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,

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

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 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

When I first picked up a paintbrush, I believed that I couldn't paint and I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. I just knew I needed a way to express the storm inside me. Art became my refuge, a place where my heart could speak without words. Over time, I discovered that creating spiritually inspired creations wasn’t just about making something beautiful. It was about healing, about connecting with something deeper, something sacred. And that’s what I want to share with you t

When life feels heavy, and the weight of emotional wounds presses down, where do we turn? For me, the answer has often been found in the gentle embrace of others - in the shared stories, the collective sighs, and the creative sparks that ignite when hearts come together. Healing in communities is not just a concept; it’s a lifeline. It’s a way to rebuild, to find strength, and to transform pain into purpose. I want to take you on a journey through the power of healing in comm

Living the Kingdom Culture of Kindness, Courtesy, and Consecrated Responses "Be careful how you handle any soul in the flesh; you cannot see their rank in the spirit. The one you belittle may be a gatekeeper of your tomorrow—an unseen throne in God’s courts. Walk in honour, for heaven hears your tone before the world sees your deed. — Steve De’lano Garcia ”   Those words stir something deep in me — not fear, but reverence. A holy awareness that every person I encounter bears

I never imagined that picking up a paintbrush or moulding clay could change my life. But here I am, sharing how artistic healing practices have transformed my emotional landscape in ways I never thought possible. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain lost in your feelings, this might be the gentle nudge you need. Artistic healing isn’t about creating a masterpiece. It’s about expressing what words can’t capture. It’s messy, raw, and deeply personal. And it’s

Rewriting our relationships in Christ’s love By the time I was six, I had already concluded that relationships would not last. After being the “new kid on the block” five times before age six, the pattern was painfully set. Thirteen schools and thirty-four homes by the time I reached eighteen only helped to cement this judgment about life and people. This belief—that relationships don’t last—became a hidden blueprint for my adult life. It led me to brace for rejection, to wit

The Missing Piece in Our Health Journey Many of us know the frustration of living with chronic illness. We face unexplained symptoms, receive diagnoses with no apparent cure, and often discover that, for all its incredible value, modern medicine does not always offer answers or cures. We pray for healing and follow doctors' orders, yet the sickness lingers, urging us to wonder what we might be missing. Dr Henry Wright's life work reveals a profound truth: there is an often-ov

A gentle revelation of fear exchanged for God’s design From the time we are small, labels can cling to us like invisible cloaks. Perhaps you were called “the shy one” at school, or quietly compared to a louder sibling. At first, these words might seem harmless. Yet over time, they take root and begin shaping the way we see ourselves. Shyness becomes a cage, a false identity stitched into our story. I know this well, because I once believed that was who I was. The “quiet one.”

Healing is a journey we often take alone, but what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if the path to emotional and spiritual restoration was something we walked together, hand in hand, through shared experiences and creative expression? I’ve found that when we come together as a community, something magical happens. The wounds we carry begin to soften, and a new sense of unity emerges. This is the heart of collective healing methods, a powerful way to mend not just oursel

A gentle unpeeling: discovering the canvas God painted before the world began For decades, I believed I was an introvert. I wore the label of “shy,” carrying social anxiety like an invisible cloak. It felt like part of my personality — something permanent. Yet one day, I heard a statement that stopped me in my tracks: “If you’re painfully shy, it would behove you to ask the Holy Spirit if that is an inner healing issue.” So I asked. Holy Spirit, in His gentleness, began to pe

There’s something deeply comforting about holding a book filled with memories you’ve carefully gathered over time. It’s not just about photos; it’s about the stories, the emotions, and the moments that shaped us. I’ve found that creating personalised photo collections is more than a hobby - it’s a way to heal, to reflect, and to celebrate life’s beautiful imperfections. When life feels overwhelming, flipping through those pages can feel like a warm hug from the past. The Powe

I never thought art could be a sanctuary until I found myself drowning in a sea of emotions I couldn’t quite name. Have you ever felt that way? 🤔Like your heart is carrying a weight too heavy to bear, but words just don’t cut it? 🤔That’s where healing through creative arts stepped in for me. It wasn’t just about painting or drawing; it was about unlocking a part of myself I didn’t know needed saving. Why Healing Through Creative Arts Matters When life gets messy, sometimes

A prophetic blessing of freedom and childlike delight Not long ago, a prophetic word was spoken over me. It began with something as...

There is a melody that often rises up in my heart:🎼 “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and they are safe.”  🎶 It’s more than a song; it is Scripture woven into music, anchoring me when life feels overwhelming. 📖 “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.” — Proverbs 18:10 (NKJV) The Tower That Holds Us Secure We all seek safety. Some of us try to find it in relationships, finances, routines, or control. Ye

The unseen inheritance of spiritual compromise When my husband and I chose our wedding date — 31 October 1992 — we were very intentional. We wanted a day unshared by birthdays or other special events, a date that would belong solely to us. Back then, Halloween hadn’t yet reached South African shores, so the idea of our anniversary clashing with it never crossed our minds. Three decades later, it still grieves me that this day, sacred to us as a celebration of covenant love, i

Healing is a journey we often think of as deeply personal. But what if I told you that healing can be so much more when it happens within a community? 🤔 When we come together, sharing our stories, our pain and our hopes, something magical unfolds. It’s not just about mending wounds alone; it’s about restoration that lifts everyone involved. I’ve walked this path, and I want to share what I’ve learned about the power of healing in communities.
