Troubles of an extrovert Christian with a disability

Troubles of an extrovert Christian with a disability

Friendships are hard and complicated things that are an essential part of life. I have trouble defining what a friendship is. Although, friendships can be filled with fun, laughter, love and life-giving conversations..

  • Our identity defines who we are but it depends on interests

    If people want to become celebrities, they devote themselves to what they will look like—the most handsome or most beautiful person on the planet—whether they want to be dancers, singers, et cetera.

  • Stretching for the truth!

    Stiffening joints and strained muscles are not just for the elderly. Athletes inflict a tremendous amount of pressure on their bodies in order to perform.

  • You’re doing great

    Some of you may have read my story that was published a few weeks ago, but for most of you, this may be the first time reading what I write.

  • Spring halloween and wedding season

    As October is coming to an end, I notice my garden is coming to life. A lot of flowers (a lot of weeds) and berries are being pollinated and my vegetables are thriving. It gives me a different vibe for halloween compared to my northern hemisphere friends, which as we know is autumn, with cool weather and pumpkin spice lattes (yum).

  • Disable or God abled?

    So long as there have been people on this earth, there have been people with disabilities and impairments. From Moses having a stutter in the old testament to the blind and lame beggars in the new testament.

  • “Do not worry”: how to apply Jesus’ words in a pandemic

    This past week I had the privilege of preaching to my new church. There is nothing quite like preaching “cold”, that is, preaching to a new place without knowing the people.

  • Low self-esteem is healthy for you

    Life doesn’t always go according to plan.

  • New year, new me

    I’m certain we have all heard people say, “new year, new me”. We make a list of goals to achieve in the new year: I’m going to be fitter, more productive, save more money, spend more time in God’s presence. These are some common new year resolutions.

  • Virtual high

    In New Zealand, we are currently deliberating the contentious cannabis referendum – to vote YES or NO? To legalise, or not to legalise? Regardless of where your conscious allows you to vote, there is another, a more lucrative drug currently on the market. 

  • Before I was a racist, I was a sinner

    Taken by storm, an outcry in rebellion to a history of oppression is heard throughout the world yearning for rectification. Statues pulled down. Names changed. History rewritten.

  • Healing Waters

    One of the things that I’ve learnt about myself over the years is just how much I love water.
