Pilot

Pilot - a stand alone episode of a television series that is used to sell a show to a television network or other distributor.

A pilot is created to be a testing ground to gauge whether a series will be succesful but in this case, its my blog. I have always been passionate about writing but I have never publicised it, over the years I have written countless poems that I keep hidden away. This is mostly due to my anxiety and my undeniable fear of failure. 

I have finally mustered the courage to get out of my comfort zone and start a blog to share my thoughts and pieces of myself that I keep hidden away. The ultimate goal of this blog is to write about things I go through and to face my fears in hopes of inspiring someone and letting them know that they are not alone. 

This is an introductory post and I promise that there is still so much more to come. This is extremely nerve wrecking but I am so proud of myself for taking the first step. I wont restrict myself to one theme or topic, we will just see where the journey takes us. 

Until next time...

Obedience is better than sacrifice: A case study on King Saul

I seem to gravitate towards writing about obedience and its because when I read the Bible, obedience stands out the most to me. Also, disobedience seems to be the downfall of most biblical figures and of course, disobedience leads to sin. Obedience is about submitting to God's commandments, His laws and His will.  It makes sense why obedience is difficult because it requires us to lay down our own wills for God's will. Walking with Christ requires the willingness and ability to lay down your own will for His because His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). Disobedience was the reason for the fall of mankind. God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because it would lead to death (Genesis 2:16-17). Scripture provides a lot of instances that show disobedience and its consequences. This post is dedicated to studying King Saul and how his disobedience led him to being rejected as King by the Lord.

A leap of faith: Progress over Perfection

It has been a while since my last post. I've had so much to blog about but it has been hard translating my thoughts into coherent words. I have some posts in my drafts but I can't seem to complete them yet.  One of the reasons why it takes time to complete a post is because... I just realized that I want to be a perfectionist when it comes to my blog. The desire for perfection actually ends up getting in the way because I often feel like my posts aren't good enough to be posted. The desire for perfection in terms of my blog keeps me stuck and unproductive. I also think I have placed a lot of pressure on myself when it comes to my blog. When I gave my life to Christ, I made the decision to use my blog as a platform to share the gospel and simply talk about my walk with Him. That decision hasn't been the easiest because I feel like it contributed to the pressure I put on myself (stay with me now). It was easier for me to blog about whatever topic I decided on but once I m...

The Pursuit Of Identity

There is a song I absolutely love and listen to a lot. It is a cover by Lawrence and Godswill Oyor titled Oshimiri Atata (which translates to, "River that never runs dry"). The song talks about how Jesus is the river that never runs dry. He is the One that provides never ending nourishment. He is the One that fills us up.  There is a particular line in the song that stood out to me the very first time I heard it: "The son of a lion is a lion." At the time, I didn't understand why the line stood out to me but after a while, it made sense. One of the biggest topics in our generation is about identity. We all desire to know who we are. The problem starts when we want to discover our identities outside of the One who created us. Before fully giving my life to Christ, I was in the pursuit of my identity but I was using the world's standards. I wanted to find my place in society, I wanted to fit in. My search was outside of Christ and that led to a lot of confusio...
