All day I heard my mum comment on how cold my babies nursery was, despite the temperature set slightly higher than recommended. In same day, I heard my sister lament constantly about how hot same room was. I heard them both say opposite things so much that I got confused and spent the day turning … Continue reading Deny or Disconnect?

Filtering the professed love
While we will have very different journeys characterised by unique experiences and people, I always still make reference to my journey and experiences to teach or amplify points because it is a tool in my arsenal, as everyone’s experiences also becomes tools in their own arsenal. Paul writing to the church of the Thessalonians says … Continue reading Filtering the professed love
The desire, the willingness and the ability, all present
New converts are so precious to my heart, I feel a compassion towards them almost to same degree I feel towards those yet saved, and that’s because the foundational knowledge of God in the heart of every believer is so important. After the joy of their salvation, I want to be just as joyful at … Continue reading The desire, the willingness and the ability, all present
My memoir of year three
I remember summarising the lesson of year 2 memoir to “don’t wait to fix what is broken, but build what will stand the test of time” and so early in our third year of marriage, we decided to start couples counselling/therapy. I grew up in a church that advocated for marriage enhancement classes once you … Continue reading My memoir of year three

Pictures for Jesus
We will always think of the cross and be in utter dismay. Very little stories make so little, and so much sense all at the same time. It’s like “Wow! But Huh???” Perfect God loved imperfect us so much that His premium son will be offered in exchange for very sinful children. I’ve never really … Continue reading Pictures for Jesus
Musings on “young love”
My husband and I were listening to an old MI song today and while MI was rapping, he said “loving you girl since I was 22”. I made a random joke, singing same line to Nelson; “loving you boy since I was 19” and Nelson said “gosh, you were really so young”. We’re in such … Continue reading Musings on “young love”
New year, New blindfold
I love to remind people that it is Abbas joy, not just His duty, to be present with us. Abba is delighted when we come to him, confide in him, bare our souls to him, press into him, and grow more to be more like him. In one of my biggest lessons from two beautiful … Continue reading New year, New blindfold
“Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow”
I woke up to the worst news this morning. One that makes you lie in bed longer than is necessary, considering all the “whys” and “what ifs”. It was a sharp and hard blow. Nothing anyone should have to deal with at any point, not to talk of within the festive season. A dear friend … Continue reading “Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow”
Imaginary babies
A few years ago, while I lived in the same city I went to university, I served in a church which was a student fellowship, we had young couples who also chose to stay and fellowship with us despite it being largely for students. During the planning season of one of our annual events, while … Continue reading Imaginary babies
