I Prayed for God to Help Me Organise My Thoughts for the Right Audience – Edith Muchiri - Impacting lives with Christian Literature

My name is Edith Muchiri, a born-again Christian, a child of God, a mother, a sister, a daughter, and an auntie to many. I am a financial expert with over 24 years of experience in financial management in the financial services sector.

I am the founder of Fetri Consulting, a firm that empowers individuals and entrepreneurs in financial management to achieve financial freedom. I am passionate about empowering people with financial knowledge and helping them to secure good investment plans and solutions.

What I Am Writing About and the Motivation Behind It

I am writing about good stewardship of money and financial planning. The purpose of this book is to help middle-aged people between the ages of 35 and 50 to make good financial decisions, and to understand how to use the various financial products to empower them with financial knowledge to become good stewards of their money in a godly way.

Overcoming Writer’s Block

Yes, at some point I was not sure how to present all the information I had in my mind. Having started this book for individuals between the ages of 35 and 50, sometimes I found myself not clear on what was too much information or what was too little.

In such instances, I took a break from writing, then prayed for God to help me organise my thoughts to be impactful to the right audience. I am still organising my thoughts so as not to broaden the book too much.

Handling Feedback During the Writing Class Journey

I took the feedback positively. I appreciate that others can see more in my work than I can see. I also appreciate the expert review by the mentors and the expert, Dr Muthoni.

As I wrote, I was deeply immersed in the writing and I accept that a reviewer will see inside the book more than I would. When writing, one is in a state of flow, and so mistakes or overthinking happen. Hence, the independent review is very welcome.

Prioritising My Writing Journey and Other Commitments

Time sometimes was not on my side. I found myself lacking time in some weeks and not being able to follow my programme.

I thank God I was able to finish the writing by God’s grace. I had set a timetable for writing but was only able to follow it from week 1 to week 3. After that, I started struggling with deadlines due to my other tasks and commitments. The reminders by the CLC team really helped me to remain on track.

My Experience in the Jade Writing Class

My experience was excellent, very organised, spiritually filled, and very professional. I loved the weekly catch-up classes, the well-organised class presentations, and the guidance to get to the end of the book.

I highly recommend this class to other upcoming authors.

A Word for Aspiring Writers and Beginning Authors

Yes, begin where you are. If you are passionate about writing on a topic to help others, let the Holy Spirit lead you, join the CLC writing classes, and you will meet a team that encourages you to keep putting your thoughts and inspiration to paper.

Closing Reflection

Edith Muchiri’s writing journey is a beautiful reminder that obedience often begins with what is already in our hands. With her wealth of financial expertise, her passion for godly stewardship, and the guidance received through CLC Kenya’s Jade Writing Class, she is shaping a message that will help readers make wise financial decisions and honour God with their resources.

During the ceremony, each writer shared their writing journey, the inspiration behind their book, and the lessons learnt through the mentorship process. The event also highlighted CLC Kenya’s wider mission of advancing the gospel through Christian literature, a mission connected to CLC’s global work across 44 countries.

The CLC Kenya’s Writing Class has continued to grow since its beginning in 2020, raising writers who are not only completing manuscripts but also preparing to publish books that will serve families, churches, communities, and nations.

The 2026 graduating writers were encouraged to move forward into the publishing and marketing phase, with the hope of celebrating their published works in 2027 with an in-person graduation set for 28th November 2026 at Garden Estate.

As the session closed in prayer and thanksgiving, the charge was clear: graduation is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of greater stewardship. These writers carry stories, testimonies, teachings, and messages that can impact Africa and beyond.
