Earlier on in this week I posted a blog which I titled, ‘Expectation — Disappointment: The Thin Line’ and, as promised, I’ve come to finish off the blog... As I mentioned in the previous blog, it can be really easy for your expectations for a certain occasion, person or situation to quickly turn to disappointment and whilst it’s impossible...

Expectation — Disappointment: The Narrow Line
Erm... I don’t know about you guys but I’ve had to take many social media breaks this year and in the past years whether at the suggestion of close friends or as I personally felt led. Overall, I used to feel like I was immune to the effects of social media on one’s mental health... Continue Reading →
Titus 3 & Doing Good
Today’s blog is going to be a little bit different in that I will be writing about something that really hit home for me and was a revelation to me in a way (if I may be permitted to call it that) after randomly stumbling across Titus. The book of Titus is a weird one-... Continue Reading →
Faith in the face of doubt
I think I posted a similar blog on this topic a few months ago but clearly, it’s still a lesson that I’m learning. To be honest, I don’t think we ever stop learning about faith or having to develop our faith further- different things happen to us in life that require our level of faith.... Continue Reading →
My brother’s keeper
The words of Cain when confronted by God about his brother’s disappearance (… 'am I my brother’s keeper') have always disturbed me. And even nowadays, when I hear these same words being spoken, it stirs up the same reaction within me. It’s also strange that the words we speak today aren’t so different from those...

It all started on a faithful Saturday afternoon where I had decided to reduce my ever-growing mound... Continue Reading →
Count the Cost- Lesson Learnt
I wonder how many of us have started something without really understanding what it would cost us to see it to completion? Lately, this idea of counting the cost has been bubbling up within me. Jesus said in Luke 14:28–30: For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and... Continue Reading →
So… what’s your experience?
So… lately I’ve really been thinking about my experience of God. Well it hasn’t just been ‘lately’, it has been for a few years now. Now, I grew up in a Christian environment and have been attending church for as long as I can remember but whenever I would hear people’s testimonies about God I... Continue Reading →
Romans 12-9
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.Romans 12:9 (NKJV) I read this passage in my devotional this morning and I don’t know… something about it just hit me differently. Let love be without hypocrisy?!! Wow! I had always been of the thought that I was quite a loving... Continue Reading →
Lessons From Luke ~ 2
So... earlier on this week asking for contributions on Luke 12:15-21. Thanks to everyone that shared! My findings are below! Luke 12:15-21 In the short form of this, this passage really taught me about how short life is and how quickly it passes away. It dawned on me that we ought to seek the things that...
