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
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…
One Lover, One Loved
I am not sure how qualified I am to write this blog post because I am not married but its been a thought burning in my heart since I started a new devotional titled 'sex, purity and the longings of a girls heart'. As I've read and meditated on it, it's become more and more … Continue reading One Lover, One Loved

I have insisted on walking rather than taking the bus because asides the extra time for meditation while I walk, I also often walk past a school which always gives me something to chuckle about through the entire day. If it … Continue reading Always seen
Our wedding party
I have vivid memories from my sisters wedding, sometimes I could be doing the most random thing and a memory from that day comes to mind and I smile, laugh or cringe. If you’ve been to family events, whether weddings, birthdays, reunions or even burials, particularly if you’re of the African decent, you’ll know that … Continue reading Our wedding party
Divine reminders
About 2 months ago now, someone left me a message on Twitter, it was a long message and as I read, I already began to hear the Holy Spirit tell me to take it seriously. It was just half of the story written there and the person was to send a vn detailing the rest … Continue reading Divine reminders
But (s)he’s not God
I got a glimpse of making your partner your God a few weeks ago. I can be quite the opposite of a needy partner but in those days, I was extra sensitive and very needy and so I was hurt much more because I placed unrealistic expectations on him without even communicating them at all. … Continue reading But (s)he’s not God
Married with distance
The closer I get to God and the more I get to know Him, the more I realise that love was never made or intended to be distanced. On the contrary, it was made to thrive in close proximity, in very deep levels of intimacy. This is one of the reasons why I often tell … Continue reading Married with distance
