Born in a devout and revered Muslim household, I accepted Christ in 2008 and was baptized in 2011. Since then, my journey has been anything but easy. It’s been filled with far more valleys and wilderness seasons than mountaintop moments Looking back, one of the biggest surprises…

I know I’m not the best person, but sometimes I feel as humans we just can’t endure suffering anymore. I tried to face my suffering with happiness and repentance, but if I hear one more scripture or verse about God and suffering I will lose it. I need a miracle at this point, bu…
