I wish I could remember why the 13-year-old me wanted to get baptised so badly. Looking back, all I can remember is feeling a sense of urgency because of a campaign that had been happening at the time. It felt like it was now or never. It’s funny how much of a fuss I made […]

Tokens of Love by Brandon and Sheretta Taylor was one of my favourite reads from 2019! I really enjoyed journeying through the love stories of the Bible. I don’t usually read devotionals, but I’ve been blessed by the YouTube ministry of this couple and I wanted to read what God had put on their heart. […]

Although giving generally has good connotations, an experience last year reminded me that it’s possible to give selfishly. There’s a big difference between giving what you want versus what the other person needs. She needed friendship and quality time, but I convinced myself that money and occasional phone calls would suffice as they were other […]

I don’t know about you, but I’m always apprehensive about things that take me outside my comfort zone. On the other hand, I’m also eager to expand my skill set… catch-22, right? Whilst I would prefer to stick to things that I know I’m comfortable with, I’m learning that the ‘scary’ things aren’t always as […]

I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about 2020! Not just this year, but the entire decade. As I write this, I’m reflecting on the past decade and so much has changed… way more than my 14-year-old self could have possibly imagined. But that’s the thing with life, there are so many twists and […]

Present The thing they say about habits taking 21 days to form is so true. Well, in my case anyway. This particular habit (of not having devotion) is one I’d rather not cling to. That probably seems slightly perplexing given that this is a devotional blog and there’s been a post every week this year […]

Do you ever wish you could turn back time and give the younger version of you the knowledge you’ve gained about life? I do. At times it feels like there’s a film playing in my head that I can’t stop. I keep rewinding it and hoping that I’ll say something different so the outcome changes… […]

My friend and I always find it funny that guys actually thought we were attractive during puberty i.e. before the ‘glow up.’ Astonishingly, they did. So much so that we ended up in relationships. However, the sixteen-year-old version of me certainly had no business being anyone’s girlfriend… “Promise me, O women of Jerusalem, not to […]

Someone told me about the impression I’d left on a group of people we both know and I was crushed. I felt so misunderstood. But I can’t undo the past; that is, sadly, the way I’ll always be remembered by them.  “…did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all who were before […]

Almost everyone is familiar with The Proverbs 31 Woman – but what’s the male equivalent? In all my years of churchgoing, I can’t say I’ve ever heard men encouraged to embody a specific passage in the way women are. Yes, the Proverbs 31 characteristics are also applicable to men; however, when you’re selecting a potential […]
