The Day I will Never Forget.......

-

 The day I will never forget..... This used to be my most favorite statement while I was in school. Simply because I knew out of the 40 marks awarded for that composition, I could not fail to achieve at least 26 marks and above, by the mere fact that I had such a creative mind and this was one the easiest sentences to begin with your narration. But guess what? The times have changed, and now, I don't look forward to hearing this words ever in my life. As you grow older you realize that there are so many days that you look forward to forgetting but the pain, hurt, betrayal, disappointment, or loss is too much to bear. 


It's been a roller-coaster for the last few months, it's been full of emotions, the good, the bad and definitely the ugly. The are times that I have given up on myself but thank God for His grace. There are times that I wouldn't understand why everything was turning out the way it did. 

In the words of the Late President of Tanzania Mzee Magufuli, He said "whatever happens never lose your Faith in God"

For today, All I want to say is that; there times I've lost my Faith, I have questioned God on allowing bad things to happen, I have gone on strike or if you like silent treatment on God for not coming through when He ought to have intervened in a situation before it escalated too far. I have done all that but guess what am still happy to have chosen to remain with/in God.

John 15:7
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.


When I read this verse I knew that all the answers that am looking for will never come, neither will the closure and healing because I had taken a step back. Remember God says; WHATEVER YOU WISH will be done for you. This is an open cheque for you to credit whatever you desire. I asked God that I would experience peace in the midst of a storm and that I would learn of what He intended me too during that period.

 James 1:2-4 Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

Every challenge that you and I face are not meant to bring suffering and pain but endurance and maturity. It's very difficult endure, actually it's almost humanly impossible but God has a plan all you need to do is to hold on. 

As you read this am sure you clearly remember as if it happened just a few days ago on the things that broke your heart but today God want you to heal from that. Most people have lost their jobs, spouses parents, siblings, children, e.t.c but God says I will restore and wipe away your tears.

Revelations 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

That's the assurance I have today and every other day, everything is just like a passing cloud and soon the sun will shine, soon you and I will remember of this day and not cry about it because you will have healed. I know this might not take a day or a week, it might be months but in His own time He makes it all beautiful. 

The truth is you will never forget this day but God will give you a new meaning to it. 


WITH LOVE

  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...
