My Writing Journey
I have loved writing since childhood, keeping journals faithfully. In April 2022, the Holy Spirit led me to type all that was in my journals. By June, He whispered, “It is time you publish your life testimony to encourage people not to give up.” At first, I doubted, thinking, “I’m a stay-at-home wife—where will I get the money?” But the Lord reminded me He is Jehovah Jireh. He instructed me to “Write the book, call it My Anchor ⚓️, and leave the rest to Me.”

Soon after, I met author and publisher Mrs. Lesego Masango, who invited me to a friend’s book launch. The speaker that day declared, “There is someone here doubting what God said to you—it’s time to move.” With tears, I stood, lifted my hands, and received prayer. In faith, I declared I would launch my book on my birthday in 2022.

By June 2022, the manuscript was ready. Invitations for the launch went out by faith, and God miraculously provided financial helpers without me asking.
