Of the many things I have been learning in my relationship with this imperfect-perfect human, my favourite has been trusting ‘the once’. In the past, I have been like Gideon, asking God for signs, proofs and confirmation after confirmation when He tells me to move. I’ve let fear, doubt or pure rebellion make me second … Continue reading Moments of truth – Once is enough
Scared soldier
I am always heavily burdened by a kind of news each time it arises, not because the news is in any way more grave than anything I have heard or could hear, more because I often think we would all have been warned hard and long enough about it. It is the strangest thing with … Continue reading Scared soldier
Focus on the stick and water
We learn from Moses in the bible that God can deliver what we ask for from the seeming mundane and normal thing in our hand. God does not always introduce something new, sometimes He opens our eyes to see the new in what we already have. It has taught me contentment and made me more … Continue reading Focus on the stick and water
Ordinary living
Recently had a study with my friends on prophetess Anna, amazing things about someone only referenced in 3 verses in the entire Bible. My favourite thing about her has to be that she lived the ‘ordinary but expected Christian life’. What is an ordinary Christian life you might be thinking? This becomes a fair question … Continue reading Ordinary living
The remains of PUSH.
I grew up surrounded by really amazing women, a lot of them were not directly related to me. Asides my mums corporate job, she has taught in children's church for as long as I can remember so she often had other children church ministers around the house for one catch up or the other. It … Continue reading The remains of PUSH.

Two nights ago, I had an interesting dream, very mundane but powerful. I was back in high school in a dormitory talking with a couple of friends and laughing hard over the things we talked about. As we spoke and laughed, night came and I saw us all go to bed in different beds but … Continue reading Are we exclusive?
Unworthy monuments
I was talking to my grieving friend recently and because she’s my friend, I had seen and heard her talk about a lot previously and listening to her after the result of her grief, she sounded different, altering a lot of what she’d said before and I found myself begging her not to make such … Continue reading Unworthy monuments
Onlooking teacher
I was walking to work about a week ago, there was a young man with his son who was barely 3 years old walking side by side in front of me, so I had an acute view of their every move and could even hear a bit of their conversation. Daddy would point to a … Continue reading Onlooking teacher
Ready or not…
I took a nap a few hours before it was time to join church today. Right before I woke up, I had a short dream where I was at a wedding and thankfully, could recognise a few people there. It was a grand wedding, the atmosphere was heavy with a presence I cannot describe, I … Continue reading Ready or not…
Put all of you in one basket
There are so many exciting things about the bible but my favourite thing has to be how the stories confirm each other, how 3 days in the belly of a fish for Jonah could be likened to 3 days in the grave for Jesus, or how the instruction given to prophet Ezekiel to lie on … Continue reading Put all of you in one basket
