Over time I have learnt to appreciate the deep love for reading God has given me. I used to take it for granted; that it's as easy as picking up a book and immersing yourself in it. You know, the way that I do. Gradually, I would hear people remark how they admire the fact [...]
A Night Child
It's 00:44am and I'm still up. Yes, I had a cup of coffee rather late at night, 10pm, to be exact. That's not the reason I am up, actually because as much as I love coffee, I don't make it a habit of having it after midday. Being up at this hour has almost always [...]
Intentionality
By now we all ought to know that nothing just happens randomly. Sometimes desire alone is insufficient. Multi-billion dollar companies don’t just happen overnight, great and inspiring marriages don’t just happen as a result of free flow, loyalty doesn’t just come, being an unforgettable parent doesn’t happen by chance, growing spiritually doesn’t just happen, leaving [...]
Out of Rest, Beautiful Things Are Birthed
A lady I respect and deeply admire once said (paraphrased), "We are so busy doing that we stop being, and yet, we are human beings and not human doings." Do you grasp the depth behind this statement? All too often, we wait to get tired before we can rest, that is neither okay, nor a [...]
Being. Still.
Those who know me well, know that I am an indoors person. I genuinely am not equipped to connect with nature as does the good majority. I feel slightly out of place when it comes to discussing the beauty of the constellations and attempting to go into serenading detail about the sunset over the horizon. But [...]
Finding Closure: Rest In Peace, Uncle
Of course, never once did I imagine that the culmination of The Father Series would be reached through the passing of my uncle, Dad's younger brother. I found myself wondering how one mourns the passing of someone of such close relation, and yet acknowledging never having truly known them? Nonetheless, I decided to embark upon [...]
Dear PJ,
My Moruti and Father who oozes with so much swag... Ps. Jerry, thank you for your presence. Your presence and life have spoken so much into my life - much more than your words (and you know that's BIIIG because your words always change my life!). I have always submitted to people that whenever I [...]
Dear PG,
Where do I even begin? The first sentence out of your mouth that caught my when I was sitting in Youth Group at the age of 16 years old was, "God wants to be a part of every area of your life." That alone profoundly explains the simplicity behind how you have captured my [...]
Dear Daddy,
I am honoured and privileged to have been hand-picked by God to be born as your daughter. You have absolutely changed my life. The 16 years that I got to spend with you forever altered me and created the woman that I am today, and will continue evolving into. Your words, your love, your high [...]
Botlhe Mauchaza
Growing up I never really thought about my name. I didn't feel anything toward it; I was rather indifferent toward it. Mind you, I have had ample time to decide how I feel about what my parents named me. In addition to that, I have more than one name however, “Botlhe” is the name I [...]
