Who’s Womb Is It? is my book that I wrote after I had my hysterectomy (womb removal). It was not an easy decision for me to make. It was my first time going to a government hospital for a medical procedure. Praise be to our God everything went well. I made some friends at the hospital. I delayed for months to go for the medical procedure because of the stigma behind women without wombs. When I tell some women that I don’t have a womb they say “oh, I’m so sorry, oh, at least I still have mine”. Some women jump away from me as if I said I have a contagious deadly disease. It shows ...

When The Owner Of Souls Comes are poems that I wrote when I thought about LORD Jesus Christ coming back for us, His Bride, ‘His Church’. I count myself not better than anyone else.

They must work together for the perfection of the body. I meet people who act very superior because of the revelations they received from God in the past. I met one pastor who said to me, “Jesus is the head and I am His neck.”...

These are regarded as drunkards, immoral, uncultured, mixed blood, trouble makers, rude, undisciplined, criminals, gangsters and illiterate.

I say little knowledge because I’m not an expert in the field and have a lot to learn. It does not give an excuse to hoarding but encourages givers to give wisely. Most of us were not taught financial skills as children, when we got a coin we ...
