Mindful Breathing Practice
This is something I made for my grade 3 students during Spring 2020 online instruction to help them practice mindful breathing at home. Usually, we practice mindful breathing for 1 minute every morning during our morning circle at the beginning of the day. I hope that you find it beneficial in exercising your respiratory system…

Highly Favored
Wake up, get up, commencement interaction. Day spent, hours gone, wonder where the time went. It isn’t like we’re seventeen anymore. Young minds, charged and trending, we never knew life would be like this. I’m in the midst of it – life as alive as can be. Stuck on a sprint of growth, the cycle…

The Point of Easter
To me, Easter means the gift of new life. Because Jesus lived a perfect life, I get to live eternal life. And that eternity begins NOW. This moment. I get to live a life worth living, a life with meaning and purpose and depth. I step up to claim my place as a daughter or son.…

Time Out
Do you need a break? Some time to get away from life and recharge? I don’t know about you, but my week has been a packed one. Busy with school, work, extra projects, and various meetings. I’ve been feeling exhausted and burnt out, like I just want to crawl into a hole and not come out…

I desire to be in step with Your timing, in tune with Your call. I want desperately to be transformed, holy – to be known as Yours, one and only. The path I walk may seem uncertain, but today I choose again to be, wholly surrendered, bearing all on my knees. Its where I see…

Break Funk
I suppose every day isnt meant to be a happy one, especially with so many variables to consider. Health, mental disposition, life events, current employment, time of year, weather… Waking up with expectations. And when they arent met, cowering back under the covers to sleep away the misery. I suppose allowing time for this type…

The Agape
For a very long time I struggled with hypocrisy in the church. People saying one thing, and doing another. I am by no means exempt of this, Im human afterall. But I have come to realize, as I focus my eyes on Jesus, one thing that is lacking in many of our churches today. Love.…

First Fast
Theres something beautiful that happens when we choose to be obedient to God. He enlightens us. The way I choose to live my life is very backwards at times. I get lost in my own desires, I focus on myself and what is good for me, and I forget how to surrender. God has this…

Christ-Like
I used to wonder: “What does it mean to be a Christian?” Some will say: “Being a Christian means following the Ten Commandments.” Or “being a Christian means going to church every week.” But how does Christianity shape our daily lives? How does it become practical to us? When we are shopping for groceries at the…

Prayer Power
I believe in the power of prayer. I believe that God hears me, that He answers. I believe because I have experienced grace, I have experienced answered prayer. I believe because I can literally see God working in my life every single day. When we pray according to the will of God, miracles happen. So…
