Welcome to My Journal!
UPDATE: I’ve moved my regular writing to Substack! This is now my archives.
Here on my blog, I love to write personal stories, truths I’m learning from studying Scripture, lessons I’ve learned from those wiser than me, and what God is teaching me through writing.
I’d for you sit back in your favourite chair while the little ones sleep or while you’re on break from work and read a bit of what I’m thinking on these days. Feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts of your own!
How To Be In God’s Word When You’re Struggling with Anxiety

Even as you repeat Bible verses to yourself, your heart stamps in your chest. You try to focus on the text before you, but anxiety fogs and clouds your brain. How do we stay in God’s Word while anxiety fills us?

The Anxiety of Social Media
In a perfect world, social media would be a place of smiles as we connect with friends and share memories. But we don’t live in a perfect world—we live in a world tangled in the thorns and thistles of sin. And in this world, social media can be a place where anxiety flourishes.
Lessons on Sanctification While Living in A Construction Zone
A year of living in on-going house renovations, seeing rooms completed one piece at a time, I have learned not only patience but a lot about sanctification. In many ways this little house is much like my heart, and yours too.
What's Wrong with Self-Condemnation?
Do you regularly barrage yourself with self-condemnation? Here’s not only how we can combat such destructive self-talk, but also why those words of self-condemnation are wrong.

Hope for Perfectionist in Progressive Sanctification
Perfectionism paints a pretty, promising picture for us of the picture perfect life. In reality, perfectionism leaves us exhausted, frustrated, anxious, and hopeless. The way of the gospel offers greater rest.
