We start off on our knees, then we slowly learn to walk and eventually we have the strength and skill to run. Isn’t it much like that in the rest of our lives too? We start out as kids seeing the world in all its beauty, peacefully unaware of the evil it holds, then we...

Move Forward
Standing in front of the tower with the glass windows, looking up at the nineteen floors, your breathing is deep, and you can feel your heartbeat in your throat. You have studied hard, slept little and gave up your social life and now this is it, you are about to start the job of your...

The Decoy
Some days life just doesn’t make sense. We find ourselves at the end of a hard and long fight, where we sit with victory in our hands, but somehow still feel defeated. Sometimes we get to the finish line and realise that we have lost so much more then what we were originally fighting to...

Be Still
Have you ever sat on a beach alone, hearing the waves, feeling the breeze and in the quietness, you feel God? For me, when in nature, I experience and hear God in a very special way. In our backyard we have a very big tree and to me, it is a sign of life. When...
