The Fast ended and life continued. I was tired of trying so hard to please my manager. I'd hit bottom, there was no further to fall. Something snapped and suddenly?I wasn't going to try so hard any more. Standing at the bus stop one morning, I had a brief conversation with God in which I expressed my?frustration. Then I had a light bulb moment, I?was reminded that?my life is not about me it's all about God and His purposes to perform, even when it made no sense to me.... Read more

The Daniel Fast and Captain Haddock

For some Easter is over and done with, for me, it is a recurring event. I can't get enough of it. Like a thunderous crescendo it sets my heart pumping faster with excitement. The Hosannas as Jesus rides on a donkey, to the anguish in the garden of Gethsemane; the desertion and loneliness of the cross, the deepest darkest hell and finally Jesus bursting forth in triumph over death on the 3rd day - Life changing! Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth ? ?6 Who, being in very nature God, did... Read more

Mich turned 8 today. He wants a toy with batteries, one that he can connect to electricity - hint hint. As a little boy making every effort to fit into a new culture and constantly finding himself at a loss, I give him the credit. He is saying ?I'm growing. I need more challenge. These toys were fun but now, they don't cut it'. It's all about the Nintendo DS or something similar. Mich is fun! Especially when he starts throwing those unexpected questions; Mich: Daddy, does a fish have a... Read more

Dear SLs', Every so often you come to mind, like a butterfly settling on a flower. I mean, I can be there reading a book or going about my crazy life and then boom! You are on my mind. Did I say this happens often' because it does. I yearn to say so much but I'm afraid it might spill out the wrong way. My thoughts towards you get tender with each passing day. I prayed for you yesterday. I was listening to a sermon in church when you floated into my mind. I remembered getting home one... Read more

6:20a.m: I unlock the door. The morning chill hits me?- brrrrrr! It's dark outside.

I trot to the bus stop. 6:25a.m the bus rolls up, I step in, say good morning to the bus driver while I swipe my card. Beep! Good! I still have some units.

Just when I begun questioning, things got better and this is how. Everyday I got on the bus and?worried helplessly about my children: Would they be okay' Would be they be loved and taken care of' Would Amani heal from her illness' Would I get back in time to pick them up' My bible study one morning stated it this way : "Consider the lilies of the field" ? they grow where they are put. Many of us refuse to grow where we are put, consequently we take root nowhere. Jesus says that if we obey... Read more

The wait was excruciating, one week seemed like a month and oh! how the days dragged as I waited for the phone call. Every time my phone rung my heart raced until finally there was an email.
