Story
I am Nunudzai. In 2015, from April – September, I lost my husband, 2 best friends, my mother-in-law, my job. This is within 5 months, in Harare. Compounded events. Disorientation. Trauma. Loss. Grief. Mourning. Anger. Fear. Anxiety. Clinical Depression. More fear. Confusion. More terror. Beneath that even more fear. I spiralled and lost my footing. I stayed in crisis mode and in a fog for 3 years, with an invasive psychiatrist diagnosis of chronic maniac depression bi-polar (for life), prescription meds & psychologists' interventions for managing the ailment/s. I wanted healing, not a management. I did not know how. I was angry. I quit metropolitan lonely capital Harare, for the safety of my little home mountainous town Mutare. Jobless. Hopeless. I had just one simple prayer, “Lord, I am so tired of this, but I do want to be a useful person of influence”. 2020-2021 Charis Bible College’s daily steady dose of the true Gospel, of the undiluted simplified too good to be true news of Jesus, the only true change agent, transformer, deliverer, healer, the medicine that has no side effects, the more overdose you take in the better you become, started the effortless change from inside out, began undoing decades of maladjustment, abuse, oppression, depression, dysfunction. Religion/Legalism helps you to think wrong, believe wrong, behave wrong, causing stress. Mat 11:28-30 MSG enveloped me “…unforced rhythms of Grace …where God will not put anything ill- fitting on you .” activated the process of realigning my mind, my will, my emotions to the TRUTH of who & what God says I am. I am no longer a slave to fear. I am mentally, emotionally, stable and it gets gooder and gooder. I am graduating with a miraculous Associate Degree in Biblical Studies and will continue on this journey to Business Leadership School God’s way. I can now be a real authentic useful person of influence. There is no better wealth in the world than peace of mind. It is well with my soul. Jesus is enough.
