  • Are we losing the battle?

    Everyday we go through many battles. Some are bigger than others. Some are minor while others are major. Some are internal and some are external.

  • Driving through heavy traffic

    Every Monday, I start my week by driving roughly 45 minutes to work. After work, the same process repeats, another 45 minutes drive before I reach home. This cycle continues throughout the weekdays from Monday to Friday.

  • Mirrors

    Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? This famous quote from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs often reflects our most common use of a mirror: to see ourselves (with a tinge of vanity!). We would all agree that being presentable is definitely more appealing than the opposite.

  • The new normal

    With the announcement that New Zealand was at Level 3 alert for covid-19, then going into Level 4 lockdown in 48 hours not too many weeks ago, all that was normal was thrown topsy-turvy. Many weeks into it now, we have our own new normal.

  • Growth is spelt TROUBLE

    Back when I was a youth, I remembered being baffled by a nearby youth ministry which was plagued with problems.

  • I'm tired, if only, thank God?

    Just a few weeks into the new year and I’m tired.

  • The scary new

    This new year, I enter a new phase in life. After completing my Graduate Diploma in Teaching(Primary) last year, I will now embark on my journey as a primary school teacher.

  • The missing birthday boy

    Christmas is around the corner! Heaps of Christmas decorations and delicacies are already on sale. Christmas stockings, Santa hats, Christmas trees full of ornaments and lights, candy canes, reindeer chocolates, jingle bells and not forgetting Christmas presents!

  • ‘No’ again

    My three year old has been finding it hard to take ‘no' as an answer. We've been trying to let him know that when he asks for something, he needs to be ready for the answer to either be ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

  • Hanging

    The moment in life when you have started something but have not yet reached your destination - hanging. Or a time when you feel you are getting nowhere - hanging. Or the place between receiving a promise and seeing the fulfillment of it - hanging, Hanging, HANGING!
