Sam Sukumar is a quiet student of living — exploring what it means to awaken, to grow, and to leave a living legacy. Through L.I.F.E. (Living Intentionally For Evolving), he shares reflections, questions, and frameworks for those on the same path.

Thine Own Way

Hands shaping soft clay illuminated by warm light, symbolizing grace, renewal, and divine formation.

Sometimes the songs we sing badly stay with us the longest. “Have Thine Own Way, Lord” was one of those for me—a melody I once mumbled through, now a prayer that shapes the way I live. What I missed in tune, I’ve learned in time: that grace doesn’t need perfection to be heard. It only asks that we stay soft enough to be shaped.

Turning a New Leaf

A single leaf turning from green to gold, suspended in warm light — symbolizing transformation, grace, and the movement from striving to rootedness.

Parenthood has a way of changing how you understand love. The strength I once measured by how high I could stand is now measured by how gently I can stay. My children have taught me what my mother’s faith began — that love doesn’t always reach upward; sometimes it sends roots downward. And in that quiet turning, Christ meets me again — not in the sky, but in the soil, where breath becomes belonging.
