A new year doesn’t ask you to forget where you’ve been, it invites you to carry your story forward with hope. Every challenge you’ve faced has shaped your strength, your resilience, and your ability to begin again.

Whether you’ve been walking through addiction, relationship breakdown, grief, or simply waiting for things to change.. this year holds room for growth, healing, and renewed hope.

Sometimes new beginnings start when we step outside the boundary lines we’ve lived within for so long.

This could be the year things begin to shift -- not through pretending the past didn’t happen, but by choosing to face it with support, courage, and hope.

Not because everything is perfect, but because there are still moments of goodness worth noticing.

A kind conversation.
A shared meal.
A quiet breath of peace.
Even small smiles matter.

Just a reminder at this time of the year;

Be kind to yourself.

When you speak to yourself with kindness instead of criticism, the weight of shame begins to lift.

Let go of shame.
Make room for kindness.
And start each day anew.

Take a moment and ask yourself:
• What do you wish you had done this year?
• What have you been putting off for “someday” or “next year”?

Here’s the truth:
You don’t need perfect confidence to take a step.
You just need willingness.

Start with one small action toward the life you want.
Start today — not in January, not when everything feels perfect, not when fear disappears.

Small action builds hope.
Hope builds courage.
And courage weakens the fear that keeps you stuck.

Your next chapter can begin now.

The end of the year can feel like a blur — lists, deadlines, expectations.
Here’s a gentle pause in the middle of it all.
Take a breath.

Forgetting small things,
Feeling irritable for no reason,
Wanting to be alone more,
Struggling to feel excited about anything,
Feeling overwhelmed by simple decisions.

Be gentle with yourself — and if you’re feeling stuck, support is only a conversation away.

— I mean really laughed?
Not the polite kind, but the kind that catches you off guard and makes your stomach roll!
Somewhere between deadlines, responsibilities, and holding everything together, we can forget what joy actually feels like, especially during this last sprint to the holiday season.
Don’t let the busyness of life steal the moments that make memories.

As the year draws to a close, November invites us to slow down... to pause, breathe, and take stock of how far we’ve come.

It’s a time to reflect on the challenges we’ve faced, the growth we’ve experienced, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. It’s also a reminder to restore what feels weary, and renew our focus on what truly matters, caring for ourselves and others as we head into the holiday season.

Let’s take this month to reflect with kindness, restore with intention, and renew with hope.

Have you or someone you love been battling illness or cancer? We’ve seen people healed through the power of prayer.

Gain insight from those in the medical field, and grow in your ability to pray for the sick (combining practical knowledge with faith grounded in God’s Word).

Led by Linda Headley-Fesel, who is currently involved in medical research after an experience with cancer herself. God healed her and now she walks in a calling to help others find hope and restoration.

Join us on the first Saturday of every month at 9am at Sanctuary Soul Care Centre.

We’ve seen God move. Come believe with us — for yourself, or for someone you love.

Our Story

The Sanctuary Christian Counselling Centre known as “The Sanctuary” was birthed out of a vision laid upon Olga Fredericks heart.

The prophecy given to Olga in 2009 was just one of the many confirmations along the way that was given to her. “God is calling you to establish something in a country that is not your own. It is a small seed. It may be something small but it is some big thing that is latent and dormant. It is a vision waiting to be birthed.”

We are part of Global Mandate Wholistic Care Centres (see www.globalcarecentres.co.za). We are also affiliated to the Harare Christian Counselling Centre in Zimbabwe (www.christiancounsellingcentre.net)

We look forward with faith and anticipation to your participating in God's vision for healing in this land through His church as we have a heart for our community and a passion to see all come and feel the love of family.
