Faithful Females in Christ, Gaborone (2026)

28/03/2023

🪴I’m listening to this on Audible and to tell you that it’s the book I NEEDED to listen to at this time is an understatement.

🪴You can read the summary on the next two slides. I love that the two women address Motherhood in light of the Power of the Gospel and link the daily humdrum of homely duties to little opportunities for deep and sincere worship.

🪴It’s a call to women to allow the Gospel message to permeate every aspect of our lives from meal planning to postpartum recovery and even dealing with disabilities.

🪴I hope you will be able to dig into this book and become inspired to allow your entire being and calling to be rooted in our hope in Christ.

Days like this I realise how important it is to slow down look them in the eye and tune in to their needs and remember that every act of service preaches the Gospel and the reality of Christ’s Love♥️

📄”When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight. They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭30‬-‭32‬ 📄

This is just one example of Christ eating with the disciples but this specific instance was after His Resurrection. The scripture says that their eyes were opened to recognise Christ after they had eaten the bread He had given them. At that moment they were aware that the words He was speaking to them was sparking a fire within their hearts.

What a beautiful way to minister His Presence, His Love and His Word! And in our own small earthly way we can share the reality of His Divine Word with our littles not just literally but through simple service and affection.

What I do personally is try to intersperse Christ-Centred conversation throughout our activities, recreation and times spent together. I try to help them recognise Christian themes in books, movies etc. I’ve had some pretty rousing conversations with my 5 year old daughter which has got me diving into theology and apologetics but that’s a different conversation 😄📚

Whoever said parenting was a straightforward endeavour? 😄The best thing I believe any mum can do in preparation of discipling our children is to read the Bible cover to cover, understand the basic doctrines and read some helpful books to start unpacking the conversation with your children. DM me if you’d like some recommendations💌

How else do you go about discipline your children? I’m always building my repertoire 👩🏽‍🎓

My children are:
💛Active
💛Energetic
💛Expressive
💛Hilarious
💛Compassionate
💛Persistent
💛Persuasive
💛Unrelenting
💛Loving
💛Cuddly
💛Joyful

Mind you I’m writing this as I’m sending Chryssa back to bed for the umpteenth time. 🤦🏽‍♀️ But no I’m not decreeing and declaring these attributes over them or trusting God to make them this way.

It’s just who they are. And as much as they disobey daily, make mistakes and make me scream and shake my head in disbelief and chagrin😂, they are two of the most amazing humans I’ve ever met and I adore them so much. They fill my heart with so much joy. As tasking and exhausting it can be to care for them most days I always end up feeling such deep gratitude for the honour of being their mother.

They are such delightful beings and I always put that thought in front of whatever I do with or for them. I’m so ever blessed to be a mother and nothing comes before that except being a wife and a worshipper.

For every stage of life we are in there are triumphs and trials and so wherever you are in your personal family journey I encourage you to curate and discover joy and thankfulness. It changes everything and best of all it helps you to once again gaze with such awe and wonder at a Father who adores us so much that He is here in the little details and teaches us to count it ALL joy even in the trenches.

Even muddied up and bedraggled I have learned to slow down, go on my knees and say THANK YOU to the Lord of my life who knows the end from the beginning and has not laid on me anything too heavy to bear.

So today ladies let’s come together and say THANK YOU for our gifts 🎁 whatever they may be ♥️

What are you thankful for? 🤗

First of all yes that’s Jesse my 19 month old son in the pantry. And second of all now I know where all my eggs 🥚 have been going 😂

Before I started having children I always said I wanted to have 4. Then this fine fellow came along and I paused and started reassessing my desire. From birth he wasn’t “easy”. He tested all my strength and resolve from his actual birth, my postpartum recovery to his sleeping and eating patterns. He sent me to the edge of myself and I spent many days dazed and super exhausted praying and asking God to show me which approach would work.

He is also the one who has helped me to become firmly rooted in my parenting approach which I personally call “Christ First”. What this requires of me is that no matter my action or response it must be directed by godly wisdom, at least as much of it as I understand. For e.g. he just had a major tantrum and meltdown. And I won’t lie. Seeing my little baby begin to show some grown emotions has thrown me quite a bit (hugs needed😳). He’s grown so fast and is expressing a level of maturity and steadfastness and dare I say it stubbornness which I thought he was too young to show.

Using my approach, I took a deep breath and checked my motive for responding. This means that I have to make sure I’m not angry, retaliatory or exasperated. I check
him out of love. I then showed him that his behaviour was wrong and unacceptable by telling and showing him so. When he continued having a fit we retreated to his bedroom which was quiet and cool. I let him express himself a little bit to calm down. I then sat on the floor and invited him into my arms for a hug during which I sang to him. When he looked up at him I smiled at him to let me know that I wasn’t angry, that I still loved him and he was still my baby 🥰 because ultimately I want him to associate discipline with love.

Why do I use this approach? Because of this simplified understanding of the Gospel - man sinned, God let man know he had sinned, man was given the consequences of his sin, God still loved and clothed him inspite of his sinful nature and didn’t break communion with him.

As my daughter 👧🏽 leaves toddlerhood for good it has become more important to show and reach her the Biblical standard for living.

It means I’ve had to take a closer look at my priorities and the way I live out my faith🚶‍♀️

One of the critical areas for me as a believer is the way I respond to the issue of sin and God’s righteousness ➕and how I walk this out in my daily life in front of my family.

I learned that when you reprimand a child without them understanding God’s Standard they are confused 😐 and they are more likely to repeat the wrong and even worse become resentful.

I am so grateful I have the opportunity to read 📖 through the scriptures with her and examine its truths.

I’ve also created this GUIDELINE to remind me to take her through the steps of REPENTANCE FROM SIN 🙏🏽 AND GOD’S FORGIVENESS.

I hope you find this to be a helpful resource. It’s FREE♥️Also you can feel free to discuss the steps and recommend any steps you would like to add to the GUIDELINE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR💛💛💛

I pray you’re basking in the newness of 2023 😁😁😁

Personally I’m super excited because I ended 2022 with the decision to grow spiritually and to tighten my focus on those things that matter for eternity.💛

And because we can do absolutely nothing without Him I’ve committed my plans to the Lord and have asked for His grace and mercy for this new journey.💛

I’m soooooooo thankful for ALL OF YOU! 😄You’re such beautiful and lovely people and I’ve been so blessed to have had the opportunity to read the Word, chat, fellowship, pray and laugh with you. 💛

Thank you for walking with me through a tough and wonderful 2022! Here is to a gracefully abundant and lovely 2023! And when we meet challenges, which we most certainly will, I pray the wisdom of God will ground and comfort us as we forge forward unto perfection💛

Happy and Blessed 2023 to You All 🥂

🎄 The Christmas Holiday Season can be so overly busy. There are meals to be made, family members to be seen, presents to be wrapped and decorations to be put up. It’s so encompassing and honestly can be quite fun.

🎁 But recently I’ve been thinking of ways to make Christ the focus of the holiday - not the meals, presents and festivities as exciting as they may be.

🎅 A couple of days ago I had to sit with my daughter and talk to her about the real significance of Christmas - the birth of God’s son Jesus Christ. We also delved into the Importance of the Gospel and how we received Eternal Salvation and the Atonement for Sin. During the conversation she confessed a sin she had committed to me. I was really surprised and extremely glad. The Gospel had convicted her baby heart of her sin and her need for forgiveness. We prayed, she repented and I assured her that her sin had been forgiven.

♥️ This may seem like a heavy conversation for a child but if our only focus is on a jolly fat man who gives out presents we lose the opportunity to share the gospel with our little ones and encourage them to develop a genuine relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

🎄So my beautiful ladies by all means ENJOY THE SEASON but don’t lose sight of the Lord Jesus Christ in Christmas. And let’s use every opportunity to share the wonderful message of His Saving Grace.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.” Isaiah 9:6-7

Merry Christmas
♥️♥️♥️

I can’t count the number of times I bemoaned being single and how guilty I felt about it. But with the Lord’s grace I learnt that it was more than how I felt about being single. His Word pointed me straight to how much I trusted Him not just to provide at the right time but to mourn with me. Surprised?

I would like to invite you to join me this evening and please bring your friends. It’s free, insightful, Biblical and fun 😊

Let’s dive deeper into this together as sisters and support one another. And I have some stories to share 😂😂😂🧡🧡🧡

11/11/2022

🧡I remember looking down at my body after I had my second baby and feeling shock at how broken it looked. I felt so confused. I wondered how I was going to start recovering ❤️‍🩹

🧡It has been 18months postpartum and I’m still learning everyday how to heal and recover. God has been so kind and gentle with me and shown me so much grace. I’ve had wonderful women tell me that the best way is to tackle it a day at a time. So much grace just going around 🤗

🧡Please join us tomorrow and bring along a friend and a cup of tea as we discuss
“Taking Care of Yourself through the Different Seasons of Womanhood” ☕️🫖

🧡I pray the Lord blesses us with a rich and fruitful conversation. See you tomorrow 😄

11/11/2022

🧡It’s been two years since the world was shut down and people couldn’t interact as much as they used to. I don’t know about you but I found it really challenging. I guess we underestimated how important community and fellowship is.

🧡God in His infinite wisdom never created man to live in isolation. He intentionally wired us for community and interaction. We even see this exemplified in the relationship Christ had with His disciples.

🧡This month I’d like to encourage you to grow in fellowship with other sisters in Christ.

• You can start with Christian women in your family and friendship groups. Check on them and have regular meet-ups, coffee dates, chats etc
• Look within your church community. Is there already a Women’s group or fellowship you could join? See where you can plug yourself in and commit to attending these fruitful gatherings.
• If you’re far from home and starting afresh start by being friendly. Approach other women and try to start new friendships. Search online for Biblically based churches, fellowships and women groups. Visit and get to know new people.
• Host a book club, coffee and muffins hangout, breakfast meet up, babysitting gathering or anything else that’ll help you foster community.

🧡Give it a go! It may not be easy in the beginning. But let’s keep praying and trying to create a healthy community of Christian women edifying and encouraging one another.

🧡”For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine” Romans 1:11-12

🧡You can also drop in on our Zoom Hangouts every Saturday at 8pm GMT with your cup of tea or coffee ☕️ and have a great conversation 😊

Whew…🫡

🍂It’s been QUITE a week! How are YOU doing? I know it can be a lot and sometimes all we need is a friend to lean on or to talk to. Relationships can be so complex sometimes and that’s why we are talking about relationships as a Christian woman today.

🍂 If you were in our last session you’ll know we have an amazing time just chatting and referring to God’s Word for clarity.

🍂I really hope you join this evening with your cup of tea☕️ You deserve a virtual hang out with like-minded women 😊😍

See you soon 🧡
