder, why do we feel such extreme emotions towards our siblings? We love them so much at one point in time and would do anything for them

As I start writing this post, some of the lyrics to two of Israel Houghton's songs come to mind. The first is from the song "Your presence is heaven to me" which starts off with this: "nothing in this world can satisfy but Jesus you're the cup that won't run dry". The second is from the song "more" which lyrics begin with: "all we want and all we need is found in Jesus". The summary of these two songs is that it's only God who can truly satisfy us. And how do we know this? You prayed to God so hard for that job and now you have it but you're still not really fulfilled/happy. You prayed to God so hard to bring that man/woman into your life and now they're there but you still complain. You prayed to God so hard to get into that school and now you're there but you're fed up and can't wait to graduate...and the examples could go on. All these just show that nothing/nobody in this world can completely satisfy u

Hello lovely people! So as we all know, Valentine's day is around the corner and I know some of my single ladies out there are already beginning to feel the "single woman's blues" so the purpose of my post today is to encourage us. First of, can I just say that as Christians, we are to show love to every and anyone we come in contact with the 365/366 days of the year so let's not get all worked up about one single day in the year dedicated by the world for couples to get all mushy. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong in celebrating Valentine's day. However, the point I'm trying to make here is that as Christians, love should be our lifestyle and that we're not supposed to show love to only a select group of people in our lives but to everyone. Romans 5:5 says that God's love has been "poured out into our hearts" so we ought to be generous with our love! Ecclesiastes 3:1 says "For everything there is a season, a t
