Body Image and The Christian

There is so much chatter and pressure surrounding “body image.” In a society like today, it seems to be a major focus, and as a result can bring about feelings of discontentment and even discouragement. But how should Christians handle an issue like this? In this blog, I decided to tackle this topic. Over the years, I’ve had my own personal struggles and challenges when it came to body image and my self-esteem.

So, if you’re wondering, “How should we deal with the pressures of body image and the society we currently live in today?” Then please read the blog to find out more. May your soul be encouraged!

Trusting God in the Midst of Transition

The account of Moses and the burning bush has many things we can learn from it. Moses was in a place of comfortability before God confronted him. He had been away from Egypt for many years and was staying in Midian herding flock with his family. I’m sure he thought this was all his life […]

I am Allowed to be Angry BUT

I remember this exact photo. My emotions are almost palpable as a stare at this photo again. The immense grief that was within me as I stood on these steps could not be put into words. The deep historical and far existing pain for my ancestors flowed through every vein of my body. Immense anger, confusion, despair, and anguish plagued my heart this day. I didn’t crack one smile, I couldn’t. When I witnessed the murder of George Floyd, I remember feeling just like I felt when I first stepped foot on the grounds of Cape Coast Castle. I was ANGRY, confused, and numbed by such a sinful act. I was so angry I couldn’t speak. There were no audible words that could possibly articulate what I felt in the moment. But in the midst of my anger I was met with God’s truth and His love. His truth broke through my heart, like the sunrise bursting through the seams of a new day. Then my tears broke through my eyes and ran down my cheeks like waterfalls. The truth was this…”I am allowed to be angry..BUT..”
