The only childhood memory I have of my Father was that he kept failing to keep his promisie of buying me a new dress anytime I took first position in class (which I did very term). I really wanted the dress so one term after I took first position in Primary three, I told him …
The Joy of the Believer
Hy guys, Recently, a couple of songs which we would normally term “old-time religion” songs have been popping up in my mind. These are songs of total devotion and consecration to God and sadly, many of them have been forgotten or are rarely sung in our Christian circles these days: “It pays to serve Jesus …
My first birthday gift from my husband
So few days to my birthday, I met my husband. I remember it so well that it seems like yesterday. We had just finished talking on one of those our casual meetings and he mindlessly asked “When is your birthday?” “It’s on 30th.” I answered briefly. He was shocked. “This month?

I saw a post on the internet that made me laugh really hard! It said: “Women’s day is different from Mother’s Day and also different from Mothering Sunday (catholic) which is different from mothering sunday (Anglican) and this is quite different from AG Mother’s day!” Hahaha Many people have asked this question: “Why do we …

Whether it’s a business, relationship, a career path or a building project, growing it is another hard part. After I had my baby, I wondered how growth would happen. Many times I wondered how he’ll learn to …
Lessons from the life of Taya Smith
“There is no limit to what God can do with a heart that is completely yielded to Him!” Ever since I read the story of Taya Smith now (Taya Gaukrodger) a small country girl who God has used to sing His name all over the earth; this thought has not left my heart. Taya didn’t …

Preparing For The New Year
Borrowing the words of a popular TV advert “This year has been a wild ride!” A whole lot has happened this year and many are worn out. Things we didn’t plan for happened and many of them were beyond our control. At some point it looked like there was nothing good about this year, many …
