This was suppose to go live two weeks ago but my first attempt at writing it, I got soaked in my own tears, the second attempt, I was convinced it read too much like a fairy tale, the third attempt was me trying hard to avoid a fairy tale story. And so, with the many … Continue reading My memoir of year two

Takes much audacity
Everyday I realise how much audacity it takes to be a Christian. To believe that things will happen because you said it will or that things will not happen because you said it will not. The uncertainty of life by nature constitutes another winning point for the faith we profess because we’re in relationship with … Continue reading Takes much audacity
Maybe it’s us
I don’t think Uriah deserved to die. I spent my morning questioning why God allowed David’s plan to kill him work. I know God has no favourites, but I wondered if something made David more favoured to have planned the death of an honourable man and see it come to fruition. I started going down … Continue reading Maybe it’s us
Which evil is averted?
I remember reading in a concluding part of a book once that “even when we cannot see Gods hand, we must trust His heart”. At first, I thought it was ironic cause I would think that if we trusted His heart, we will seek His hand, but just a few days ago, it made even … Continue reading Which evil is averted?

The rules in miniature golf are quite straightforward. You have 8 hits to attempt getting the ball into the hole, … Continue reading “Last chance”

The bible says that when he attempted joining the disciples there in Jerusalem, they were scared because they still harboured thoughts … Continue reading Purposed rejection
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
Are we exclusive?
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?
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
Remember ‘a broom on the teachers head’
There is a reason that some of the best teachers in any discipline get this title for things like being able to communicate with clarity and precision. Teaching is only considered impactful if those being taught have grasped the knowledge from the said teacher in the easiest way possible. The best teachers use analogies, real … Continue reading Remember ‘a broom on the teachers head’
