UNITY OF PURPOSE

4 minute read I'm seeing a series on Netflix, and I saw a scene that got me thinking, ‘Adam and Eve were so lucky to have a clean slate as part of their love story’. You know, no issues from past relationships or their upbringing or from taking in terrible advice. But even that didn’t last long. I don’t want to imagine what their relationship was like after the Apple eating episode and being banished from the Garden of Eden. Image from  pinterest My point, you’re not Adam or Eve ( thank God !), and we don’t all get clean slates with which we go into a relationship. We have all been hurt at some point and have issues . The only difference between you and the next person is, that person has recognized and addressed their ‘issues’, so it’s no longer baggage they carry around. Okay, you may be the ‘next person’ that has already addressed their issues. What’s important here is that,  if you still have baggage from a past relationship or something you picked up from observing your p...

3 minutes read We’ve all been there at some point. You are not dating anyone, and on some days you are a strong independent person that doesn’t need anybody.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick  but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life - Proverbs 13:12 If you have more lonely days than days when you’re assured and fine, I have been there too. If you are in a relationship, keep reading, there might be something here fo...

3 minutes read The Lord is my light and my salvation, so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? -Psalms 27:1 I woke up this morning with this scripture on my heart, and so I plugged my music in ( Rhythms of Grace by Hillsong ), opened up my YouVersion Bible, and began to read. I must have stopped a few times to catch my breath and hold back the tears that were threatening to pour. Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path… Psalms 27:11 I finished reading and I started all over again, but I couldn't make it past the first verse which is the opening for this post. I've had a draining past month, and not just because I wrote the Bar Exams, I had an emotionally draining month as well. As a matter of fact, I've not been able to pull myself together for a study on Unity of Purpose.  I thought I was done with 'Trust Issues'. Actually I was so sure I was done. I remember sometime in 2018 when I s...
