Finding your passion

Passion! We live during a time when the saying ‘Nothing new under the sun’ rings very true. Finding your passion… Is this still even a thing? Do people still lead with passion? Or is passion overrated? Is it just another buzzword? How much has already been written about this? A lot right? How many ‘Finding your passion’ tests are out there? A lot right? How many have you taken? How many books do you have that ...

You are not alone in your depression

I was going to title this post something like ‘You are not alone’, but ended up adding ‘in your depression’ because I feel it is high time we talked about depression loudly and in open spaces. No more talking about it as if it doesn’t exist, as if it is all in someone’s head! No more telling people to grow up or snap out of it! One of my favourite stories in the bible is the story of Elijah and the ...

Sowing dreams

I honestly did not know what to title this one. I saw someone tweet that ‘Tshimo ga e lengwe ka loleme’ and I was intrigued.

My friend is moving to another province in a few months and we were chatting about how much we would visit each other.

Learning to ask

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. James 4:2 It had been close to a month without the female toilets near us having seat sanitizers. I saw and greeted the cleaning lady more than twice a day. I thought of ...

That the works of God should be revealed

Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the ...
