This conversation has been shared with permission from the Reader. I have tried to simplify our correspondence as much as possible, as it was a rather lengthy chat as I tried to get to the crux of the matter. I hope you are blessed as you read. Feel […]

Something has been troubling me for a while now. I don’t really know how to put it in words, but I’ll try. A book I am reading and hoping to review by F. Remy Diederich, called “Broken Trust”, has also motivated me to look deeper into this. There […]
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits” (Matt 7:15-16). We have this stark warning from Jesus in Scripture, but it is amazing how few of us take heed of this. The […]
A while back, I said to myself, “Truly, God is not enough…” What was I doing? I was washing the dishes. A very simple task that was filling me with much joy and satisfaction at the time, and I felt a revelation coming on… But this is something […]
Hey, y’all. It’s been a long hiatus from The Spotlight, but I had to put it on the back burner last month. I was overwhelmed, and I am still quite overwhelmed with much that I am doing to push my first book out into the world. Please bear […]
“If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23). I don’t know about you, but I’ve always struggled with this teaching of Jesus. Especially in light of […]

This post has been a long time coming… It has been in my drafts for a few months, and I saw it earlier this week and said I must get around to writing it asap. I also find it particularly relevant to something I’ve been going through. So, […]
This question was asked in a group I manage on WhatsApp. It doesn’t relate to any particular post I have written, but I believe the lessons and answer I gave are important to share. It was posed: This issue keeps bothering through my mind pls i need your […]

I wrote this poem in the night, for a friend of mine who is hurting so badly in her marriage. I also know the burden and pain of carrying a Cross and I have counselled too many women going through terrible marriages, that sometimes, I feel like all […]
This post is made up entirely of a correspondence between me and one of my readers who commented on my post The Marriage ABCs – R for Respect is Reciprocal. I thought more of my readers would benefit from reading our discussion, because it really blessed me too. […]
