Ever had those moments when you feel fragile all the time? Its like a fly passing could easily set you off into a darkness of grief? Well, this morning was one of those moments. I can’t even remember the actual topic between my sister and I. I remember feeling this choking, trying to hold offContinue reading “Reflections: Forgive and Heal..”

The Father’s Love: LOVE
So I’ve always wondered why Job said “thou He slay me, yet shall I trust in Him”. I was very confused about continuing to trust God when all I seem to be experiencing is pain and suffering. Recently it just felt like God forgot about what He promised me or simply didn’t care. I amContinue reading “The Father’s Love: LOVE”
The Father’s Love: Arise and Live!
Ezekiel 16:6 V6: Live – remember those times when life itself had no meaning? When the pain was so unbearable you desired death? When you cried from the depths of your soul? The bleeding spoken of in scripture may have been self-induced due to foolishness (everyone has had a run in with foolishness) or inflictedContinue reading “The Father’s Love: Arise and Live!”
Sermon Time: Grace
Genesis 38:6-30 V6-11:1. Tamar was chosen by Judah2. Tamar’s purpose was clear by now – raise up a heir for Er, Judah’s firstborn3. Er and Onan are the ones whose wickedness is mentioned that led to their death. It is interesting though that Judah blames Tamar for their deaths hence he sent her home toContinue reading “Sermon Time: Grace”
The Father’s Love: Criteria
Up until I accepted God’s love I really had no criteria of who qualifies to have access to my heart, mind and soul. I was foolish. I now realise how much pain I exposed myself to for letting people who just meant no good into my life. What I have learned though is that onceContinue reading “The Father’s Love: Criteria”
The Father’s Love: Inner Peace
To surrender all must be the hardest thing I have had to do. My life took twists and turns that stretched me, my faith and my relationship with God, people and self. I reached that point where I was like “Lord if one more thing happens, I’ll lose every neuron in my brain!”. And asContinue reading “The Father’s Love: Inner Peace”
Relationships: Open To Love
I dont actually remember the exact time I decided I was ready to share my heart. I think it was a gradual process. What I do remember is that I refused to be in a relationship until I knew my worth and what my contribution would be. There is so much power in that. IfContinue reading “Relationships: Open To Love”
Relationships: Navigating New Territory
There is unfortunately no guide on how to build your life from scratch that works 100%. Most of what we know about new territory is through trial and lots of errors! Single mom and woman is a title I had never desired for myself, yet it was my reality. One of the challenges of beingContinue reading “Relationships: Navigating New Territory”
Relationships: Grief
Who but God can truly know the hearts of men? Imagine your heart breaking in ways you cant even articulate… After the anger and shame I cried and cried and cried until literally no tears were left. I cried for the ex, for me and the us that never was and never would be. IContinue reading “Relationships: Grief”
Relationships: Mothers, fathers and sisters
I’m the eldest of two daughters. The age gap between my sister and I is almost 8 years. This means we never quite played together and by the time she was born I had come to “my own”. My mother’s name is Grace. She is in every sense graceful. While she couldn’t relate to whatContinue reading “Relationships: Mothers, fathers and sisters”
