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.

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.
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.
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.
When Tomorrow Doesn’t Come: A Reflection on Consistency and Last Moments
We make plans for tomorrow, assuming there will always be another chance — another visit, another call, another outing. But someday, there won’t be. None of us knows when we’ll face our final moments. That’s why consistency matters: the oil we keep replenishing today may be the very thing that carries us when tomorrow doesn’t come.
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.
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.
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.
From Sacrifice to Convenience: A Hard Look at Modern Christianity
Growing up, I witnessed a faith that was marked by sacrifice—hours of prayer, unwavering commitment, and giving even when there was little to give. Today, with all our conveniences and distractions, I find myself asking: Are we still running the same race our parents did? This heartfelt reflection explores the cost of true discipleship, the danger of watered-down consecration, and the call to realign with God’s unchanging standard.
