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

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”

During the planning season of one of our annual events, while … Continue reading Imaginary babies
The seed in dead air
There is something called “dead air” in broadcasting and theatre. It usually has a negative connotation because it means the audience has been left without entertainment for a sustained period. So generally, theatres and broadcast outlets often plan things to avoid dead air. They do well to keep the audience occupied throughout the duration of … Continue reading The seed in dead air
My memoir of year two
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
On being Christian and feminist …
The problem with accepting the labels given by the world is that you don’t get to explain the extent of your own subscription to it. This is why believers stand in one identity (Christ) and we can subscribe to ideologies and thoughts, but just not allow them become another identity, the moment it does, you’ll … Continue reading On being Christian and feminist …
