Mom
Her name is Vilimaina and every part of me that is good is because of her. This is only a glimpse of the woman that I came from. This woman was thirty-six, vivacious, blonde, strong, smart, elegant, funny and beautiful with a mouth that could tear you down and raise you up in one breath.…

Fear
What is your greatest fear? I watched a youtube video a couple of days ago where a hollywood actor was being asked questions by his wife and one of the questions was: what is your greatest fear? I was expecting him to answer like everyone else, something like “well, you know, I don’t really have…

The Qarase Impact
Laisenia Qarase. The name talked about everywhere in this country today. Former prime minister of Fiji, father, husband, leader, mentor and much more. This man made an impact in this nation that many feel today, few knew behind the scenes, and only one ever established before he was even born. I never met this powerhouse…

Here We Are.
Here We Are. The world looking for answers. The Church debating whether to even have service online or if we should meet in that building anyway because “the devil should not have its way”.

New, the sounds, the motorbikes, the cars, the smell, the statues of their gods, all new, at least to me. Well maybe…

Simple
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. There is really no need to know what the whole day will look like before you wake up or even what the week may be like. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good thing to have plans, it’s even better to have goals and…

A Different Kind of Sunday
Yesterday was a great time of family getting together for a vulnerable panel discussion to shine light on one thing: God remains. A Greek woman & a Dutch man both born & raised in the land of the long white cloud, married 27 & 1/2 years & counting with two amazing children. A young Fijian…

Present
Being present. Not just online. Intentional. Here. In this conversation. Now. I see it everywhere, developing countries, developed countries, cities, villages, towns…you name it. Heads down, eyes focused, two thumbs tapping away to get the correct emojis to refer to a sentence, are words not enough anymore? What even are English classes? Might as well…
