I was talking to my grieving friend recently and because she’s my friend, I had seen and heard her talk about a lot previously and listening to her after the result of her grief, she sounded different, altering a lot of what she’d said before and I found myself begging her not to make such … Continue reading Unworthy monuments

Remember ‘a broom on the teachers head’
There is a reason that some of the best teachers in any discipline get this title for things like being able to communicate with clarity and precision. Teaching is only considered impactful if those being taught have grasped the knowledge from the said teacher in the easiest way possible. The best teachers use analogies, real … Continue reading Remember ‘a broom on the teachers head’
Your Daily Reminder
"I'm too weak for this world" These were the words of my friend a few days into 2021. She had a rough morning and with the rush of the emotions came the realisation that she doesn't have the strength for the twists and turns of this world. One would think it was my cue to … Continue reading Your Daily Reminder
The Dwelling
There was no way I was going to let November pass without a blogpost this month, even though I have exceeded my set number of blogposts for the year, I feel uncomfortable letting a month go by without letting you in on what Abba has been teaching me. My devotional this morning gave me a … Continue reading The Dwelling
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

Whether in the person sitting beside us, in nature or simply in the human ability to just be. During my quiet time this … Continue reading More attentive
We won’t stop calling
I remember disturbing my Mum a lot when I was younger, some days I would go close to her and say “Mum” countless times and when she answers, I’ll just smile at her and run away lol I did it so often that some days she would ignore me when I called. When I wanted … Continue reading We won’t stop calling
As far as He can go
I spent a good part of last week meditating on Luke 5:31. Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I spent some time thinking on my weaknesses, not to demoralise myself or provide a platform for the devil to leverage on, but more to recount how much … Continue reading As far as He can go
The shattering sound
A couple of months ago I was home with my little niece, she's just a few months over 1 year but is so astute. We sat in the living room one evening and she kept fiddling with a side glass-table close to the door. I didn't think she was big or strong enough to move … Continue reading The shattering sound
