The "Even If" Principle

- August 28, 2012

This morning I had the opportunity to reflect on the story of the 3 Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, from whom we can draw the "Even If" Principle for our daily Christian living. The first time I learned of this principle was at dinner with my mentor. After I had poured out my heart, he asked if I had my Bible with me, and when I handed it over to him, he turned the pages to the Book of Daniel 3: 16-18 "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown in into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and He will rescue us from your hand O king. But even if He does not , we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." I must confess that I had never even seen that little phrase tucked in there and as he spoke to me, these words then made sense; that in our Christian...

A year later ... Reflecting on my dad's death

- April 25, 2013

I cannot begin to describe the past one year. There are times I sat in my bedroom alone and wept my heart out. There are times I questioned God's wisdom in taking away my dad. There are times I looked at his pictures, and no tear came to my eyes. Then there are those times I could not bear looking at the pictures, especially those we had taken with him. There are times I have wondered what his counsel would have been on a certain matter. There are times I have smiled thinking about him: his jokes, his perspective on life issues, his love and kindness. There are times I have cried silently in public and quickly wiped away the little tear that formed at the edge of my eye. There are times I have wondered if he died peacefully, or how he felt in his passing on, or whether he was ready to go. There are so many times I have missed him. There are times I have blocked my mind from thinking about him. There are times I have wished he wa...

In Him I live and move and have my being

- August 20, 2012

Today is a new day. This is the first post on my blog. It is something I have always wanted to do and I knew that unless I did it today I would never get round to do it. Blogging means I should be able to spare time consistently and write down my thoughts, God's thoughts and reflect on them. For me, writing has always been therapeutic and I am looking forward to writing and writing some more. I have been looking back at my life in the past few months and so much has happened. I have suffered significant losses, hurts and disappointments, and whilst I mourn these, I also do celebrate the newness that each experience has brought into my life. The most significant loss was the loss of my dad on April 25, 2012 to cancer. There was never a time in my life I ever thought I would have a life without papa, and yet here I am, almost 4 months later, and he truly is not there. I think about him a lot, sometimes I cry, I weep, and there were times when there was such a deep pain in my h...
