My thank you note

 Image result for bye 2017 welcome 2018The year is fast coming to an end, It's been awesome, a year of bitter sweet memories, some of which I've shared earlier on this blog. It is my utmost pleasure to say Good bye 2017, you made me laugh, you made me cry, but it's time to move on to 2018. It was more than just 365 days,

It's so hard to write down this piece. There's so much to say, I just don't  know what to say. my words are not adequate to navigate through the issues of this year.

 I want to thank  God for loving someone like me actually for loving me. There are times that I think I made you proud and there times I made a fool of myself.  Am sure no one will understand, but all I can say is thank you. For healing me of  my diseases, for watching over me and my family, for having food to eat, a place to lie down and clothes to wear, for never giving up on me even when I chose the world and confidently walked out of your way,  for the days and nights that I was down trodden, depressed and hopeless, for the times I was not even sure if am bold enough to face the next day because of all the worries, troubles, pain and shame, for the times I wasn't sure if I'll have all the things that I have now, for the days my heart was filled with joy and happiness, for the smile on my face, I mean for everything.

As I cross over to the new year, am sure my appearance, complexion, height, race, nationality etc May not change since I have no control over it but I've purposed to change my attitude, character and principles. These are the things am sure about:

1. I don't wanna sing the latest son
I don't want to percolate the crowd
I just wanna make you smile

2. I don't care who thinks I'm right or wrong
I don't care who tries to calm me down
I just wanna praise you now
3. You covered me in the midst of it all
You love me, gave me another chance
You saw my needs when others saw my faults
You forgave me
4. I don't have to listen for my name
They don't have to walk me down the aisle
I just wanna make you proud
5. Should I make the hall of fame
Or they save a special seat
I just hope that you'll be pleased
You covered me in the midst of it all
You love me, gave me another chance
You rescued me
I was going to fall,
You saved me

In short all I want to do this year is to make God smile, I want to praise Him, I want to live a free life having experienced His forgiveness, I want Him to be proud of me, I want Him to be pleased by my speech and actions, I want to enjoy His saving Grace. While at it, let take a second and really ask ourselves what does the Lord require of us today? Is it about the fun and the holiday or is there something  more about it. Micah 6:8 He has shown you, I mortal, And what does the Lord require of you? To acts justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.


This is the start of a new year. We have the chance to change the life or keep the life, that we may have lived in 2017. For the wrong doings that we may have done to others that we can't take back. For the mistakes we've made that we may can't leave or undo. Our Father, Our Lord give us a New Year this January 1st. The chance to change or keep the life that we may have lived before. With a new beginning and a fresh start, full of inspiration and positive thoughts. I hope that we begin this year with an optimistic thought. Gone are the days of regret and guilt, those rooms full of darkness. It's time to move with courage, full of confidence and boldness.


I would also want to thank a special person in my life. The one who changed my perspective on various issues. The  one who has seen my most beautiful side, (having waited patiently). The one who has brought out the best version of me. The one who makes my heart skip a bit. The one I love and cherish every minute. The one who means more than the sun, the moon, the stars and everything on this planet. The one whose smile lights up my blurry day. The one who motivates, encourages and challenges me to be the best that I possibly can in terms of spirituality, parenting and as a social being. The one who am really looking forward to watching the sunset together when our hair is grey. Thank you so much. (I'll share about this amazing human being this 2018)

Thank you for the beautiful friends and family. For my very own daughter who is worth more than all the silver and gold. Thank you for being so  beautiful and adorable. Thank you for challenging me to be a better parent even without knowing it. Thank you for being obedient and for loving God.

Thank you (reader) for taking time everyday to read through my thoughts and experiences. It's my prayer that 2018 will be a year of your renewal and transformation. Remember it's not over until God says it's over.


BE BLESSED THIS YEAR 2018

  It’s been a minute, but guess what? We’re back with another story! A couple of months ago, I was driving home, blasting some loud music. Did I mention that two-thirds of my trunk had speakers? So, even though I was listening to worship music, it felt like I was experiencing it in all caps. Saying it was loud doesn’t even do it justice, but I was enjoying every second of it while trying to navigate through the crazy Nairobi traffic. When I reached Braeburn School, I was supposed to take the first left turn onto Naivasha Road. No sooner had I turned than I noticed my temperature gauge climbing faster than Kipchoge Keino’s sprint time. Then, there was a loud bang and a sudden rush of steam from my engine. My first instinct was to shut the car off completely. Just then, a police officer directing traffic told a few young guys to help me push the car off the road. My next move was simple—you guessed it—I called my husband, told him where I was, and explained what had happened. He re...

  "What's the most remarkable aspect of being married?" This is a question that can elicit both profound contemplation and effortless response. Picture a scenario where you wake up every morning beside someone who feels entirely at ease being their authentic self around you, who greets you with kisses without the slightest concern about whether you've brushed your teeth or not. This is a person who consistently showers you with compliments, or, equally, isn't hesitant to offer constructive criticism about your appearance, making you feel incomplete when such observations are absent. They're the one who frets over your well-being and grows anxious and concerned when you fail to answer your phone. Throughout the day, they remain engaged, demonstrating genuine interest in your daily activities and offering unwavering support every step of the way. When exhaustion and weariness set in, they become your reliable pillar of strength, extending their comforting shou...

  God did you really say ….. This sounds like one of the phrases we use most. Don't feel offended I use it too, more times than I can remember. There are times that my faith is shaken to the core. It becomes easy to doubt God or rather his promises of truth for temporary mental satisfaction rather than wait on Him.  Remember Mary, yes the mother of Jesus, Imagine this with me here. She's pledged to be married, an Angel suddenly shows up and tells her she's going to be pregnant virgin. Most theologians think that she was between 12- 14 years of age by then. She was young and yet highly favored of the Lord. Luke 1:30 But the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdo...
