When the battle chooses you.💔💔💔💔

Dear Jesus,

Image result for psalms 91imageWe've always been told to choose our battles, don't fight over everything, think if it's worth waging a war over blah blah blah, which by the way is some good advice. It's wise for me to choose the battles when I can, however, what do I do when a battle chooses me, when something shows up on my doorstep and it’s not from Jumia or Kilimall or even Glovo, and I didn't place an order for it. What do I do when the devil drops out something for me to deal with, which I dint directly cause, choose or anticipate.


Am not sure whether I should be worried about the economic terror attacks or a virus that is taking the whole world by storm and causing a mockery of everything we thought we can handle or the life situations that just happen.
Jesus, there's just a lot of things that are happening and to be sincere, at this point I feel overwhelmed. A few days ago the President of Kenya unveiled a lock-down on several operations and services including church services, as in no kesha, no bible study, no visitation, no nothing and a Christian, a citizen, an employee and a parent am just not sure how to deal with everything. 

Everyone is trying to get reason as to how we got here and I just can't explain to my 6-year-old  why she can't go to school and why she can't play around freely with her friends as she used to; probably, it might be simple explaining to her that, but how do I tell her that every time I walk out of the door to go to work that I pose a risk not only to me but to my entire household and surrounding. The scientists and doctors keep telling us that "if you are not immuno-suppressed then you shouldn't be worried about anything" How practical is this? 98% of the entire population in Kenya realize that they are unwell in two ways, one, you either lose consciousness and once you get to the hospital they inform you that; "am sorry sir/ madam but you've got cancer stage IV or HIV or complicated diabetes or two you suddenly drop dead and the post mortem results will now indicate the cause of your death etc. Most of us don’t do health checkups since we either can't afford or just aren’t able to for whichever reason, ignorance included, and that's why am not so sure how healthy we all are now?

God, what am trying to say is everything is just in a mess. We are at point where everyone is for himself and God is for us all. Families are struggling; most of them have no income, careers are in the verge of crumbling down especially now with the issues that are hand, aka "self-quarantine, social distance and work from home" etc. companies are closing down and let's not even talk about the economy right now. 

Your word tells us:2 Chronicles 20:17(NIV)You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’ “and so I will pray, I will pray as if my life depends on it because it actually does. I will pray that you sort out everything, I will pray that you protect us from this virus, that you unite this country, reconcile families and provide for us. As I finish, I just want to say on behalf of the 48 million Kenyans that we are nothing without you.  We will choose to wait on you, Lamentation 3:6 it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. To be hidden under your wings Psalms 91:4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart and wait to see the salvation of the LORD

NB: Thanks for answering my last letter, everything turned out better than I expected.

  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...
