Thank you Lord...

Today I am finished with my 6 month TB treatment, I am grateful to God for His healing hand on my life and for carrying me through the worst time I have ever experienced physically, this road wasn’t easy yet I am still standing, there were times that I was so weak and I couldn’t even walk properly let alone go to work. Its 6 month later and I am standing strong, I am breathing properly I am laughing and the coughs are gone, so is the night sweats. Why am I sharing my story today because I want to glorify God in all His splendour.

“We have overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our TESTIMONY” (Revelation 12:11)

Although I really don’t feel much triumph today because a friend of mine had a relapse and she suffers from spinal TB. I want to rejoice with all my heart but my heart is breaking for all that she is enduring, the word of God says “we should mourn with those who mourn…” (Romans 12:15)

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who supported me in all the ways imaginable, my family – Saville, Zhanne, Ziara & Sai, my family in Namibia especially my mom -Thank YOU, our Church – Life Church Sea Point – this Church is LOVE IN ACTION, there were ladies who prepared meals for us and it really helped so much. My friend Palesa what a GEM she is she paid someone to come and clean for us, my work RW Design for their understanding through my time of recovery, Patricia Manshon for the lifts from the hospital and emotional support through this time (much appreciated). Thank you from the bottom of my heart I couldn’t not have come through this if I didn’t have your support. Thank you to EVERYONE FOR ENCOURAGEMENTS. For checking on me and or the love you've shown me.May God bless you beyond your expectation.

The Lessons I have learned on this journey of having TB:


  1. When someone offers to help you – You accept wholeheartedly
  2. God is Faithful even when I wasn’t / when we are not
  3. God takes care of EVERYTHING
  4. God’s Love is unconditional
  5. My strength comes from God, when I was weak He was my strength
  6. Take care of you first, you’ll be in a better position to take care of others
  7. Appreciate every moment you have with your family, its those small things that I couldn’t do for my family that I missed the most, show them you love them everyday in what you say and do…
  8. Always have an attitude of Gratitude
  9. Give thanks for everything and acknowledge the work of God in your life
  10. PRAY without ceasing (1 Thessolonians 5:17)

We are so used to...

We are so used to allowing our current circumstances consume us, we lament we groan and moan and we are often so confused as to what the next step must be that we should take.  The groaning and moaning of How unfair this is, Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?  Etc and we find people to complain to but we do nothing about our situations. We then use our situations to fall in abuse of substances and we even turn to other things we never thought we were capable of…because we are so vulnerable and the enemy will use that vulnerability to his advantage. We worry about what this one is going to say. How is it going to look to others? I won’t be able to do this and that? My question to you is, can you afford not to walk away? These are the thoughts that keep us captive. In Hosea 4:6 God reminds us that my people perish through lack of knowledge. So surely when you know better you should do better, right? Look we are all at different spaces in our lives but ...

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?"   "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...
