A simple family adventure of trying new vegetables turned into a quiet lesson about how God grows us — one experience, one act of obedience, and one “taste of grace” at a time.
My lifestyle
The Power of a Simple Thank You
At a chilly morning bus stop, my son’s simple habit of saying “good morning” and “thank you” opened my eyes to how gratitude softens hearts — and how God notices even our smallest gestures of thanks.
The Real Measure of Success: Systems, Succession, and Lasting Impact
True success isn’t measured by personal achievement alone. It’s found in systems, succession, and impact that continues long after you’re gone.
Wrapped in Love: Finding God’s Love in Everyday Moments
While home under the weather, I witnessed God’s love in the simplest of ways — through the tender prayers of my daughter, the concern of my son, the mimicry of my baby, and the steady support of my mum and husband. In that moment, I was reminded that the everlasting love of God wraps us right where we are.
Grace in the Everyday: When God Waves You Through
Have you ever had one of those moments where something good came your way, completely unexpected, and you knew it wasn’t because of anything you did? That’s grace. Some call it G.R.A.C.E. — God’s Riches Abundant at Christ’s Expense. However you spell it, it shows up in the tiniest details of life, little fingerprints of God’s kindness reminding us that grace isn’t earned — it’s simply given.
Apples of Gold: The Quiet Art of Feedback
My dad had a way of correcting without crushing. His words built people up, even when he disagreed. Looking back, I see how his gentle art of feedback reflected Proverbs 25:11: “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”
Knowing When to Be Silent and When to Speak Up: What Jesus Teaches Us About Self-Mastery
Yesterday I had a conversation that reminded me of something profound: Jesus always knew the right way to respond. Sometimes He was silent, other times He spoke up, and in every case His response was full of grace.
The Bible tells us, “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt” (Colossians 4:6). That kind of wisdom — knowing when to be quiet and when to speak — is priceless.
In a world that glorifies retaliation, Jesus shows us the power of restraint, forgiveness, and self-mastery.
Strength Under Control: Leading with Emotional Intelligence at Home
Homes don’t thrive on love, money, routines, or even good intentions alone. They thrive on the quiet strength of emotional intelligence — the strength that sustains love and steadies every season. From Joseph’s restraint to Boaz’s kindness, the Bible shows us that emotional intelligence is not weakness but strength under control, and when embraced by both men and women, it transforms our homes into places of trust, respect, and love.
Silent Lessons: The Power of Observation
Not all lessons are taught in words. Some of the strongest lessons are communicated even in silence. Through my dad’s quiet strength, my church upbringing, and even my research as a biologist, I’ve seen the power of observation. Our lives—our silence, habits, and responses—are always teaching. The question is, what story are we telling?
From Paper Shoes to Divine Purpose: A Mother’s Reflection on Creation
When my son set out to make a paper bag, a ship, and eventually a pair of shoes, I didn’t expect to be reminded of God’s own creative heart. What started as a simple craft project became a reflection on how we’re made to create—and made with purpose.
Emotional Intelligence: Not Just for the Workplace, But for the Home
We often hear about emotional intelligence in the workplace, but less commonly in the home. Yet Scripture is full of women—Abigail, Ruth, the Shunammite woman, Deborah—who embodied wisdom, restraint, and empathy. Their stories show us how emotional intelligence can shape families, diffuse tension, and even open the door for miracles. With God’s grace, we, too, can build welcoming yet resilient homes.
From Triangle to Prism: Discovering Hidden Richness in Simple Spaces
From the outside, my life looked triangular—church, home, school. But inside that triangle, God was shaping depth, joy, and hidden richness.
Beyond the Pulpit: Lessons I Learned at Camp Meetings
Serving at camp meetings wasn’t just about washing dishes, serving food, or even singing in the choir — it was a school of life. From the kitchens to security posts and the choir/orchestra, I discovered that some of the deepest lessons of faith are learned not at the pulpit, but in the everyday acts of service.
Invisible Seeds: What Teaching Colors Reminded Me About Parenting
A simple car ride conversation about colors reminded me: parenting is less about big moments and more about the invisible seeds we plant daily. Even the smallest lessons echo further than we can see.
How to Correct Without Crushing Someone’s Spirit: The Power of Truth Wrapped in Love
Truth without love wounds. Love without truth misleads. Jesus showed us the balance. Discover how His gentle approach—and a few funny life lessons from my dad—taught me to speak truth without breaking someone’s spirit.
Life as a Project: Applying Project Management Principles to Intentional Living
Discover how Psalm 90:12 and project management phases can guide you to live each day with purpose, priority, and intentionality.
Final Acts of Love: Honoring the Memory of Those Who Can’t Say Thank You
What does love look like when there’s no chance of “thank you” in return? In this heartfelt reflection, I explore the quiet, sacred power of final acts of love—drawing from the lives of Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, King David, and the wisdom passed down by my father. Love doesn’t die with the body. It keeps giving—even in silence.
