Zechariah 7: 3b “Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?” In Zechariah chapter 7, we see a few of the Jews had been sent by others to ask whether they should continue to mourn and fast in remembrance of the destruction of the temple. At this point... Continue Reading →
“I found something vintage”. Finding something vintage would be nice but nope, not in my case. Let me be more specific “I found something vintage in my son’s schoolbag”. This happened towards the end of school year last year in December. He is a teenager now so I thought I could trust him with ensuring... Continue Reading →
As I read Mathew 14, what stood out to me and what I wanted to share did not end up in this post. As I started to write I ended up focusing on Herod. A little atypical isn’t it to keep Herod as the main focus of a lesson. God has a way of teaching... Continue Reading →

We talked about the two and how we as believers are to influence the world around us. When Jesus calls us... Continue Reading →
Joshua was God's chosen servant to lead the people of Israel into the promised land after Moses' death. This story can be found in Joshua 1:1-9. Joshua was the son of Nun born as Hosea into the tribe of Ephraim. Hosea means 'salvation'. It was Moses who later gives him the name Joshua (Num 13:16),... Continue Reading →
Between my husband and me, although I take longer than him to get ready to go somewhere, I usually am ready before him. He has the tendency to start getting ready 5 mins prior to the time we have to leave. Are you ready? This is a question you will find me asking my husband... Continue Reading →
