ODB: The Light of Christ
My husband and I have always enjoyed attending the Christmas Eve service at our church. In the early years of our marriage, we had a special tradition of bundling up in warm clothing after the service to hike up a nearby hill where 350 glowing lights were strung from tall poles in the shape of a star.

There Is Purpose to Our Waiting
By the world’s definition, waiting is only a means to an end. The waiting itself is not enjoyable nor see important, but merely something to endure to reach our end goal.
Yet the Bible exhorts us to wait (e.g., Psalm 27:14), particularly for God Himself.
Why am I so tired over Christmas?
When it comes to reading the Bible, we’re often tempted to ignore the parts we find difficult to understand, and just hide in the comfort of our favourite verses again and again.

How I’m Learning to Focus on the Present
The news came just after our first anniversary. When the doctor confirmed my pregnancy, hugs and squeals of joy followed.
But the initial thrill was soon eclipsed by the ills of early pregnancy – morning sickness, loss of appetite, and a drop in energy level.

How God Helped Me Move On From a Past Relationship
We were in a relationship for seven years. It ended when I told him that I would choose career over relationship.
When I finally realised that he was truly important in my life, I got in touch with him again, hoping we could get back together. But I was too late.
What Would Godly Social Media Look Like?
I have a love/hate relationship with social media.
Love: I love connecting with friends around the world, and knowing what’s going on in their lives.
Hate: Sometimes it feels about as fun as trying on bathing suits one size too small. I feel not enough.
