Patterns in Nature Almost everything in nature follows a pattern. Most of these patterns are way too complicated for us to understand. However, some of the simpler ones, the ones that we can see for ourselves, can help us learn more about the world around us. God has left us these patterns to reveal to…
Seasons
I remember growing up and my parents would say things like, “it’ll happen when you least expect it,” or, “God will never leave you nor forsake you.” These statements are true in theory but when it comes to our human experience, practicing and living in contentment to these truths can be different. We see our…
The Least Of These
My dad is 60, and my mum is 58. For them, this means that their musical consumption peak occurred during the late 70s and early 80s. For me, this meant that while I was growing up, the sabbath morning drive to church consisted of a lot of Heritage Singers, Amy Grant and David Meece CDs.…
An Open Letter To My Daughter
My little love, Every parent hopes and dream things for their child. Some dream of possible careers, some of adventures, some spouses. I can’t really picture you beyond just a few years ahead of where you are now – and I don’t really want to. Time goes so quickly; I don’t need to rush…
Secret Identity
Have you ever thought what it’d be like to have a secret identity? I certainly have. I always wondered what life would be like being a superhero. Saving the world and then secretly vanishing away into an alter ego living out a normal life where colleagues and friends would be concerned about where all my…
Where Am I From?
Where am I from? This question has troubled many people over generations, for Christians, the answer seems obvious.

I had studied several high-end designers and this made me justify…

Are You Wearing Someone Else’s Jumper?
I remember when I was 10, in Year 4 at school, there was a cool kid in our class. Like every cool kid, most of the boys wanted to be like him and most of the girls had a crush on him. He was good at everything he did. I don’t remember the sequence of…
Do You Have An Alter Ego?
This month’s theme of identity got me thinking about the alter ego in Taylor Swift’s new music video ‘The Man.’ The video fascinated me and I have to admit I have now watched it four times. Swift references numerous examples of sexism and misogyny in society as the main character (Tyler Swift) in the video…
