Monkey see................monkey do!

As I was travelling to work today, I saw bus that operates on our roads stuck in the mad because it was trying to take a short. On looking at it and the situation surrounding it, I got a full picture of just how life is.

Life is never a straight line. Even millionaires like Chris Kirubi and Mrs. Esther Muchemi have said in many of the interviews that we have read in newspapers and other print media that they did not just make it in life overnight. They had to take the stairs and not the elevator.  Life is full of ups and downs; you may decide to take a short cut to make it straight only to realize that if you had taken the other route you probably would have been at a different and better place than where you are at the moment.

That bus tried to take a short cut in order to get to its destination faster. Instead it got stuck in the mad, wasting more time and even money to pull it out. This situation could have been avoided. The other reason that could probably have made the driver to make that decision was because other buses also do it. This is not the only scenario that I have observed. It does happen mostly on our roads during rush hours.

Many vehicles overtake and overlap. Others get caught by traffic police officers for breaking traffic rules and regulations; others get lucky and make it on time without experiencing mishaps along the way.

 When God created us, He says in Jeremiah 1: 5 that “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations”

No matter how long the journey takes, no matter how tiring the period might seem, no matter how many friends you might lose on the way, it does not matter how many enemies you will gain on your way up, take the stairs, do not be like that bus and you will reach your destination.

Do not be a copy cat!

After All, He is Dying: Is There Anything Essential He can Give?

2 Kings 13:14-20a,                   14 When Elisha became sick with the illness of which he was to die, Joash the king of Israel came down to him and wept over him and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!"                   15 Elisha said to him, " Take a bow and arrow." So he took a bow and arrows.                   16 Then he said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow." And he put his hand on it, then Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.                  17 He said, " Open the window toward the east, " and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot!"And he shot and he said, "The Lord's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Arama; for you will defeat the Arameans at Aphek until you have destroyed them."         ...

My Unforgettable 2017 in Review: Part I

Image
The year started off on a good note. My husband and I went to church on new years eve and spend the entire night there. We had a wonderful worship service and returned to our home around 5 am the following morning. It was awesome. We both love God so much and we always want to be in His presence. I have had my own share of failures. It all began in 2012. Before I let you in on the details, I want to talk about God. He is a caring person and His only requirement from us is that we walk in His sight blameless and believe His word, believe that He is a re-warder of those who seek Him. I have loved God since I was a little girl. Then, I didn't understand what salvation was but I loved Him still. I had a great life, went to high school, passed very well and then I was lucky enough to join the University of Nairobi for my bachelors degree...we were not well off so I had to work during the day and attend classes in the evening. The future was really promising. I had my dreams and...

What role do you play in your child’s life?

I boarded a train to head to work this morning, being a Monday, it is expected that we tend to oversleep and hence not be able to make it to work in time if we choose the bus. For this reason, we were really full.   I opened my Bible and started reading from the book of John. I started from chapter 1. On completion, I got an insight to continue. In Chapter 2, Jesus performed his very first miracle. It was at a wedding in Galilee. To be precise, at a place called Cana. There was much celebrations and as we know, food is mostly accompanied with drinks.   Let me quote from the NIV Bible.   John Chapter 2:1-5 On the third day, a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tell...
