For those of us who didn’t grow up in an affectionate family, uttering the words 'I love you, Mum’ can feel awkward, especially when we also have a lot of challenging moments with our mums.
I was exposed to both Christianity and Buddhism as a child. I was 10 when I came to develop a relationship with God. But this was a fearful secret that I hid from my father for years.
We don’t have to feel burdened about spiritual growth when we remember that growth is given by God (1 Corinthians 3:6–7) and powered by the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22), and that our job is simply to journey with Him and follow His lead.

Instead, friendships are often a tricky arena.
I have a love/hate relationship with social media.
Love: I love connecting with friends around the world, and knowing what’s going on in their lives.
