Leave and Live (Part 2)
I have been skirting around this subject; “counseling the couple who’ve gone through abuse” To a huge extent it scares me but again is there comfort in caressing fear? Am still so disturbed by the sudden deaths happening in homes with couples prior to their deaths displaying such extensive love worth being jealous of! Aren’t these […]

Leave and Live (Part 1)
I have to confess, writing about domestic violence as a Christian is the most daring thing I’ve done in my life. Sometimes I hung up my boots but again the master sends me back to the fields and so I’ll tarry some more and wade through the repercussions. The story of the late Mueni suspected […]

The bondage of Emotional abuse/Verbal abuse.
I refer to my red dress as my healing dress; I purposefully purchased it to communicate without words. I wanted to say that I can make decisions, I can speak for me. You can see my tummy is unapologetically bulging and I was so excited that I didn’t tuck it in; I was in a […]

Discipling Children After Domestic Violence
I have been thinking how Christians who have gone through domestic violence are handling their children’s spiritual lives🤔. Are we still able to sell our God to them? I am not a very patient mother but my daughter has given me no option. So I have had to enjoy engaging them in devotions. Like talking […]

HOW TOXIC CAN THE ABUSED BE? (Part 2)
Let’s continue with Kananu episodes. Isn’t it a struggle to write this! Sometimes when we lack identity and security we specialize in our areas of expertise to give us a boost and a name in different kinds of relationships we engage in. We become servants in all the spaces we show up on, to our […]

HOW TOXIC CAN THE ABUSED BE! (Part 1 )
As we look forward to the success of #lowerfoodprices, My crazy friend Kananu dares me to write on how the abused becomes very toxic and abusive in their other relationships. I know she thinks this is a piece of cake for me but am stammering all through. How do you even share how abusive […]

THE SHAME OF DOMESTIC ABUSE
I have tasted the shame of bed wetting. I have tasted the shame of being infested with jiggers. I have tasted the Shame of poverty/lack/Scarcity. I have tasted the shame of birthing out of wedlock. I have experienced shame…… But then there’s the shame of domestic abuse. And especially on a Christian woman. And so […]

The storm doesn’t negate His PRESENCE.
“Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” Mark 4:38 So yesterday as one of our leaders in ‘Holistic Healing Well-Kenya’ shared on the above scripture, I couldn’t help but ponder on what […]

IDENTITY
I remember 3 days in a week from 2017 to 2019; I would come home at 10pm and wake up the children just to check if they’re ok. I was doing ‘gumbaru’. As if waking them up at that time is not insulting enough I would want them to speak to me and tell me […]

IN THE MEMORY OF MY FATHER
But who can adorn a red pair of long trouser, throw in some whites, a dash of brown and strike a pose with a sportsman cigar if not my father. You checked his shoes? And that cap….I need to enquire. Maybe this is how they tesad those days, they’d say things like “look imeweza” of […]
