Many people speak of the future as though it is distant, abstract, or safely tucked away somewhere ahead. In reality, the future is never far. It is as close as the next minute, the next decision, the next word spoken, or the next action taken. What we often call “the future” is simply the present unfolding at speed. This is why guarding your future is not a task for later. It is a responsibility for now. A common mistake, especially among young people but not limited to them

We have journeyed to this point together, and what a year it has been. As we count down the final six days of the year, today feels like a sacred pause—an ideal moment for reflection, gratitude, and honest assessment of how far we have come. Thank you for being part of the With Auntie Nats community. Your presence, engagement, encouragement, and commitment to growth have mattered more than you know. My prayer is that along the way, you were not only encouraged but inspired to

The exchange recorded in John 1:22–23 is brief, yet profoundly revealing. When questioned about his identity, John the Baptist does not hesitate, embellish, or attempt to elevate himself. He answers with clarity and restraint, anchoring his identity in assignment rather than status. He knows who he is. He knows why he is here. He knows what he is not called to be. His words echo the prophecy spoken centuries earlier in Book of Isaiah, and he aligns himself fully with that div

Hurricane Melissa has taught us many lessons, some painful, some eye-opening, and some deeply spiritual. Among the most powerful is this truth: we rise faster when we rise together. Relationships are not accessories in life; they are foundations. They strengthen us in crises and steady us in seasons of peace. Whether reconnecting with old friends, strengthening family ties, or rebuilding community trust, now is the time to be intentional. This guide will help you form, nurtur

DEVOTIONAL (Part 2): Scripture Focus: I will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten. Joel 2:25 (NIV) Reflection Title: After the Storm — When God Rebuilds What Was Lost Reflection Thought: Joel 1 reveals devastation. Joel 2 reveals God’s intention after devastation. After the locust plague, the people were left shaken, humbled, and uncertain about the future. Yet Joel 2 announces something powerful. Restoration is not only possible; it is God’s promise.

Rest is one of the kindest things we can do for ourselves, and one of the most precious gifts we can model for our children. In today’s fast-paced world, even our little ones seem caught up in the “hustle and bustle syndrome.” As parents, we sometimes find it difficult to get them to pause, breathe, and simply rest. Yet Scripture reminds us that God Himself rested on the seventh day, setting an eternal example that rest is not laziness but divine wisdom. Rest is not punishmen

In early childhood settings, rest time is often scheduled but seldom prioritised. Many educators observe that young children struggle to relax, even during quiet time. The reality is that many have already absorbed the culture of busyness,  constantly in motion, constantly stimulated, rarely still. Yet both Scripture and science affirm the need for rest. God Himself modelled it at creation. The body craves it. The mind depends on it. Rest is not a lapse in learning but a foun
