There is a holy hush that falls when truth is spoken without embellishment. Words like these do not invite applause, they invite the soul to bow. The anointing is not a gift lightly worn. It is not a mantle draped over ambition or talent. It is a sacred weight, carried by those willing to be undone before they are ever used. There is a cost that cannot be measured in time, talent, or applause. The anointing is not added to a life, it claims a life. Scripture never presents

Uncovering the hidden narratives that shape your reactions, relationships, and sense of self Have you ever felt like you’re fighting an invisible enemy in your own mind?🤔 Or notice how a single careless word can unravel your entire day?🤔 Many of us find that certain truths we know intellectually just don’t seem to “stick” in our hearts. The reality is that our lives are often shaped by hidden beliefs and past wounds we aren't even aware of. They act as an unseen architect,

An evening invitation to clarity, courage, and faithful perseverance There are moments when the Lord gently calls us to pause, look again, and ask not how fast we are running, but whether we are running the right race and how far can we go. On Thursday, 29 January at 18h30, we start gathering at Trixi’s Creations, Mairangi Bay, to begin Run Your Race Well, an advanced Encounter Group journey designed for those longing to walk with intention, wisdom, and endurance in the seaso

How personal story art becomes a sacred place of healing, faith, and becoming Art has always carried a quiet authority in my life. It reaches into places words cannot always touch, giving shape to emotions that feel too heavy, too tangled, or too tender to explain. When life feels overwhelming and the heart is crowded with unspoken grief, art becomes a gentle anchor, holding space for truth, healing, and peace. Personal story art is not about producing something impressive. I

Receiving what God gives without striving 📖 " Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honour, when you embrace her. " — Proverbs 4:8 (NKJV) Overview Wisdom is not loud. She does not jostle for attention, nor does she parade herself through hurried lives. Wisdom waits to be honoured, cherished, and embraced. In the Hebrew, the word for exalt is sālal , meaning to lift up, to value highly, to make room for. Wisdom rises in response to reverence, not ambition.

A reflection on how what some call weakness, others see as a gift We live in a world quick to label. Too quiet. Too sensitive. Too weird. Too confident. These words echo in our hearts and often leave us wondering if we are somehow broken. Yet the truth is, God never once made a mistake in how He designed us. For every person who says you are too quiet, there is another who treasures your gift of listening. Where some see too sensitive, others see the courage to feel deeply

Walking paths that settle the soul instead of stirring anxiety 📖 " Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

Learning to receive what cannot be earned or manufactured 📖 " For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. " — Proverbs 2:6 (NKJV) Overview This verse begins with a quiet certainty that wisdom does not originate in human effort or experience. Wisdom has a source , and that source is the LORD Himself. Wisdom is not discovered through striving, but received through relationship. God gives wisdom generously because it reflects His heart and His wa

Choosing what Heaven values most in a noisy and competing world 📖"Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding." — Proverbs 4:7 NKJV Overview The book of Proverbs, largely written by King Solomon, was crafted to instruct God’s people in wise living. Wisdom stands at the doorway of every choice, quietly asking to be welcomed first. Wisdom in Scripture is not intelligence, education, or common sense. Biblical wisdom begins wit

A gentle rhythm for returning, again and again, to Christ our centre 📖"Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding." — Proverbs 4:7 NKJV This Wisdom Wheel is not a tool to master, but a place to dwell.

Rather than moving forward in a straight line, this wheel turns gently, reminding us that sp

A sacred reflection on faith, healing, courage, and the quiet victories that carried me through As the final hours of 2025 settle gently into stillness, I pause, not to rush into what is next, but to honour what has been. This year did not arrive with loud triumphs or easy resolutions. It unfolded slowly, faithfully, often quietly, like a tapestry woven thread by thread in places only God and I could see. 2025 was not a year of avoidance. It was a year of facing. Facing truth

A visual map of grace, mercy, and calling shaped by love and woven together in Christ There comes a moment in every faith journey when we stop asking, “What should I do?🤔” and begin asking, “What has God already placed within me?🤔” The Scriptures remind us that calling is not something we manufacture through effort or ambition. It is something we receive , steward, and grow into through obedience and surrender. 📖 " Having then gifts differing according to the grace that i

A Gentle Reckoning of Faithfulness, Courage, Creativity, and Return Last year didn't just show me how much I could produce. It revealed where I chose to remain faithful and where God quietly invited me to deeper alignment. Where I Showed Up Consistently I showed up in writing. Here, truth, prayer, and reflection found their voice. I also committed to Speakers Tribe, practising speaking and leadership even when my confidence wavered. I chose courage over comfort, presence over
