How to truly live a Christ-Centered Life There’s a difference between living for Jesus and living from Him. One will wear you out. The other will keep you grounded. If you’ve ever found yourself tired, always proving, constantly comparing, or wondering if you’re doing enough, this post is for you. Let’s explore what it really means to live a Christ-centred life, where He is not an add-on but the anchor. 1. Christ Is the Center of the Bible, Not You We often approach Scripture asking, “What does this say about me?” But the better question is, “What does this reveal about Jesus?” From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells one story, which is JESUS! Let's see these verses that re-echo this truth. Luke 24:27 (NIV) And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself John 5:39  (NIV) You study [a] the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that t...

Watching My Toddler Grow Taught Me About Spiritual and Personal Growth The other day, I found myself staring at my daughter, Buttercup, wondering, When did she get so tall? I’m with her every day, yet I never noticed when she grew by an inch or lost her adorable chubbiness to toddler movements. Buttercup has gone from being a baby to a lively toddler, and it’s been one of the most rewarding—yet puzzling—experiences of my life. It feels like just yesterday she was learning to crawl, and now she’s running around, exploring the world with curiosity and independence. This reflection made me wonder: Where was I while this growth happened? Why didn’t I notice it? Of course, my thoughts quickly shifted to spiritual growth (because I'm Bibi) and how invisible it often feels. Whether physical, spiritual, or personal, growth happens gradually and often feels unseen until we pause and look back. In today’s post, I’ll explore how raising Buttercup has helped me better understand spiritual gr...

Nest With Me: Preparing for Baby Girl in a Cozy Space Preparing for a new baby is an adventure in itself, but doing it in a two-bedroom apartment with about 800 square feet? That’s a whole different level of creativity! With limited space, lots of love, and a pink-and-grey theme in mind, we’ve been busy making our cozy home ready for our baby girl’s arrival. A Little Space, A Lot of Love Our apartment may not be huge, but every corner is filled with heart and purpose. The second bedroom will remain a guest room for now while out little one stays in our room for a considerable while. But we've been able to carve an area and transform it into a nursery, and the theme—pink and grey—adds the perfect touch of sweetness and serenity. . The Real MVP: My Friend Diane I owe so much of this nesting success to my amazing friend Diane. She’s basically a home organization guru thanks to her extensive knowledge gained from watching countless home reorganization videos. Diane has a knack for max...

Are Babymoons Still Worth It? My Relaxing Escape to Hilton All-Inclusive Cancun As I entered the final stretch of pregnancy, the idea of a babymoon lingered in my mind. Was it worth the effort, cost, and planning? Would I even enjoy it, given how tired I already felt? Ultimately, I decided to go for it, choosing the Hilton All-Inclusive Cancun as our destination. Spoiler alert: it was absolutely worth it—but not in the way I initially imagined.
