The story behind this page

A Deeper Walk with God

I gave my life to Christ when I was young, baptized at the tender age of 8. My faith was real, and so was my desire to serve Him. There were seasons when I was genuinely running after God. But looking back, I can also see places where my faith stayed at the surface. I knew how to say, “God’s got me,” yet when life felt uncertain, I often lived as though everything depended on me. I believed in God’s faithfulness, but I was still learning what it meant to seek Him, trust Him, and let that trust shape the way I lived.

Then three years ago, in 2023, I was diagnosed with lupus. I had questions I couldn’t brush aside, pain I couldn’t fix, and fears that a familiar answer couldn’t settle. I had to bring all of that to God. In the middle of it, I began to know Him more deeply. My circumstances didn’t suddenly become easy, but my relationship with Him changed. I started to see how much more He wanted to do in my heart.

That journey is still unfolding. Deeper with God is a place for me to share what I’m learning through honest thoughts, testimonies, Bible devotionals, and prayers. Some days I’ll have a story of His faithfulness; other days I’ll be writing from the middle of a question. My hope is that you’ll find encouragement here to bring your whole life to God, seek Him for yourself, and keep going deeper with Him.

Philippians 1:6: "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"

What am I still trying desperately to control because I’m afraid of what will happen if I truly put it in God’s hands?

The miracle isn’t only in what God takes away. Sometimes it’s in what He does within us while it remains.

Instead of only asking, “Is this technically a sin?” maybe the questions should be: What is my heart posture toward it?

Doing the thing should never take the place of the One who brought the thing in the first place.
