I understand consequences better than most of the people I know. My parents are from Haiti and moved to North Miami and I know at one point my dad was homeless, but that didn’t stop them from enduring. They worked tirelessly to make sure my brother, sister, and I would have a typical American life. Although they were stressed out and those experiences affected their … Continue reading “The Hardest Test”: A Testimony
“So much of self is involved in what we do here; but one day, in Christ, we will have perfect love.”-Billy Graham I believe some of the best conversations happen during lunch time. There’s something about sharing life’s happenings, over a good meal or just sharing any type of life experience all in the short time of an hour. Lately, because of the people I’ve … Continue reading Humility

I invite you to … Continue reading Steps to Love

“To love at all is to be vulnerable”- C.S Lewis The very first time I ever attended a cadence, small group, I remember unintentionally being very silent. “Ligia, do you want to go to a bible study with me?” My roommate had gently asked me one night after she willingly, without me asking at all, came to support a school event I was serving in. … Continue reading Vulnerability
Have you ever looked dumb and wished you hadn’t done what made you “look dumb”? Have you ever had a moment where you’re just like “I have a great idea;” when in reality, you don’t have a great idea. It’s actually a stupid idea. It’s actually a completely foolish idea. I’m going to jump quickly into this and just talk about a disciple that had … Continue reading The Foolish Ones
I used to get in the way of myself sometimes. And by sometimes I mean most of the time. As a new Christian, one of my biggest struggles was letting go of the past and moving beyond my insecurities. I let the way that I saw and felt about myself dictate my walk with God. I was more focused on myself than on my God, … Continue reading A Call to Live Authentic: A Testimony
