Beyond Beauty:The Measure Of Life What Will Remain When You Are Gone? Some years ago, I attended two burial ceremonies , two women, two different days, two very different legacies. What stayed with me was not their ages, their outfits, or the size of the crowd. It was what people could , or could not , say when given the chance to speak. At the first burial, only four people were invited to share. The first speaker cried deeply and said, “I will miss mummy.” Then she struggled, paused, and added that the woman was beautiful… and that people should avoid making her angry because she could be destructive. That was all. The next speaker stood up, clearly overwhelmed, but words failed her. She repeated that she would miss her. The third spoke about appearance, how the woman dressed well, matched her clothes from head to toe, and looked elegant. Then she ended with, “I will miss her.” And that was it. A month later, I attended another burial. Again, the anchor invited people to speak—but th...

Was It Coincidence… or Grace? There are moments in life that quietly interrupt our routines,  moments that do not come with loud announcements or dramatic signs, yet leave a lasting imprint on the heart.  They are not immediately labeled as miracles. They don’t feel extraordinary in the moment. But long after they pass, they return to us as questions we cannot ignore. Moments that make you pause and wonder. Moments that ask gently, Was that coincidence… or grace? One morning, I was on my way to work and boarded a bus as usual. Nothing felt unusual. My thoughts were ordinary, my movements familiar. There was no sense of danger, no spiritual alert, no internal warning. Then suddenly , without deep thought or urgency,   I remembered I needed to get some drugs. It wasn’t planned. It wasn’t something I had been thinking about earlier. I simply stood up and alighted at a bus stop just before my usual stop. I got what I needed and decided to trek home since it wasn’t far. M...

History Repeating Itself While preparing for Christmas activities here and there, a conversation I once had with my husband returned to my heart. I remember saying to him, “Please, do not let history repeat itself.” The previous year, I had been grateful to God, but not in the way I truly ought to have been, because of the clothes I wore, please don't get me wrong  "nothing can separate us from the love of Christ"(Romans 8:39). Yet that first Sunday of the year, something within me felt unsettled. It wasn’t rebellion, I had really wanted us to dress like a family. It was a quiet nudge in my spirit ,be more intentional. So this time, I spoke up. I asked him to do the needful early , to give the designer enough time. He listened. And when the outfit was ready, it was beautiful. But more than the outfit, what stayed with me was this simple truth: intentionality changes outcomes. That moment opened my eyes. Year in, year out, we all make plans. We dream. We hope. We say, “Thi...

🌿 What Are You Grateful For? 🌿 During one of our Sunday School sessions, a simple but powerful question was asked: “What are you grateful for?” The answers came gently. One person said she was grateful for family, the comfort of calling a sibling and hearing, “How are you doing?” She reflected further and said that some families have only one child, who may be grateful for aunties and uncles to lean on, unlike children in motherless homes who have no one to hold onto at all. As she spoke, my heart began to search inward. I thought about my health. From my teenage years, I have lived with PCOS. It hasn’t always been easy. There were moments of pain, fear, and uncertainty. Yet I am deeply grateful ,because every time a crisis came, God gave me strength to overcome it. I am standing, Still moving forward and hopeful. Thankful for my daughter also who has Micenteric Adenitis and she is still standing too, even with the stress that comes with that also.  Then my pastor shared somethin...

Your New Year Doesn’t Change You-Discovery Does.  Every New Year, every new month, comes with hope. People write resolutions, make plans, and dream of fresh starts. But often, weeks later, we quietly ask ourselves: "Why am I still the same?" The truth is simple: a new calendar doesn’t transform a life; discovering who you are does. A calendar reminds you of the days passing. Resolutions push you to act. But neither tells you your purpose, your calling, or your identity in Christ. Many lifestyle changes fail because they are forced. We try to change habits without addressing the heart. We pursue discipline without clarity. We chase consistency without understanding who we are. That is why motivation fades and growth feels exhausting. Scripture says: “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”  2 Corinthians 5:17 note, it doesn’t say if you enter a new year, or if you write new goals. Transformation begins with...

 🌸 Bloom Where You Are Planted 🌸 There is a quiet wisdom in the phrase “Bloom where you are planted.” It does not deny hardship, nor does it pretend that every soil is kind. Instead, it reminds us that God’s purpose is not suspended because our environment is uncomfortable, unfamiliar, or imperfect. 📖 Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Many times, we pray for change—new places, new seasons, new people—believing that fruitfulness lives somewhere else. But often, God begins His work right where we are, in the place we least expect growth. 📖 Psalm 1:3 “He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season.” Blooming does not mean life is easy. Flowers still face heat, rain, storms, and pressure beneath the soil before beauty ever shows. Growth happens quietly, invisibly, patiently. Sometimes, where you are planted feels like ...
