Jonathan Girma shares about the trap of believing life will only be good once we get that ‘one thing’ - whether it might be a relationship, career success, or financial gain. He reflects on how desires can be things that consume us, and how true faith invites us to live in the present, trusting God for today’s hope, joy, and peace.

Jonathan Girma is, among many things, a poet and writer. After growing up in Calgary, Canada, he moved to New York, where he now works as a front-end engineer at Audible. There, he pursues another of his passions: using design to create innovative solutions to real-world challenges.
