Letters to the Beloved

She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness. Proverbs 31:26 NKJV We gather around the kitchen counter. Freshly washed little hands emerge themselves fully into the various ingredients in the mixing bowl. In a matter of minutes the separate ingredients will be combined to form a unit; be […]

I’m sure you can relate… Most of us have a person, perhaps more than one, who have caused us pain on numerous occasions. I was recently faced with adrenal fatigue again. I realised that it isn’t enough just to “cope”. For the underlying stress jumps up when we least expect, or when we need to

For many years the taskmasters in Egypt drove the children of Yah to perform beyond their capacity. Many died under the strict rod of Pharaoh. The Egyptians had no mercy towards the children of Abba, and their expectations towards them were absolute excellence. They were slaves to the system of perfection. In their affliction and

Our journey into parenting has been far from smooth and easy. I vividly remember every minute of labour with our oldest little love. It was beyond excruciating – so many complications. Miraculously our daughter was born after 18 exhausting hours of active labour and man-made interventions. I beheld her sweet darling face. It was marked

Wait… A word void of our complete comprehension. Wait entails a prominent part called hope. For to wait one must have an expectation, a firm hope. Oh my soul waits for You more than the watchmen waits for the morning, the psalmist exclaimed. A few months after I surrendered my life to Yeshua, He lead

I never knew the amount of time it took for Oak trees to grow, from an acorn to a mighty oak. It requires a copious amount of patience and more time than this instant age can possibly bare. We once lived in a house where a stupendous oak tree cast a shadow over the entire

The dead of night in a prison cell seems to be much darker than in most other places. Two men sat next to each other awestruck and astonished by the past 24 hours’ events. Their wounds formed crimson creeks over their wearied bodies, mapping the pathways of the brutal rods of the Romans. It was
