I wasn’t born in a Christian home (not sure if I’ve shared that before or not). But my mum is Christian so I grew up hearing bits and pieces of Bible stories. One story that confused me was the story of the loaves and fish. What do you mean Jesus fed people with a few pieces of bread and fish? So I asked my mother and she explained that it was a miracle. That was the point of the story. The small amount of food fed the crowd. It made no sense to me. As an adult I felt like…

Run out to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything all right with you, your husband, and your child?’” “Yes,” the woman told Gehazi, “everything is fine.” 2 Kings 4:26 My managers finally broke the news that the end of August will be my last day. Writing that feels scary. I have been handling the news pretty well. The job was really toxic and I spent alot of my days crying. But I feel in my heart that it is the right decision. For months, I had been isolated at work. Projects were taken away from me, meetings were held…

So considering everything going on around me, I thought it was worth documenting here. I know that God is going to do something amazing re my job situation and I just feel like it’s the sort of thing that I’m going to look back and be like “WHAT?!?!” So I’m starting a mini-series called “God of the Valley”. Because that’s where I feel like I am and I want to record it. I want to remember what God does.

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27 NLT So it’s been a few days since my manager broke the news to me that I need to find a new job. And I have done…nothing. I prayed to God to grant me peace and fought for my mental health. But in terms of looking for a job, I’m not ready for that yet. So you can imagine my surprise when a recruiter reached out to me for…

I stared at the contract in shock. My manager had told me what the salary would be but I still didn’t believe her. I had wanted more. NEEDED more! I knew for a fact that the other person who started with me had been given a higher salary. Sign it, whispered a small voice inside me. Absolutely not, I retorted. This is insane. AND they say I won’t get an increase at the end of the year??? This is lower than what I was asking everyone else for. Sign it. And stay with such a small salary? For well over…

So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. -Revelation 3:16 https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Lukewarm Welcome to my new blog. My name is…not important. This is my little corner of the internet where I will share my faith and my personal experiences. I’ve been a lukewarm Christian for about a little over a decade now. And then one thing during an especially bad time in my life I attended a different church and my entire life changed. Not all at once. But bit by bit. It is my hope that this blog will help…
