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
Deny or Disconnect?
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.

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
“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
