ADMISSION WAHALA – Another life phase

Posted on May 20, 2021

It’s another major milestone season for our first daughter – transitioning from Primary to Secondary School. So last week, she wrote yet another secondary school entrance examination that lasted for 5 hours! Ordinarily, it should have been a stressful day for us all, but we turned it into a memorable one.

QUIET ASSURANCE – YES JESUS LOVES ME

Posted on October 10, 2017

Yes Jesus loves me! Yes Jesus loves me!! Yes Jesus loves me!!! The Bible tells me so…. Tears filled my eyes and flowed freely as I sang this song last night while trying unsuccessfully to rock my baby to sleep. The song served as lullaby as I held my son’s restless body close to my heart, pacing the length of my bedroom with great hope that he will doze off soon enough to rest my tired body.
