Leading up to my church’s Christmas production, there was a part, in the song that I was leading, that I completely ignored at every rehearsal. It was already a challenging song to begin with so I didn’t want to add more fuel to the fire I was already walking into. And I just couldn't reason [...]
Psalm 69
In 2015, I made the decision to follow Jesus. I had been led in a prayer of salvation before, but this time it wasn't fueled by a fear of going to hell. It wasn't fueled by trying to do everything right so that He would spare me His wrath. It was in response to who [...]
Act VI
"It feels like we're just not getting married because you know that I'm not going anywhere. You know I want to be with you and I have no real desire to start again with someone new. So you're just hoping I'll stick around until you finally have achieved everything you want, and then you'll consider [...]
Still Dancing
“I'm pulling on joy from Heaven's reserveHe’s stored up enough for every winter I’m servedI’m seeing beyond my circumstanceThis joy that I have is my inheritanceJoy, this is the joy of the Lord” At the end of 2021 I began conversations with the pastoral team at Hillsong College for my return in January of 2022.

Here
“’Come,’ He said” - Matthew 14:29 (NIV) I wrote a blog on the 9th of August 2019, about this scripture and how the word ‘come’ here in Greek also means ‘grow.’ And that’s what I kept doing. Getting out of the boat and trusting God that as I walked on the water towards Him, I would [...]
The Year of The Lord’s Favour
I've been fighting the urge to say something because I've felt like it's not my place. Like who am I to even offer my opinion? But I somewhat feel responsible, as someone who advocates for safe spaces so publicly, to say something. So I suppose Sis Unathi's conversation on Instagram yesterday was the boost of [...]
Act V
"Gosh, you're so uptight. This is probably why your mom left you and your dad and stepmom were more than willing to leave you while they went on holiday with their real family." Those were the words said to 12 year old me by one of my then best friends after she had held me [...]
Selah
"You know my paceYet you never grow tired of walking beside me No matter how longNo matter how farEven when I doubtEven when it looks like I won't make it You take my hand and remind meI will live and not die" I recently wrote these lyrics on my way to work. I had just [...]
Act IV
In the middle of my grade 9 year, during my school holidays, I received an sms from my dad saying he wanted to speak to me. I wasn't really stressed becuase that's generally how my dad did things. I'd always get an sms or an email, because we didn't have a very open enough relationship [...]
Unnamed
In February 1997, my mother had to take her car in for a service. She dropped it off in the morning, as always, and one of their drivers would have to take her to work. On their way, a speeding taxi skipped a red traffic light and hit the car on the passenger's side, where [...]
