Here is another deserving young woman of God whom I would love to appreciate in the August month for women.
Dedicated daughter of the most high, one who worships God in spirit and
in truth. I am talking about Ruth Mofokeng. A daughter, a sister, an aunt, a wife-to-be and a friend to many. Never in a day since I have ever met and
known Ruth have I ever seen a frown on her face.

Ruth and her sister and my namesake Faith |
It was a Sunday morning at our Children's Church teachers' Prayer
Meeting when I first met Ruth. I was drawn to her by her warm genuine
smile of which it is very seldom I meet a person who smiles like I do at
strangers. We introduced ourselves to each other. She had just joined
to serve and teach in our church's children's ministry where I also
serve.
Ruth has been such a blessing in my life and she does not know it. She
is one of those people who would just call me unexpectedly and whenever
she did I could not hear it is her. She has this small childlike voice
when she speaks and would refer to me as "ausi Faith. Which in our
culture referring to someone as ausi/sister is out of respect and
acknowledging someone is older than you. Yes I am a big sister to Ruth
as she is as young as Lebo Ledwaba (see previous blog-post). With that
same child-like voice she can sing.
Ruth's singing voice is so sweet and melodic I believe it can turn an
unrepentetive heart to Christ because she herself loves Christ wholeheartedly. I appreciate and treasure the voicenotes
she records for me and sends to me. She would even record herself in a
taxi just for my pleasure. I would play the notes over and over through my phone singing
along with her. Even my 6month old son calms down when he hears a song
she recorded specially for him. He even smiles and hums with her till he sleeps. My
hubby and I had the pleasure of Ruth singing at our wedding. She sang "Golden" by Chrisette Michelle as I walked down the isle.

Before Ruth's voice there is a human being, a young woman who is full of true love
for God and for people. She is the most wealthiest person I know
personally. Wealthy in giving, wealthy in love, joy, peace and
happiness. She has so much to give to those in need. Ruth is one of
those people who would rather go hungry so that another person can have
what she was going to have. She puts others' needs first. She is also a
very humble young woman and I see God lifting her up.

Ruth and our Mam- Bishop Gege Sono |
I forgot to mention, Ruth is not just beautiful inside. She is a
gorgeous dark-skinned beauty with beautiful brown eyes and bright
beaming smile. I know she is feeling shy as she reads this. It took a
man who is acquainted with God to discover her, hidden in Christ and
this young man has truly found God's favour.

Beloved One |
Young, beautiful, dedicated woman of God, how sweet is they voice when
you sing? How wonderful are thy words you pen down when thou write
poems, dedicating thy love to God, bearing thou seeking heart unto Him
who is the Lord....
Ruth is also a poet. She does not just right words that rhyme or stanzas
that flow but she rights truth, love and words from the heart flowing
with her love for God. Young, talented and gifted.

I love this picture |
I love this woman and appreciate who she is in my life and other
people's lives. I know I'm not the only recipient of her blessed being
but many can add and echo their appreciation and experience with her. She is not selfish with the gospel as she spreads it on social networks. Even when I talk to Ruth she speaks nothing feeble but speaks the love of God and lives it as well. May the Lord keep increasing her in Jesus' name.
