For weeks after returning home from Sri Lanka, one question keeps surfacing. "Lord... was it worth it?" It isn't really about my fractured wrist, or the surgery, or the panic, or the sleepless nights or the loss of my wedding and engagement rings. Those were simply the final chapter of a much longer story.
As we flew out of Sri Lanka, I felt as though I had been torn away before I was ready. There had been no proper goodbye and no sense of closure. As the plane lifted over the palm trees and lush green landscape, a message arrived from a dear friend. "In a few moments you will be off the shores of Sri Lanka. Thank you, my friends, for the investment in our lives. Only heaven will tell you the impact you've had."
Love was never meant to pour endlessly from a broken cup. Yet many of us have tried, exhausting ourselves, hoping our efforts would be enough to fill another, or to silence our own emptiness. But marriage, like all human relationships, was never meant to replace the love that only God can give.

It calls men to wrestle with their identity, seeking to redefine roles and purpose not from the world’s standards, but through the deep well of divine calling.
“Show me a man who can listen to a woman and not try to fix her problem but rather just listen to her and be there for her, show me a woman who can sit with a man who shares…
To deepen my understanding of complementarianism and egalitarianism, I turn to Proverbs 31. As I revisit Proverbs 31:10-31, I begin to see it through a fresh lens. This passage, often upheld as a blueprint for the "ideal woman," introduces the eshet chayil, translated as the "wife of noble character" or, more vibrantly, the "woman of valour."
In a world that often divides roles and relationships into rigid categories, the story of man and woman is far richer than we realise.
In the delicate balance between strength and surrender, a woman’s role in the grand narrative of faith and relationships is often misunderstood or minimised. Yet, it is here, in the intersection of personal power and quiet submission, that the truest expressions of womanhood are revealed.
