  Happy new week my dear friend, I'm happy to write you again this week, I'm sure you will be blessed by this week's message. Life has a way of testing us, not in the moments of comfort, but in the seasons of pain. It is when it hurts the most that we begin to question everything we once believed in our strength, our faith, our place in the world. Pain comes like a storm: sometimes quietly creeping in, other times violently breaking through the walls we built to shield ourselves. Yet, it is in these very moments that we must remember hurt is not the end, it is a passage. Just as gold is purified by fire, so are we refined by the weight of our trials. What hurts us the most often teaches us what matters the most. Last week, I wrote about bending without breaking, and the truth remains the same here: when it hurts the most, you may bend in tears, in silence, in sleepless nights, but you must not break.

Flexibility is not weakness, it is strength in disguise, a quiet assurance that we are not defined by the blows we take, but by our ability to rise after each one...

Happy new month, my dear friend! It’s such a blessing to have made it through July and step into August by God’s grace. This month, we’ll be reflecting on the theme “Facing Life’s Challenges” a journey into the realities we often live through silently. Each week, we’ll touch on honest and impactful topics that speak to our shared human experience, and today’s piece, “The Reality of Struggles,” sets the tone as we embrace the strength, growth, and hope that come with pressing through life’s difficult seasons. Struggles are not always loud. Sometimes, they show up in quiet ways, waking up tired but still pushing through, smiling while carrying weight no one else can see, or simply trying to make it through the day without breaking. The truth is, life doesn’t always go as planned. And for many, every step forward feels like dragging a mountain behind. But struggling doesn’t make you weak. If anything, it shows you’re still trying, still fighting, still showing up. That takes strength, rea...
