  • the question of justice

    Every day we are forced to ask the question, ‘is there any justice in this world,’ and as humans, we tend to think there isn’t any. We question whether God really sees what is going on, and how can He let His people suffer. We believe that we would do a better job at meting…

  • the Music within us…

    This last week I was watching The Jesus Music, a documentary chronicling the rise of Christian music. It traces its inception from the 1970s hippie movements, through the glory days of rock and roll in the 1980s, to this day. Famous faces, names and songs brought back memories, invoking nostalgia from my youth into my…

  • Is Our Faith Without Foundation?

    This last weekend was Easter weekend, and endless social media posts wished “Happy Easter”, “He is Risen”, etc. I also posted the same “He is Risen” and was left thinking about it all. What does that actually mean to me personally? I’m not going to go into a salvation message, but I’m going to start…

  • Hope in the Chaos

    Wow, it’s been a few years since I sat down to blog. So much has happened, yet what’s real is still real. I’ll start with a short update of what’s being going on. In the spring of 2019 I graduated from Lakehead University in Thunder Bay with an HBA in Political Science and Women’s Studies.…

  • Roots and Wings

    These last few weeks have been a bit stressful, but it’s normal stress, the kind that comes with the end of a school term. It’s even a good kind of stress because you get tested in so many ways. How do we measure up? Are we students that procrastinate? Cheat? Blame? Compare? Do we know…

  • The Difference…

    We now have a new year ahead of us. January first is also the first day of a new age for me as well, seeing as my birthday falls on the last day of December. So, each time I plan how the next year is going to look. I love the idea of resolutions, but…

  • Blessed are the Self-righteous?

    No, this isn’t from the same passage where Jesus talks about the poor in spirit etc, but this is what many believe in our churches. I don’t think this attitude is just in churches, but many of us who grew up in a church have felt the sting of it, and even indulged in it…

  • Patience? What’s that?

    “What do you love about Jesus?” was a question that my friend asked me yesterday. I had to think about that for a bit. These last few years I have learned about a new Jesus…not the one I grew up with, the one defined by man…but someone more infinitely beautiful. Someone who really loves. Someone…

  • The Made-Up Mask

    This morning was a morning where I was given the opportunity to share from the heart. Speaking at the Finnish service in our church is something I enjoy…just don’t tell anyone, because…well, I don’t know if I can handle speaking more than a few times a year. (Good thing hubby doesn’t read my blog.) Getting…
