Musings of a Girl From a Broken Home
I read a blog post someone wrote yesterday about the challenges of growing up in a broken home and it just brought back memories. Many people don’t realise how difficult it is to be brought up in a broken home and still turn out great. That’s why for me, the rate of divorce is just […]
The Truth About Friendships, Loyalty and Christianity
I have been thinking a lot lately about how it has become so easy to betray people and move on like nothing is happening. It now looks like every week, I hear one story of betrayal or the other and I just cannot understand it. Whatever happened to being there for one another? Whatever happened […]
The Audacity of Hope
I hardly have dreams when I sleep. I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing. Whichever it is, I tend to take the dreams I remember very seriously since I don’t get a lot of them. There was this particular dream I had when I was 15 years old and I was […]
A Million Reasons to Smile
I wrote a post on Instagram last week about how I was on the verge of throwing in the towel. This was barely days after I wrote the article on how to handle being discouraged. Call that a coincidence? Of course I practice what I preach so after releasing everything to God, I went on […]
4 Surefire Things to Do When Discouraged
Have you ever been discouraged before? Well I have; many times in fact. It is not a good feeling. You feel like all hope is lost, like there is no way forward. Sometimes it comes like a feeling of being stuck and nothing just seems to be working. You have this big dream in your […]
Why We Should Celebrate Men Every Day
Last Sunday was Father’s Day. I am usually excited about Father’s Day because it’s the day I can get all mushy mushy with my dad. My dad is not the mushy mushy kind. The first day I told him that I loved him, it was so awkward. He did not even know what to say! […]
Scared of Climbing That Mountain? Have Faith
I used to dream of climbing Mount Everest when I was a child. The thought of climbing the highest mountain in the world just excited me. Then I watched a documentary on TV showing some people’s journey to the top of the mountain and I literally froze in my couch. “There is no way I […]
The Easiest Thing In The World
Do you know life is so much easier when you find that thing you can do even while you are asleep? I like to call it the easiest thing in the world. It’s that thing that comes naturally to you. It’s the thing you do effortlessly when others are struggling. The thing about the easiest […]
The Incredible Benefits of Patience
Isn’t it difficult to watch everyone make progress while it looks like your life is at a standstill? It can be quite frustrating. I know because I have been there myself. You never realise how important patience is until you get to the point where it seems as if your dreams will never come true. […]
The Dangers of Judging Others
Isn’t life very interesting? God created us as unique human beings with different personalities and desires, yet we have found a way to believe that our way of doing things is the best. People rarely admit to being wrong, even when it is so obvious that they are wrong. But when it’s time find fault […]
How to Find Happiness When Sad
Sometimes, life feels like a roller coaster. Things move on so fast and it seems so hard to keep up. You have to think about so many things at once depending on what stage of life you are in. There’s family to think about, your career, your finances … I can go on and on. […]
The Incredible Power of a Seed You Should Know
There are certain things that fascinate me about life. One of them is the miracle of childbirth. The other is the process of germination in crops. Both are similar. They involve the planting of a seed and the growth of that seed. I find it fascinating that a tiny seed, invisible to the eye, can […]
How to Know the Right Time to Move On
I love chess because it is all about strategy; planning your next move while you anticipate your opponent’s next move. Sometimes, I wish life will just be as straightforward as playing chess. You can predict the set of moves your opponent is likely to make and plan your own move based on that (this depends […]
