Battle Plan for 2021

A post about warfare is probably not what you want to read about at the start of the year seeing as we are all still buying 2021 year planners, and the ink has barely dried on our freshly designed vision boards/10 year plans 🙂 But I sense very strongly within me that for us to … Continue reading Battle Plan for 2021 →

The Offer of a Lifetime

09.01.2021. We've had 9 days to try on 2021; the fit is not quite right - it chafes in places but we can't return it or ask for a refund. As we dip tentative toes into the year, I am reminded of lines from Chris Tomlin's song 'Whom Shall I Fear' "I know who goes … Continue reading The Offer of a Lifetime →

When Life Empties You Out…

2020. Rolls nicely off the tongue when you say it doesn’t it? But as we hurtle towards the final days of the year, I think it's safe to say that this year has left a bitter taste in the mouths of individuals and nations. Many of us started 2020 with dream jobs but are ending … Continue reading When Life Empties You Out… →

Differently Able: Tilly’s Story of Resilience

For our first interview in the ‘Overcomers Series’, we’re having a chat with Tilly Awolola. Tilly is a writer, passionate mental health advocate and speaker. Although I knew a little bit about Tilly and her story from conversations with mutual friends, I didn’t quite know the extent of the traumatic journey she has been on. … Continue reading Differently Able: Tilly’s Story of Resilience →

Day 30: Thankful for the Future

Hey!!! See what you just did there? You made it to the end of November! 30 solid days of breathing, moving, sleeping, waking and most importantly, praising! Feel free to park at this sentence and burst out in worship because I tell you, thousands stopped breathing at some point over the last 30 days. Wiggle … Continue reading Day 30: Thankful for the Future →

Day 29: Thankful for Rest

Rest. Hard to come by at times in our hyper-connected, tech-driven and 'Zoomed-out' world. Every one is on a race to arrive somewhere, be somebody and achieve something of worth. But we get out of balance when we forget that God hardwired ambition AND rest into the human race. Even God, the ultimate go-getter and … Continue reading Day 29: Thankful for Rest →

Day 28: Thankful for Divine Correction

''My dear child, don’t shrug off God’s discipline, but don’t be crushed by it either.It’s the child He loves that He disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects. God is educating you; that’s why you must never drop out. He’s treating you as dear children." (Hebrews 12:6,7 MSG) There have been many instances this year where … Continue reading Day 28: Thankful for Divine Correction →

Day 27: Thankful for Family

Family. Such a loaded word. For some, it stirs up images of light-hearted jesting, love and harmony. For others, it conjures up nightmares of abuse, misery and fear. Family. One of the very few things about our lives that we don't get a say in but have to live with. Although being part of a … Continue reading Day 27: Thankful for Family →

Day 26: Thankful for Challenges

If Goliath hadn't come out roaring and spitting out threats, David might have been confined to the backside of history as a good shepherd boy. If Nebuchadnezzar hadn't issued his threats, we wouldn't have discovered the dangerous boldness hiding inside the scrawny teenage bodies of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. If Moses hadn't been forced to … Continue reading Day 26: Thankful for Challenges →

Day 25: Thankful for Unanswered Prayers

You might have clicked on this post wondering why in the world we would be thanking God for unanswered prayers. Unfortunately, years of imbalanced theology have led us to think that God HAS to give us everything we want. We tend to forget that every 'no' from God is a 'yes' to a bigger and … Continue reading Day 25: Thankful for Unanswered Prayers →
