Cardinal Rules of Love – Part 2 – Do you love you?
Many perceive love as being flowery and easy, almost fairytale-like. What we fail to realize is that fairytales always end at “And they lived happily ever after.” leaving us to imagine what happens during the “happily ever after” love. As Christians we are taught three cardinal rules of love: I recently posited to a friend […]
Daddy Issues
I lost my father before I was even born. That’s ironic because he lived until I was 8 years old and paid my sister and I periodic visits each year. Whenever he visited, I pulled a lot of antics to get him to stay, but he never did. I loved him and he loved me […]
Stronger
Late December 2019, instead of changing into my swimwear and dashing into the water (after a hot 30-min walk), I found myself sitting on the banks of Rio Don Diego, Colombia, oddly reflective. I pondered the upcoming year and one of the paths I felt God was trying to set me on (at the time […]
I Still Believe
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” – St. Mark 9:23 Earlier today, a YouTube notification led me to the trailer of a movie called “I Still Believe” that spoke to me.

The Story I’ll Tell
Within the space of a week I experienced opposite spectrum results for promises God made to me. In March 2020, after spending a week seeking His face, God set me on two paths (there were others but I want to focus on these two). Both paths were filled with hurdles and at times I found […]

Eventually […]
Am I missing the blessing…?
A viral disaster has ravished our land, disrupting our lives and plans. Many of us have suffered severe losses. 🙁 We have lost our livelihoods, loved ones, mental health, our freedom to come and go as we please and our ability to indulge our travel lusts and give hugs and smiles to strangers (don’t judge […]
But…He blocked my path.
This year, one of my favourite verses is Psalms 23:3: He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. It gives me great comfort to know that My Father doesn’t guide me on any path that is not right. This assurance laid the trust foundation for me to jump […]

Focus Chapters: Standout Verse(s): THE ACTION 1 Kings 22:10-13 NLT King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, dressed in their royal robes, were sitting on thrones at the threshing floor near the gate of Samaria.

Bible in 365 Days – Day 157
Focus Chapters: Standout Verse(s): Ecclesiastes 4:4, 6:9 NLT Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless—like chasing the wind. Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless—like chasing the wind. Observation (s): Application: […]
