2025 tested my faith in ways I never anticipated. Struggles, losses, and disappointments revealed where I had leaned on self rather than God. Yet through it all, God remained faithful. As relationships shifted and comforts faded, Christ became my only source of strength. This reflection shares how difficult seasons refine faith, reveal hearts, and draw us into deeper dependence on God’s Spirit and Word.

Christmas hasn’t been cancelled, Christ is still at the center. Yet in the rush of decorations, traditions, and commercial noise, it’s easy to lose sight of the miracle of the manger. This inspiring reflection calls believers back to the heart of Christmas: Jesus Himself. By looking beyond the glitter and busyness, we rediscover the humility, presence, and transforming power of Christ’s birth and learn how to carry Christmas into our lives long after December 25th.
