HOW TO BREAK PATTERNS (3)

I had a struggle in my mind whether to be vulnerable with my friend or not. I was at a point where I knew I had to make great financial decisions to live a great life. I did not want to appear like I did not know what I was doing. I eventually told myself that I was better off […]

HOW TO BREAK PATTERNS (2)

I have a dear brother who is also a pastor. I would say to him that “Every time we talk, prejudices are shattered and light comes for things I need to get done. Passion is also reignited”. We would share on our ministry journey and every time I am done speaking with him, I just have an unusual hunger to […]

MY PHONE COULD NOT STAY SILENT

I had sent a text message to a very important personality- a father in the faith. I knew he would either call back or send a message in return. My phone would most times be placed on silent mode.

The moment we walked in, I knew there was an atmosphere that has been created in that particular room. […]

EVEN RIVERS NEED THE RAIN

As we passed by the bridge that was at the border to our town, Irewamiri said, “Wow, the water level has risen”. I responded that “It is because it has been raining”. When it rains, the rivers overflow. Naturally, the rain makes a lot of difference. The rain impacts the soil and causes dry land to become fertile ground. The […]

MAMA IS CALLING YOU (Lessons about Taking Life Seriously)

I was working in the library when Olive came to the door and said, “Daddy, Mama is Calling you”. I was almost responding when it occurred to me that Olive was most likely playing with me. I sat back. Olive ran off. Some minutes later, I had reasons to step out of the library so I asked Irewamiri whether she […]
