Dear Proverbs 31 Woman, or should I say, Aspirant, I hope you open your Bible with this unshakable truth in mind. Christ has already loved you, chosen you, and called you His own. Before you tick off a single “virtuous woman” box, before you master any of the skills in Proverbs 31, you are alreadyContinue reading "Beyond Beauty: Embracing a God Centered Identity"
Boot Camp- I almost didn’t make it
Earlier this year, I moved to Nairobi. One of the things I was most excited about while here was to join the Fearless Institute leadership bootcamp. Our orientation class was on January 12th 2020, exactly four years to the date, since I walked into that same space for my orientation as a Discovery intern. ThisContinue reading "Boot Camp- I almost didn’t make it"
Tell your story
End of the year is usually a time of reflection. All of us have different views and approaches to this time of the year. While some are excited that it has finally come to an end, especially a year like this one, others still mourn its passing. One thing I like to do is goContinue reading "Tell your story"
Prayer struggles
Prayer has been one of the greatest challenges of my Christian life. While I know I am commanded, encouraged, invited and often compelled to pray, I have still struggled with prayer. My struggle has centered primarily on three areas. First, I have struggled with concentration. Why is it that as soon as I bow myContinue reading "Prayer struggles"
#Discovery
A few years ago, when I took my passion for leadership Development a notch higher, I applied for the Discovery Africa program at Mavuno Church in Kenya. It was a 12 month full time engagement that started me off on a very interesting adventure. One of the fun parts was the day I met thisContinue reading "#Discovery"
Shame Stories
"If we share our shame story with the wrong person, they can easily become one more piece of flying debris in an already dangerous storm." Brene Brown (Daring greatly). I read this book a few years ago but it came to mind today as I sat in a matatu in the famous Nairobi traffic. ItContinue reading "Shame Stories"
Random Questions…Part 1
I have had some serious writers' block this year, and I really don't like it. Isn't it funny how when we are supposed to do something it suddenly doesn't come as easy as it used to? I still have a few blog posts to deliver, and I reached out to a few friends to helpContinue reading "Random Questions…Part 1"
Taking Stock- Part 2
Started writing this and suddenly it was too long. So here goes the continuation. The taking stock series are an idea of what it might look like when we pause to see what we are up to on a random day. For me, it leads me to ask questions like “what does this tell meContinue reading "Taking Stock- Part 2"
Taking Stock- Part 1
HEY! Are you still there? I didn’t realise just how much of a toll this year has taken on so many of us, and specifically on me, until I decided to read a few of my journal entries from the past months. Weh!! And yet, even as I did, I also realised that there wereContinue reading "Taking Stock- Part 1"
Your words matter- November Challenge
What if your life took the direction of your words? What if someone's life took the direction of the words you speak to, about, over them (they don't have to hear them for them to take effect)? I know, I know. You are probably thinking "Naaah, I am not that powerful". And yet the BibleContinue reading "Your words matter- November Challenge"
