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

Shame is a thief. It creeps into the hidden places of our hearts, whispering lies that sound like truth. It doesn’t live in the realm of logic, because shame is not about reason. It lives in the shadows of the amygdala, where fear and survival reside. Guilt says, “I made a mistake.”  Shame says, “I am a mistake.” When I first encountered the Loved, Chosen & Free  seminar in May 2020, I discovered that my whole life had been shame-based. That realisation was confronting, but i

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

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

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.”

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

It’s an honour and a privilege to serve you. Whether you know me through art, healing gatherings, or a quiet moment of prayer – thank you for being here. I’ve been reflecting lately on the power of saying yes  to leadership. Not the loud, polished kind. But the sacred, surrendered kind – the kind that whispers, “Here I am, Lord, use me.” Because the truth is, I didn’t say yes out of confidence. I said yes out of surrender. My journey into leadership didn’t begin with a platfo

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

When one chooses healing, the whole family begins to breathe There’s a kind of courage not often celebrated — the kind it takes to stand up to patterns so familiar they almost feel like family. The ones that whisper, “This is just how we are,” even when they’re slowly suffocating us. Some of the chains we carry didn’t begin with us. They were forged in generations past — in households where silence was survival, where anger simmered just beneath the surface, where avoidance m

A reflection on identity, destiny, and the sacred gift of names A name is the greatest connection to our identity and individuality. Some might say it is the most important word in the world to a person. When someone remembers our name, it makes us feel seen, respected, and valued. It leaves a mark. From the moment we are born, we are given a name — an identifier that holds our story. Some of us carry nicknames, while others change their names later in life. However, the comm

Rejecting violence and the celebration of harm I am appalled. Social media, a place meant to connect people, has instead become a breeding ground for mockery and cruelty whenever someone dies. To watch laughing emojis, careless comments, and even celebrations in response to the death of a 31-year-old husband and father is heartbreaking. There is something deeply wrong when a person is not allowed to freely hold or teach a different view without fear of being silenced by viole

Honouring the gift of life by slowing down Sometimes we need the gentle reminder: Deadlines, to-do lists, responsibilities — these things never truly end. The world keeps demanding, and if we let it, our energy and joy will be poured out until there is nothing left. Yet here is a truth worth holding close: You — your body, your soul, your heart — cannot be replaced. Your health, your soul, and your heart matter more than any unfinished task. Last week, Clive forwarded me a vi

A holy posture of heart, anchored in faith and love The way we think shapes the way we live. A Christ-centred mindset is not about striving harder but about surrendering deeper — allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our thoughts, align our attitudes with God’s truth, and guide our steps in love. These seven anchors of mindset remind us that when our minds are renewed in Christ, our lives can bear lasting fruit for His Kingdom. M — Mastery (of Mind & Spirit) Mastery begins wi
