Let’s address the elephant in the room.

Many parents are worried about two things when they hear that girls are sharing a single bed in boarding school: hygiene and the fear of “lesbianism promotion.”
Let’s be honest and get this straight. No one can force your child into any sexual orientation. Influence is real, yes, but coercion into identity is not. Values, conviction, and personal belief systems are not imposed overnight. They are formed over years at home.

The real question is not, “Who is she sharing a bed with?”

The real question is, “What foundation have I built in my child?”

If your child is morally grounded, spiritually rooted, and confident in who they are, proximity will not change their identity. Exposure is not conversion. Sharing space is not sharing values, period.

As parents, our assignment is bigger than monitoring beds. It is raising children who:

✅️Understand their moral compass
✅️Are grounded in the Word of God
✅️Have the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom
✅️Are filled with conviction, not confusion

Now, about hygiene, that one is practical, not spiritual.

If I found myself in such a predicament, I would solve it like the problem solver I am😅. Ensure my bed mate;

✔ Baths twice a day
✔ Roll-on is not optional
✔ Separate beddings
✔ Head-to-toe sleeping arrangement (my legs where her head is and vice versa)
✔ Clear boundaries and mutual respect

Sharing a bed is not ideal. Let’s be clear about this. But when ideal situations are unavailable, mature minds create workable solutions. Boarding school is not a five-star hotel. It is a training ground for resilience, adaptability, and discipline. Sometimes the discomfort is part of the growth.

Let’s raise children who are strong in character, not fragile in circumstance. Children who can say “no” when they mean no. Children who respect themselves and others.

At the end of the day, parenting is not about eliminating every uncomfortable situation.
It is about preparing our children to stand firm in any situation.

And yes, I sure remain a certified problem solver🤣

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, JUDGES 5:1-12
"The highways were deserted, and the travelers walked along the byways. Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, until I Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel."
Judges 5:6-7, NKJV

ARISE

During the period of the judges, the Canaanites had oppressed the people of Israel for twenty years. God raised up a prophetess named Deborah to judge Israel at this time in history when women were not in leadership, but were pushed down and seen as secondary. She was Israel's only female judge. God put a dream in her heart to free her people from the Canaanites. Sometimes God will ask you to do things that seem way over your head. But deep down she understood this principle. "I'm not on my own. The Lord my God has made me powerful." She stepped out in faith, and God caused things to fall into place, everything turned around for the nation.

A lot of times we discount ourselves. You have to change your thinking. You have to know who you are as a child of God. You have to know that He has made you powerful, not limited. What addictions can you break, what barriers can you overcome, what dreams can you accomplish, if you start seeing yourself the way God made you to be? Stop discounting yourself, you will go for and do exploits.

A Prayer For Today
"Heavenly Father, thank You for the favor on my life, thank You for breathing in my direction, thank You that You are taking me where I couldn't go on my own. Thank You that You are calling me to do things that are way over my head. I declare that I will step out in faith because You are making me powerful. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

Kuli judgement day kulya kuli post ya boarding school. Guys chill 😎😅
Even those who have no idea where we’re coming from are conducting panel discussions in the comments.😅🤣 Let me break it down for you.

We have toured Zambia like an educational roadshow because your lady (me) is forever on assignment.
We started at:
• Nkana Trust School (Kitwe)
• Kalulushi Trust School (Kalulushi)
• Abeka School (Choma)
• Niko Girls Technical School(Namwala)
• Our Lady's School (Lusaka)
You see, we have literally explored Zambia because I am forever on the move.

I actually tried the boarding school project once and failed terribly. And I told myself then that, it's finished, over, closed chapter. And yet, here we are again. Round two.🤣😅
Why have I gone back after swearing “never again”? Because who knows where my next assignment will take me? I do be glad to leave knowing my girl is well settled in boarding school. Stable, focused, and not negotiating with WiFi passwords every evening. Because another thing is, in my house my children have access to phones, netflix, YouTube and wifi that works harder than some employees🤣
Meanwhile we live in Lusaka where traffic is not traffic. It’s a full spiritual journey. By the time I get home, I’ve battled minibus drivers, some incompetent drivers, and congestion that tests your patience. Now, here's another twist to the tale, If you, a fully grown adult with responsibilities and bills, are addicted to your phone, what about a teenager with free WiFi and zero stress? To me, boarding school is not punishment. It’s a strategic intervention. It’s an academic detox center. It’s a focus bootcamp. This is not cruelty. This is long-term vision. Because right now, I want books to be her biggest distraction, not TikTok trends. And you know this parenting thing? It’s a project in progress. And so far? Project Boarding School 2.0 is loading beautifully and we peacefully move🤗

A woman must leave that labour ward alive in body and intact in dignity🤗

February 2014.
Kitwe Central Hospital.
Labour ward.

I have had 4 deliveries, two from mine hospitals, one private. Then this other time? Government high cost. Not because I didn’t have options.
But because I wanted to experience it for myself.
I had heard the stories. The whispers. The nightmares. Still, I went.

Labour progressed well. I arrived during a shift change. The first comment thrown at me “Oho mwaisa namusamba muletutuka nokututuka”😅
I laughed it off. Because sometimes humour is how we survive vulnerability.

I was admitted. Given a bed. Monitoring? Erratic.
Conversations among staff? Consistent. When labour progressed faster than they expected, they questioned me, “How?” How when most of their time was spent chatting?😠
Let me be clear, not all nurses are like this. Some are angels in uniforms. But that day, I met the other “some.”
I safely delivered my baby. And then I heard the conversation that has never left me.
✅️Nures M, “Pack her with some cotton wool to stop the bleeding, I’ll come and suture her later.”
✅️Nurse P “The scale is not working, so we go ku theatre to weigh the baby.”
✅️Nurse M, “Just put 2.5kg, why waste your time and energy?”
A few minutes later, nurse P came to suture the tear and upon completion asked Nurse M, “Did you remove the cotton wool packs we put in her?”
✅️Nurse M, “Aaa lwakwe, kakaye bola nga kubola.”

️✴️Me: 😱🙆

In that moment, I wasn’t just a mother. I was a statistic waiting to happen. A body on a bed. A woman whose dignity was negotiable.

Years later, I happened to go to Kitwe Central Hospital to do Medical detailing and spoke to some healthcare workers i was detailing to about labour ward experiences. One name kept coming up. The same nurse. The same attitude. The same stories.
My conclusion? Maybe she was going through a lot. Because surely takwaba mwe. It cannot just be cruelty.
And today, instead of anger, I choose something higher. Wherever that Lady M is, May she find healing. May she find restoration. May she encounter the overwhelming, transforming love of God. Because sometimes the hands that hurt others are hands that are hurting themselves.

But here’s the truth, a woman in labour is at her most vulnerable. Her body is open. Her heart is open. Her life is literally split between two worlds, survival and birth. In that moment, healthcare is not just clinical. It is sacred.

Every careless word. Every ignored protocol. Every shortcut taken. It lingers.

We talk about maternal mortality. We talk about equipment shortages. We talk about lack of funding. But we must also talk about compassion. Professionalism. Accountability. Because safe delivery is not enough. A woman must leave that labour ward alive in body and intact in dignity.

To every healthcare worker reading this: You may forget the shift. You may forget the patient. But she will never forget you.

And to every woman who has had a silent, traumatic labour ward experience, your fear was valid and may you find healing in God's presence as birth should not be survival. It should be honour and should reflect the heart of God.

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, GENESIS 31:22-42
"If the God of my father had not been on my side-the God of Abraham and the fearsome God of Isaac-you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen your abuse and my hard work."
Genesis 31:42, NLT

HE'S ON YOUR SIDE

Year after year, Jacob's father-in-law, Laban, lied to him and cheated him out of his wages ten times. Jacob could have walked away bitter, but he took the high road and kept being his best. In the end, God's extraordinary blessing on Jacob was so abundant that he had more flocks than Laban.

Don't be discouraged over what it looks like you're losing, how you're being shortchanged, not getting what you deserve. God knows what you're owed. When you come into your payback time, you'll see sudden increase, unusual growth, extraordinary blessing. Now here's the key: Don't look to people to make it up to you; look to God. That person who hurt you or the company that let you go can't pay you back the way God is going to pay you back. If you get it from people, it's going to be less than what it should have been. You have to pass the test of being vindictive. That's not a battle you're supposed to fight. Let the Most High God settle your account.

A Prayer For Today
"Heavenly Father, thank You that You see everything that has happened to me. Thank You that I can let go of every unfair thing and forgive quickly before bitterness can come in. I declare that I will continue to be my best and let You settle my accounts. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

Now that I am serving as a Dean of Students, I get asked this question alot, “So what happened to nutrition and wellness?” Well, the truth is, nothing happened to it.I never abandoned it. I actually expanded it. You know, titles may change, offices may shift, but purpose evolves, it doesn’t expire. Every lesson learned, every qualification earned, every season worked through becomes a building block, not baggage.

Today, as a Dean, nutrition is still alive, in our model gardens feeding our university community with fresh vegetables. Wellness is still alive on Sports Day, where staff and students move, laugh, compete, and heal together. Health is still alive at our health stands, where blood pressure is checked, blood sugar monitored, minds counselled, and lives nudged toward wholeness. Psychology is still alive because leadership is people, and people need understanding, empathy, and care.

You see, agriculture, nutrition, health, wellness, and psychology didn’t disappear. They converged!

And that’s the beauty of purpose, it weaves everything you’ve ever done into what you are called to do now.

I strongly believe this: Nothing you studied was wasted. No job you held was accidental. No assignment was random. Every step prepared you for this moment. For the assignment God already wrote your name on. Sometimes elevation doesn’t mean leaving things behind. It means carrying them higher so they can serve more people. And honestly!That’s not just amazing. That’s divine alignment.🙌👏

I knew I had finally healed concerning taking my daughter to boarding school the day a fellow parent called me in distress😅

She said, “My daughter says she’s not going back next term. They make them sleep two on a bed and they clean the ablution block themselves!” I paused. Not because I was shocked. But because I was trying to understand the emergency.🚨😂

Sleep two on a bed? In boarding school?
Madam, did she expect a presidential suite at Taj Pamodzi Hotel? And as for cleaning the ablution block, I’m sorry🤣

I calmly said, “So what exactly was she expecting? A double bed and a personal maid?” Because last I checked, boarding school builds character, not room service.
As your child leaves for boarding school, do not let her/him think they’re checking into Radisson Blu Hotel.
✔️My dear, you are there to learn mathematics, not mattress dimensions.😅🤣
✔️You are there to pass exams, not inspect thread counts.
✔️You are there to build resilience, not file accommodation complaints😭😂

You will sweep. You will scrub. You will share space. And you will survive.

✅️Healing is when another parent is panicking and you are calmly asking, “Is she at least eating well and passing?” Because everything else falls under character development🤣

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, ISAIAH 61:1-7
Instead of your shame you shall have a double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion, Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
Isaiah 61:7, NKJV

DOUBLE

When we go through a loss or someone does us harm, a victim mentality will always come knocking at our door. We have to make the choice. Are we going to live bitter, discouraged, thinking we're a victim of our circumstances? Or are we going to believe that God is in control, that He's ordering our steps, that His plans for us are for good? Instead of having a victim mentality, switch over to a victor mentality. That bad break is not how your story ends.

God says that He will pay you back double for the unfair things that have happened. If you're going to see the double, you have to know that God is going to make it up to you. He knows who hurt you, what you lost, and what you're struggling with. He's not going to just bring you out, He's going to bring you out better. What you can't see is that it set you up for promotion, increase, and favor. You're not a victim, God always causes you to triumph.

A Prayer For Today
"Heavenly Father, thank You that You never leave me stuck as a victim, but You always work to bring about my victory. Thank You for Your promise that You are going to make up for it in such an above-and-beyond way. I receive Your double blessing and the joy that goes on forever. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, JAMES 1:2-8
For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
James 1:3, NLT

IN THE MIDDLE OF A MIRACLE

When we think of miracles, we think of when God suddenly turns things around. Jesus touched the blind man, and his eyes were opened. Moses held up his staff, and the Red Sea parted. But not all miracles are instantaneous. Sometimes we're praying and believing, but our health isn't improving or our dream isn't coming to pass. You may think, "God, why aren't You doing something?" You don't realize that God is sustaining you, pushing back forces of darkness, keeping you from getting discouraged and giving up. You're in the middle of a miracle, but you can't always see it. It's the miracle of endurance. One day you'll look back and think, "How did I make it through that season when I didn't think I had the strength to go on?" God didn't deliver you from it, but He gave you the grace to go through it. Without His hand of protection, favor, and blessing, you wouldn't be where you are. We love instantaneous miracles, but it's no less of a miracle when God takes you through what should have taken you out.

A Prayer For Today
"Heavenly Father, thank You that no matter what the circumstances are around me, I can be still and know that You are God right at this moment. Thank You that If I am in the middle right now, You will bring me through to my miracle. I declare that I am going to triumph in Christ. In Jesus's Name, Amen."

Health & Wellness: More Than the Absence of Illness

Health and wellness is not just about not being sick, it is about being fully alive.
✅️It is the daily decision to care of your body, protect your mind, and nurture your spirit.
✅️It is balance. It is intention. It is choosing what helps you thrive, not just survive.

True wellness asks deeper questions:
✅️Are you resting, or just pushing through exhaustion?
✅️Are you nourishing your body, or just filling it?
✅️Are you emotionally whole, or silently breaking?

Health and wellness is self-respect in action.
✅️It is preventive, not reactive.
✅️It is holistic, not fragmented.
✅️It is a lifestyle, not a phase.

When you choose health and wellness, you choose longevity over burnout, clarity over chaos, and purpose over pressure. Because you don’t just deserve to live, you deserve to live well.😍
