I stood in the DFW airport saddled with two suitcases packed to their absolute maximum limit with not a single inch or pound to spare. If you want a faster way to Marie Kondo your life, just play a fun game where you pretend to move overseas and can only take two suitcases weighing 32kg […]

Sometimes Christians Get it Wrong
Sometimes Christians get it wrong. Struggling with an agonizingly painful medical condition, a friend of mine rallied her online community for prayer. My heart dropped as I scanned the comments. What I want to believe was a well-intentioned message, reeked of shame and condemnation. Someone told the friend facing unimaginable pain to repent for her […]
The Single Question You Should Ask Yourself in The New Year
2020. What a year. With a vaccine on the market, many people are feeling more hopeful that the worst of the pandemic will soon be behind them. We can all take a collective sigh of relief. At least, there is some form of light at the end of the tunnel. Still, for most, 2020 has […]
Spiritual Starvation
I sat with a friend in a restaurant when he turned to me and said, “Tiffany, one day you will be in a place where you will need to stir your affections for the Lord.” I stared at him appalled by this statement. How could I ever fall out of love with Jesus or need […]
All things work for good?
I walked through the doors of the church as a last resort in my life, feeling beat up from incurring one too many brutal blows to my heart. As I inched closer to Jesus, I’ll never forget one of the first sermons I heard. The pastor used a cookies reference to explain how God takes […]

In Uganda, children get a long break from school over the Christmas holiday. Most kids are out of school from the beginning of December to the beginning of February. My husband and I decided it would be good to have Harunah, the boy my mother-in-law takes care of, come stay with us in the city […]
When rejection reveals your purpose
Right after college, I went headfirst into a corporate environment. My goal was to get my foot in the door and rise up in the ranks. In typical Millennial fashion, a fire ignited inside of me at the thought of all the possibilities within my reach. To my surprise, I actually loved my job as […]
Laughing Our Way Back to Life
I displayed a sign proudly on my desk at work that said, “Ask me for the laugh of the day.” I would share a silly joke with any innocent bystander willing to take me up on the offer. Laughter rippled across cubicles as I shared cheesy jokes that should never see the light of day. […]
Bad Company Corrupts Good Character
The other morning I wanted to whip up scrambled eggs for breakfast. With two eggs cracked and in the bowl I went to grab the final egg to join its friends. As I cracked it on the side of the glass bowl not only did a dark liquid seep into the bowl, but the egg […]

Am I in an abusive relationship?
I remember a night cowering in the corner as my boyfriend at the time lifted his fist to hit me. He never followed through, but I remember thinking in my mind, “Please, not this again.” I had just gotten out of an abusive relationship and by “gotten out” I mean this person went to jail […]
