Modernized Depression: Are We Mislabeling What We Feel?
I want to say this first, clearly, I’m not a medical professional, I’m simply speaking from personal experience, observation and what I’ve come to understand through life. There’s something I’ve noticed in myself that I can’t ignore, and it’s consistent enough that I know it’s not random. When I spend too much time on my phone, hours scrolling and losing track of time, staying mentally locked into a screen, I don’t feel right, and it goes beyond simple boredom, it’s almost li

“Only God can Judge me”
One of the most misquoted and misunderstood phrases in modern Christianity is, “Christians aren’t supposed to judge.” You’ll often hear people say, “Only God can judge me,” as a way to silence correction or accountability. But this phrase isn’t actually from the Bible at all, it’s popularized by Tupac Shakur through his song Only God Can Judge Me . When we look at Scripture honestly, not through cultural clichés or popular sayings, we find that the Bible teaches something muc

Learning love through marriage
As I get older, and now as a married woman, I’m realizing something humbling: I didn’t really know what love was. When I was younger, I thought love was a feeling. Something overwhelming, intoxicating, almost dramatic. If I felt deeply moved, emotionally charged, or romantically consumed by someone, I assumed that must be love. But looking back, much of what I called love was really infatuation. It burned hot, then disappeared. I would move from intensity to emptiness, from l

The Problem With the “Cosmic Jesus”: Why the New Age Version Doesn’t Add Up
In recent years, a new version of Jesus has quietly made its way into spiritual conversations. He is often called the Cosmic Jesus, the Ascended Master, or the embodiment of Christ Consciousness. In this framework, Jesus is presented not as God, but as a highly evolved man, someone who simply reached his highest potential and came to show humanity that we, too, are gods. At first glance, this idea can sound empowering. But when examined carefully, logically, historically, and

Why Are Men So Offended When Women Have Standards ?
This weekend, I’ll be playing the “Pop the Balloon or Find Love” game at my birthday party. It’s nothing serious, just a parody, something to laugh about, but the comments under clips of this show always catch my attention. Every time a woman pops a balloon and gives her reason for not choosing a man, whether it’s height, style, compatibility, or simply a lack of attraction, a certain type of man online becomes instantly offended. Suddenly the comment section is full of, “See

Aging Upward: Silence, Fasting, and a Gentle Reflection at 35
Today I turn 35. I’m writing this the night before, sitting alone in quiet solitude in Central Florida while my husband is away in the Bahamas. I didn’t plan a big celebration. No dinner. No decorations. Just a moment to breathe, pray, and be with the Lord. For weeks I felt God calling me to fast. Not lightly, but firmly. Fasting has always been a major part of my walk. It sharpens me, brings clarity, and forces the flesh to bow. But this year, since being married, fasting ha
