Time to End Racism

June 21, 2020June 21, 2020 Christine John

Coronavirus has exposed many things that have been happening around the world. Because of the covid-19 pandemic, we have become more aware of domestic violence, homelessness, unemployment, poverty, and the challenges faced by the healthcare system. But most importantly, the pandemic has exposed racism in all its ugliness and police brutality on people of color, particularly, black people. On the news we witnessed a video recording of George Floyd, an African American man, killed by a white police officer during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The officer pressed his knee…

Stop Being a People-Pleaser

June 14, 2020June 14, 2020 Christine John

I’m sure many of us are guilty of trying to please people at some point in our lives. We try to please our parents, our children, our siblings, our managers, our spouses, our friends, our spouses, etc. The point is that there has been someone in our lives whom we always feel we have to say yes to. The people in our lives who we are trying to please aren’t all bad. Some of them are looking out for our best interest, but others may simply be trying to manipulate…

Out of Control

Zayna’s husband and two daughters sat at the front of the church with all the other members of their extended family. They all had their heads down. Some were weeping quietly while others whispered to one another. Outside a hearse pulled up in front of the church and six strong men worked together to pull out the coffin. Everyone fell silent and the organ began to play gospel hymns as they carried the coffin into the church. They placed it down carefully and opened the top half of the coffin.…

Evil grows stronger in this world today No place to hide and I can’t run away Not a single mere mortal can make it stop Pleadings in prayer to heaven go up There is only one man who can save us all I know He can hear us whenever we call He is the Way, the Truth and the Life And He will be there to end all of our strife Don’t doubt for one minute that He doesn’t care If you believe in God He will answer all of…

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone: Stop Living in a Bubble

May 16, 2020May 16, 2020 Christine John

For years I stayed in my comfort zone. I was living in a bubble. I made sure that I was safe, comfortable, and in control of my life. I stayed in the same job for over four years, took the same route to work, and ate the same food for breakfast. To put it simply, my life was very predictable and boring. I was living my life in a bubble. I was stuck in a rut! I got tired of doing the same mundane tasks. I wanted more out of…

God’s Way

April 26, 2020April 26, 2020 Christine John

We make plans for the future Where we will go and what we will do when we get there Often forgetting we have a Heavenly Father Who is always willing to show us the way We worry so much about tomorrow What we shall wear and what we shall eat When all we have to do is seek God first And He’ll provide all that we need. We allow temptation and troubles To darken our day So afraid to give God the control We won’t let Him have His way.…
