She's Worth it

“She’s worth it”..... those were the words my boss used to describe the ridiculous amount of money he just spent on an engagement ring (and that was after the 25% discount he got). I can tell you that I blushed on ‘her’ behalf- those are the words any girl would want to be described as by her significant other.                        ...

I am NOT my hair. I am NOT your expectation. I AM who God says i am.

I could hardly contain myself. I’d actually passed the test?! I still couldn’t believe it. I was sure- no, I was certain I’d flunked it. I literally screamed into the phone when i called my best friend of 20years to break the news. “I got it! I got it! I got it! I go....” “Hello to you too young lady” I giggled nervously as I waited for her to ask the million dollar question. “So what...

We're almost there....don't give up now

How time flies. I still remember January 01 2012, and now it’s December 03 2012. Praise God!!! When i think about how far He’s brought me, how different the girl who sits here typing is from the girl who saw January 1st, i really can’t help but praise Him. The year started off slow, but in the blink of an eye went into overdrive towards the middle of the year, like it was trying to make up for my...

Never Ever!

Hebrews 13:5b 'because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”  I caught the last few minutes of Focus on the family on my way to work yesterday, and boy I’m sure glad I did! The guest speaker was Pastor Brady Boyd who is a senior pastor at New life church. He shared a very powerful story about being bullied as a kid. It all began when he was asked to replace...

A friend loves at all times.

So you know how I hardly delete emails? Well the poem I’ve written below was one I sent someone in 2010 (or was it 2011?). I found it a few weeks ago while organising my inbox and it got me thinking about friends and friendship. I decided then that I’d write a post about friendship at some point, and today presented a wonderful opportunity. As is our custom, my colleagues and I had a heated conversation...

Just like the Dead Sea?

A dear friend once told me during a very difficult period in my life that my area of trials is my area of ministry- words which God has proven to be very true over the last few months. More than using our experiences to build others up, God also uses those experiences to build us up. Last week Monday and Friday, I had a series of conversations with a young lady about similar trials we are currently...

Knock, knock please let me in!!!!

“Eyamba?” I didn’t respond. I wanted to scream, hit him – anything to dispel the raging emotions I was feeling. How could he come back after all this time and ask this of me. Just when I was picking up the pieces of my broken heart, just as I was getting my life back on track. In that moment I considered all the hurtful things I could say to him - to give him a taste of how I felt and what...
