Happy 26th Anniversary to Us

“ Jesus came  and stood among them and said,  Peace be with you “   — John 20:19 These are the words Jesus said to his disciples when He first appeared to them after resurrection. The disciples were gathered behind locked doors.  Fear had consumed them. Their hearts were troubled, their minds restless, and their future uncertain. The One they loved had been crucified. The world around them mocked their hope and silenced their faith. They felt abandoned, afraid, isolated, and lost. And then—Jesus came. Not after the storm ended. Not after they became strong again. Not after they figured everything out. He entered right into their fear, stood in the middle of their chaos, and spoke the very words their weary souls needed: “Peace be with you.” What is peace? Peace is not a life without storms. Peace is the presence of God within the storm.  It is the calm assurance that even when everything around us is shaking, God is still near. It is resting in Hi...

Hard days

" Sometimes we need hard days to know who is family, who is friend, who is a partner and who is just a passenger in our lives. " Sometimes it takes a hard day, one that strips away comfort and certainty, to reveal what truly surrounds you. In those moments, when you are not at your best, when you have nothing to offer but your vulnerability, you begin to see clearly. You notice who leans in, who stays present, who offers quiet support without needing anything in return. And just as clearly, you see who steps back, who fades, who was only there when it was easy. It can be a painful kind of clarity, but also a necessary one. Because not everyone who walks beside you is meant to journey with you deeply. Some are temporary, some are seasonal, and some are simply passing through. And that doesn’t always mean they are bad, it just means they were never meant to hold a permanent place in your life. Hard days don’t just test your strength, they reveal your circle. They show you where...

A recap of 2025

Image
A Year of Uncertainty, Unexpected, Unlearning, but Unending Grace As we wrap up 2025 and are ready to welcome 2026, I want to reflect on how this year was to me.  This year was a season of unlearning. I unlearned reliance on my own strength, the need for constant approval, and the illusions I once held about what support and friendship should look like. It was a year that challenged my mind, stretched my heart, and tested my endurance. Yet, through it all, I experienced the grace and faithfulness of God in ways I had never known before. There were seasons of confusion, loss, and disappointment. Circumstances shifted suddenly, familiar patterns broke apart, and the structures I relied on seemed to dissolve. It felt as though the ground beneath me was being rearranged, and I had no control over the timing or direction of the changes. In moments like these, it was easy to feel discouraged or question the purpose of the struggle. But looking back, I see that what felt like coll...

Death

When Death Came Close Death, I saw you standing near, I felt your touch, cold and clear. You took me from the ones I knew, From those I loved, from all that’s true. You showed me things I couldn’t see, How much someone can mean to me. We often don’t appreciate Until it’s gone, it’s just too late. For some, the loss can’t be replaced, A missing piece forever faced. For others, it’s a kind of gain, A break from ties that once felt chained. A freedom, a control they find, A different life, a clearer mind. For some, it’s work, a daily grind, For others, it’s new life designed. But me—I lost all I held dear,  all that’s near. I lost my home and became an orphan  You were the thread that kept us close, Now everything I loved feels lost. Time moves on, but I still grieve, No words can show the pain I weave. No one can truly understand The weight I carry in my hands. They say, “He’s old, he’s free of pain, In a better place, don’t  feel the strain....

Happy 21st Birthday to my First Born

  21 years ago, on this day, I became a mom. Surrounded by lots of happiness and dreams, you came into this world, even though I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on in my world. The only thing I knew was that I was no longer just a daughter, wife, or sister, but I was promoted to one of the best roles in this world - a mother. At that young age, I wasn’t sure if I fully understood just   how blessed and privileged I was that God chose me to become a mom, and moreover I had been entrusted with the incredible privilege and responsibility of being a mother. . From that day onwards, we started a new journey. We grew and learned side by side. You make me proud in many ways, and I love watching you grow into the beautiful, strong young lady you have become. Today, you are not just my daughter, but also my sister, my motivator, my best friend - someone who knows me well and with whom I can share anything. . Your presence in my life is a constant reminder of God’s blessings. You’v...
