Love that punishes honesty is control, not care.

God never asked you to swallow your truth. Breathe deeply. Release fear. Your voice matters.

Gender violence has no place in our communities.

Stand, speak, and act. Stop gender violence. ✊

When the same behaviors are praised in men but questioned in women, inequality is learned.

Let’s choose fairness over bias and allow women to lead freely.

Becoming is a proof you’re breathing, moving, and courageous.

Change freely. God meets you in it. Release fear. Stay present. Keep becoming.

Giving is easy. Receiving is hard. Yet love we can’t receive becomes control.

God gives freely. Open your hands.

Boundaries are discernment.

Sometimes the most faithful answer is no. Strength can look like restraint, not explanation.

Love that survives is sacred.

To keep loving after disappointment is strength. If you’re still here, still loving, that is enough.

Survival is love in motion.

God does not hide us.

Self-love was never meant to be invisible. Joy is claimed, fear released, and being seen is alignment, not pride. Our joy is not a threat. It is truth.

Some love ends because you grew.

Grief is proof you loved with depth and eternity in your heart.

February 6, 2026 is the International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM.

FGM is not culture. It is a human rights violation that causes lifelong harm.

Education and community action can end it. Girls deserve safety and dignity.

Psalm 139 reminds us we were formed with intention, not trimmed for acceptance.

Any love that requires your disappearance is not love. Stay present. Release erasure.

Some of you survived violence and were told to stay quiet for “peace.”

Some of you spoke up and became the problem.

This is for you.
Your truth is not the violence.

Desire is information. God is not afraid of what lives in your heart.

Psalm 37:4 reminds us, God gives desires too. Honor them. Release fear.

Yesterday, Wawa Aba Leadership Institute & KOGIs brought smiles to Transformer Secondary School in Mukuru Kwa Rueben.

Sanitary pads were distributed to empower girls, so no one misses school because of their period.

A faith that requires hatred of the body is not holy.

The body is where truth survives.

You were never hard to love.

You were labeled that because you needed care. God never struggled with your humanity.

Love that denies truth cannot last.

God welcomes the whole story, no pretending required.

Some learnings change how we walk. Beginnings are practiced, not announced. God goes ahead and stays close. We move accompanied.

January ends. You showed up. That matters.

God who completes gently remains. Inhale gratitude, exhale judgment.

God is patient with your process.

Unfolding is sacred. Pausing is not failure. Rest is not rebellion.

Take your time becoming.

God notices the small steps we forget to celebrate. Progress is still progress.

Today I acknowledge growth and release comparison.

Hope can whisper, move slowly, and still be strong. That gentle hope is wisdom, not weakness.

Survival is not something to minimize.

God sees what it took to keep going and honors resilience with care & restoration.

Isaiah 57:18 reminds us that endurance is remembered.

Rising into a new week.

From pain, through fear, toward clarity and strength.

Still rising.

You Are Not Alone.

Even when support feels distant, God goes before us and stays with us.

This companionship is a sacred promise, not a fleeting feeling.

Saturday invites pause. Not answers. Not clarity.

Just trust. Presence. God walking with us.
Release the need to know. You are held.
