There are seasons when it feels like the dream is sleeping – untouched, unanswered, maybe even unrealistic. You look around and wonder if it’s still worth it. You’ve prayed, you’ve fasted, you’ve waited, and yet nothing seems to be moving. But let me remind you today: the dream is not dead. It’s simply waiting for…

I was reading through my journal this morning and came across an entry I dated February 2006. As I read it, I felt led to share it, maybe it will bless someone, just as it reminded me again of God’s greatness. I’ve been sitting with this phrase: “Bless the Lord.”What does that really mean? To…

I saw a headline on a friend’s WhatsApp status: “18-year-old Impregnates 10 Girls.” The person who shared it made a comment about the failure of fathers or something along those lines. As I read it, something stirred in me. And this was my response… Do we even know if his father was reckless too—or if…

Just a Thought… In a world where image often screams louder than identity, we’re seeing more and more young girls stepping out in clothes that reveal much… but protect little. This isn’t about judgment—it’s a gentle reflection. Have we, as a community, unintentionally allowed culture to shape how our daughters see themselves? When we celebrate…

I walked into a home, and for the first time in a long time, I had to fight to keep my emotions in check. The sight before me was overwhelming—piles of clothes stacked like towers, bags of unknown contents filling every corner. The air was thick with the weight of years of accumulation, both of…

I recently received a message that left me deep in thought. It made me wonder—why would someone, instead of expressing gratitude for kindness shown to them, choose to guilt-trip the giver? I don’t know what was going through the giver’s mind. Were they hurt but trying not to show it? Did they brush it off,…

In 2019, I had an experience that made me realize just how much people observe our actions, even when we don’t think anyone is paying attention. It reminded me of the importance of being intentional in how we live and treat others. That year, I started working in a new area and took the same…
