Risk it now
It has been a very interesting year for me so far, and I have been riding a rollercoaster of emotions. Excitement coupled with complete bewilderment seems to have replaced fear. Right now, there has never been a more satisfying feeling in my gut, that I have been able to overcome one of the megalithic traits that has paralysed and impeded my progress.
Risk, can also be likened to chance, a wager or bet. The idea of exposing myself to probability has always frightened me. It has always been in...

The Heart of Worship
I don’t know how to rehearse worship. I could go through the list of songs; maybe look at rearranging their order and select the right keys for each song, but that’s about it really. My understanding is that you are either rehearsing the singing or having worship. I can’t do both. I say this because […]

Quiet times
I lie awake here, in my comfy bed, wrapped up in my duvet with my feet sticking out the end. It’s 3am and the house is cold; until the heating comes on in about three hours. This is one of my favourite moments; when the night seems no longer like the night; and it’s not […]

Season of unveiling
Took some time out to reflect over the past couple of months and I am amazed at the way things have been going so fast. All the things (that seemed unclear or unnecessary) are beginning to fall into pleasant places. 5Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. 6The […]

It’s never too late…
It has been a couple of really busy months for me. So much unexpected change has occurred. Things that I had put on hold, out of frustration and regret, have become relevant again. To think that I had almost given up? Suddenly there’s almost too much for me to do, and the days fly by […]

When Change Comes
When change comes, it can sock you one in the face if you’re not careful, because it may come at the speed of lightning and knock you off your feet. One minute there is silence, and then the next, there’s a huge flurry of manic activity. Despite all the preparation that you may have […]

The Glorified Farm
Breasts, hips and calves; they size us up like prize-stock, checking our gait to see if we are strong enough for breeding. Like bloodthirsty hunters in a permanent state of semi-arousal, they plot on how to move in for the kill. The aim is to tame, dominate and possess, until we are fat with their […]

Simple Writing Style
My writing style is deliberately simple, because I want to make sure that my target audience understands exactly what I’m trying to communicate. I don’t like wasting my time on flowery and poetic works of art because, in this instance, it’s not particularly necessary, and again, it’s simply not my style. I have never tried […]

Finding Your Voice
We all have a story to tell, a personal opinion to share and a voice that needs to be heard. Keeping them to ourselves is not always the best decision, because there is probably someone out there waiting to hear it. In other words, most experiences in life are not supposed to be exclusively yours. […]

Reposition Yourself
A few days ago, I summoned up the courage to share my book on my personal Facebook page. After 3 long years, it was absolutely about time. It took a lot for me to do this, and I only did so because I felt a relentless prompting to do it. My oldest son was also […]
