Lilies of the field
As I started this new year, I kept on feeling prompted to think about the scripture about the lilies of the field. In Matthew 6:28 – 29 Jesus said to the people that they didn’t need to worry about their clothing, but that they should look at the lilies of the field which blooms without…

Abundance
When we came to New Zealand in 2020, I didn’t know what my purpose was. I distinctly remember feeling the Holy Spirit prompting me to write. I began writing a book about my life starting with writing my name and the meaning thereof, as a starting point to simply start. As I wrote about my…

Seeing clearly
“Jesus sent him away, saying, “Don’t go back into the village on your way home.”” Mark 8:26 NLT The story about Jesus healing the blind man in Bethsaida is said to have been used by Jesus to demonstrate the spiritual blindness of the disciples.

Not abandoned
I like watching short videos about abandoned houses. I find it interesting to see that many are abandoned while the furniture is still inside. It gives you a glimpse into the lives of the occupants. I like to guess why they have left so many things behind. As I watched one such video, I felt…

There’s a song in your heart
In 2021 I wrote a song called “There’s a song in your heart”. I was thinking of ways to inspire my piano students to start composing their own melodies and it just popped inside my head. As I was praying about what my next post should be, the song came to my mind again. Not…

On the sideline
Definitions of being sidelined are: “cause (a player) to be unable to play in a team or game” and “remove from the centre of activity or attention; place in a less influential position.” (reference: Oxford Languages) We are called to work together as one body of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 12:12 it says, “The human…

Made with a purpose
Everybody has an image of themselves when they are all grown up. For me it changed with every season of my life. First I dreamt about being a ballerina. I would put on my pink socks and dance on tippy toes throughout my grandmother’s lounge. The next time I visited I thought of myself as…
