A few nights ago, I had to brace myself against a rush of anxiety. It started by reflecting on how we made it through last year. It’s still a mystery to me. Then, I went over my goals and hopes for 2022 which led me to the things I needed…

A Promise

A poem — A confidant, a best friend, an anchor, He is none of that, He is much more. Ours is not a straight affair, We’ve had our share of tears, But we’ve always got each other. Not my better half, His flaws are a ton, His qualities surpass them all.

Emmanuel, God with us

Let me start with a song recommendation and no it’s not a Christmas carol: All I see by Sinach. Part of the lyrics is the sentence ‘You are in control’. For most of the year I’ve had to remind myself time and time again that God was in control. …

Are you lazy? What does that even mean?

Dear Alma, Am I lazy? Am I not doing enough? Then why do I feel like a failure? Those were the questions you asked me during our last conversation. At first, I was befuddled. How? Why? How did you come to ask yourself those questions? I blurted a quick no…

Who told you that?

Slowly but surely the light in your eyes is fading I see you shrinking, and I keep asking myself Who told you that? Who convinced you? Who convinced you of your inadequacy? Who told you that the world needed less of you? …
