• The Family Investment

  “Dad? Would you please help me with my homework?” “Your Mum will help you with that. I am busy now,” as he turns another page of the newspaper. “Son, I am reading something important. I will get to you when I am done!” Father adds, to quash the guilt welling up inside. Television on and…

• Finding Freedom

  Amelia loves approval – other people’s approval.  She smiles and delights in it.  She turns eighteen today and slices her cake as instructed, by her Mum.  Amelia deliberately wedges the cake, cutting more slices for her siblings, watching her domineering mother from the corner of her eye.  She carries on, awaiting further instruction.  Mother smiles. …

• Ripples of change

  Quiet time in the garden.  Sitting alone under a gentle breeze, ready to pray.  Mornings are so beautiful.  My joints stiff as I shift on the bench.  With legs outstretched, the pain eases.  Back to focus on prayer and worship.  The songs play out in my mind, with the right words for the prayers God…

• Waiting with a microwave mindset

  I love antiques. I would love to collect as many as possible. But what would I do with all of them? Not sure. Then again, as I start a new journey of ‘frugal living’ it is probably best to love antiques from a distance. Antiques. If I had a gramophone player, I would have to…

• Highway or Hallway

  The waiting game – waiting to hear back from an interviewer, your bank on that mortgage, school about acceptance – none of it is ever easy.  Waiting.  Patience is not my strong point but something I have asked God to help me out. We are waiting on the results of our General Election, the biggest…

• A new beginning for Kenya

  Our prayer is that every man, woman and child takes time to review God’s Word – Proverbs 6:16-19. Change starts with a people standing on principle. The only set of principles we can rely on are found in God’s Word.

• Mending the family

  Sunrise is only minutes away and Budu’s eyes flicker and open. He gazes across the bed and straining through the shadows, to catches a glimpse of his wife’s sleeping form. Restless, he turns to his wife, reaches out to her and stops short of touching her, wondering, where and how should I touch her.

• Faking It

  Like the lone passenger at a foreign airport, searching for their luggage and picking the same bag, that is clearly not yours, you return it hoping no one noticed. Compromise is no longer an option.

• Wrecking the family

  Iron-Mama Wana stepped out into the rising sun, stomping her way down the apartment block stairs, oblivious of the clamour upsetting her neighbours. The Guard at the gate watched her, silently sighing to himself, as his least favourite boss ambled her way toward him. She made a mental note about moving to apartments with a…

  2 Corinthians 13:9  For we are glad when we are weak and You are strong.  Your restoration is what we pray for. Nehemiah – what a character!  Cool, calm, collected, obedient (to God and king), prayerful and willing to stand in your weakness (true self) before God, as He waited on God.  Or was he? …
