Some time at the start of July I came across a tweet of a young man who started the month in the hospital, he said his pregnant wife had suddenly collapsed and before he knew what was happening, an ambulance was in his house and she’d been put on oxygen to be transported to the … Continue reading Unknown God

The real torment
Earlier this year I read an article that unfortunately rattled me up a bit, it was an article from an atheist on why she had left the faith despite growing up in the church. On any day, it wouldn’t faze me, but I think this one did because she seemed to have the foundational knowledge … Continue reading The real torment
My own broken alabaster box
My mum returned home one evening to a missing foundation bottle, she probably wouldn’t have realised it was missing if the culprit didn’t also play with it and rub it all over their bed, drawers and even the floor. It truly was a mess. We were assembled to the living room after we all received … Continue reading My own broken alabaster box
Never in control
Every now and again, I’ll encounter a complete stranger who will totally challenge my faith and all I claim to believe in. On this occasion, it was a mum on the internet who had to bury her 2 month old… There’s a scripture that often sends shivers down my spine; “If you faint in the … Continue reading Never in control

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
