Bloom in Journey

We Are Free

I’ve been thinking about freedom since Sunday. Thinking about what it means to be free. What does being free look like? And asking myself am I free? I was apprehensive about sharing this song because honestly I don’t have anything deep to say. But what I can say is I Am FREE in JESUS CHRIST….

In Spite of…

God promises both suffering and abundance. In everything we do we must keep our eyes on Him. Regardless of the situation we should still flourish. God calls us to flourish in the midst of the trials. Often times we can’t see how but the secret is that we flourish in spite of ourselves. Jesus born…

Take Courage

It’s been a long time and its feels weird to type that. When I started the blog my greatest fear was that I would not be consistent. Unfortunately, inconsistency has plagued for me sometime. What is crazy about fear is that at some point they can be a means by which if we allow it…

The Slighted Crown

This is Bloom in Journey right? A place where I said I wanted to be transparent and where others can glean, share and support each other… That is the ultimate goal. So along my journey I am compelled to share my experiences. Whether they are triumphant or disastrous. Let’s start from the beginning: Heads up…….

Let’s help to Rebuild

In 2009 I went to South Africa to study abroad for 6 months. Since that time I’ve never been the same again. During those six months I surrendered my life to Christ and was set free from so many chains that I struggled with for most of adolescence to early adulthood. As a result, South…

Reflecting on Resurrection Sunday

Caleb: Where is my Confidence?

Dear Caleb, I’m sorry I’ve taken so long to write. I’ve set it in my heart to write this for letter 2 weeks but just couldn’t bring myself to write it. I have one question for you.. how did you do it? You and the other 11 spies went to explore Canaan, the Promised…

Truth: God is Constant

It’s Wednesday night and I’m brushing my teeth realizing that tomorrow is Thursday and I still have nothing to post on my blog. But to be honest, I didn’t have anything to post. There were certain things the Holy Spirit and I have been working through and that’s all there is. But while I was…
