Trusting Process

33 years ago, Holger and I met in Muizenberg. 24 years ago we returned to Muizenberg, to launch our ministry debut back into South Africa. I was pregnant and a mom of a beautiful little girl already. If you have heard my story before, you will know that this mommy was struggling, but doing her very best. We soon joined Beautiful Gate in Crossroads and in the December after that first engagement with work in Cape Town with vulnerable children, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. The birth of this boy, also marked the season of my exit from YWAM. It was all too much for me. I needed to focus on being a mom and studying again. I had identified some gaps in my knowledge and wanted to grow. I embarked on my counselling studies when Daniel was a year old. I was a mom of two young kids, studying and working in a preschool to help pay for my studies. The tension between work and motherhood was always present for me. My journey in ministry with this, had not been easy a

Embracing Foster Care

It is Foster Care Month again. I will never forget how close we were as a family to it becoming a national movement in South Africa. In 2018 our family photo and story was posted on a few sites and on national television to mark the start of this holiday. I was reeling. I did not want to be a foster mom, I wanted to adopt! I had made this very clear to God in 2014 when I felt Him challenging me to open my home. I know the foster care system all too well and wanted nothing to do with it. We were told in 2016 as we got involved with the girls that it was going to be easy to adopt them and that there was no chance of reunification. In retrospect this should have been the case with all they had been through, but the system is not set up to really serve the child. The girls have been in our care since the end of 2016.The family of the girls have faithfully showed up at court, but sadly have been unable to satisfy the courts of their ability to have their girls home and in 2021 the court si

Mental Health is a HUMAN RIGHT!

In September last year I wrote a blog, describing my mental health crisis I found myself in. In some ways writing it down and putting it out there helped me feel not so alone, but it was my least read blog. I am not sure why? Perhaps the world only wants to hear of my success and highs and not my lows. The older I am getting some days the lows get really low. I have been on a journey quite intentionally with Zinzi in the last year (even though I have known her so much longer) as she has been working on her album. Her album launched today and I got to listen to it at 4:30 am. What a beautiful story and a beautiful album! This last week in my life has been one of the most stressful in a very long time. It is not that any big thing happened. It was just the news that people I loved were not doing well. These people are close to me, really close to me. We had to after probably letting the concerns go on to long, stop supporting three more Community Kitchens. That was very har
