What is the site about?
Welcome to a little corner of the web where christian faith is explored, scriptures and stories about life’s journey are shared, and encouragement for the Christian walk. Life is not easy, but it works better when we are in community with one another!
A little about me, I am first and foremost a believer and a follower of Jesus Christ. Secondly, I am an Engineer. I love to discover and explore through daily life how Christ works through situations in my life and how He reveals who He is. Additionally, when I get a really good topic I love to dive into see what the Bible has to say.
I started this blog all the way back in 2010 and felt the calling to write again this past year. I will be creating new content on a frequent basis. So please stay tuned!
I hope that this blog brings some encouragement and allows you to find a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God.
Looking forward to interacting with you!
