My Unforgettable 2017 in Review: Part I

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 I had plans. In those dreams, I was to get married at 27 years but I ended up getting married at 23 years..

I didn't complete my degree, everything came to a standstill in 2012..I got stressed in marriage, I didn't know how to handle infidelity from my ex-husband. So I packed my things and left.

Since then, that is when my struggle began, I was jobless. I couldn't go home because of the shame and the disappointments. I had failed everyone, my siblings, my parents and even myself.

I took all that I had and gave my parents. I resorted to starting over, with no cash but God made a way and very close lady took me in, I call her my mum, because she acted like a second mother to me. I stayed with her for seven months until I got employed.

With a little cash on me, I rented a single room, armed with only a mattress and basket where I used to keep my few clothes, I left. But interestingly, it was during the rounds that I spend looking for a house to move in, that where I met my husband.

How did it go after that.....story loading....

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."                  18 Then he said, "Take the arrows," and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground," and he

Let the Past Go – Forge Ahead!

How was your childhood? How were you treated in your family? You may have had a great upbringing; loved, taken care, full of life and happy. I had a mixture of the two. I had a great life and a bad one at the same time. I have never known who my biological dad was; maybe I may never know him till my last day on earth. Being the first born in the family, this came with responsibilities. I was the care taker of my family. It was not an easy task. In the African culture, your siblings are your responsibility; you look after them like your mother does. Wash them, cook meals for them, and clean their clothes. In the village where I grew up, we had no washing machines, no gas, and no money to buy charcoal. Everything had to be done manually. I had not time to play. It was constant work, work and work. I thank God that I was a clever child, still am. I could understand all the lessons very well in class and I didn’t struggle even when it came to the exams. I remember one day, I was take

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 tells you.” The
