In 2012, on the brink of entering university but with no money to finance my studies, I applied for three national scholarships. I know what you are probably thinking: “Yes, she definitely got one!” Sorry to disappoint you, nope I didn’t! I got shortlisted for one scholarship and felt certain that this was the way…
In preparing for God’s visions for our lives for the year ahead, my church Transformation Church (TC), has undertaken a 21-Day of Fasting. In beginning my journey, I prayed and randomly selected a Bible App plan about vision to guide me on my journey. Day 1 gave the story of the 12 Israelites who were…

In fact, if you think about it, the man generally feared is the one who metes out the judgement barely promised. He is the one who generally is considered deadly because his actions line…
Recently, I went on a work trip. Part of the trip took us to Y.S. Falls where I tried 5 ziplines for the first time. Like any first experience of that active nature, I didn’t quite know how to feel but as the experience continued, I picked up a couple lessons on the way. Before…

April 16 was my last day as a 23-year old. I’ve been very contemplative as I review the year that I have gone through. The highs, the lows and the in-betweens. As usual, I’ve learnt a few lessons that I want to share. Laughter and smiles are important: Life will never be fulfilling unless you remember…
In July of 2010, this song rang throughout an auditorium filled with youngsters full of dreams as they headed on to 6th form and university. As 2016 came to a close, the chorus of this song played repeatedly in my head. “When you put your heart in it, it can take you anywhere…” This is…
