I'm here, Lord.

Good morning God.

I know You to be the Source of all that is. I see Your wisdom and Your majesty in the sunrise this morning, in the birds who are singing and in the earth that is waking up to spring. You are the life force energy that moves in, as and through all things. You move in, as and through me.

I come before you today to listen and look for Your guidance. I know that there is a plan for me, that there is a reason for me to be here in this place and circumstances of my life. In my humanness, I cannot see all that You see. In my humanness, I get caught up in emotions that cloud my view. In my humanness, I become afraid and then am unable to move.

So, here I am Lord. It's me, Lord. I am here with You in stillness. I quiet my mind and my body and surrender myself to You. I re-member that I am a divine idea in Your mind. I lose the fear that binds me. 

I affirm:
God is my help in every need.
God in me is Infinite Wisdom. He shows me what to do.

I wait and watch for Your guidance. I am grateful:
  • for your care 
  • for your love. 
  • for family
  • for loved ones
  • for joy
  • for life
Let my eyes and ears be open so that I can hear and follow You.
Thank You, God.


Let it be so.
And so it is.

ROOFTOP

After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there. What made me keep up with the routine was the fact that I knew He was waiting for me and was eager to talk about how far and smooth my pregnancy journey was.   We'd talk about my hopes, dreams and plans for baby in my tummy. We'd discuss my maternity leave plans and among other things mostly just sit in the silence of dawn ...

'For My Beautiful Teenage Girl' ~ A story of when my teenage hormones were off the charts.

As I read through this exceptionally written book by Rawder Kidula & Florah Kidula, I couldn't help but silently laugh at one vivid memory still etched in my mind of a time in my teenage hood when I thought the world, with no shred of doubt, revolved around me. Had I had such a book, my approach to life then would probably have been different, who knows? Now, having visitors was the norm while living at Hanne Howard Fund Lenana compound (aka The Project). Some volunteers would come to either teach us art, dance, boxing, taekwondo, others would come teach us how to express ourselves in English and the ones we'd mostly look forward to were those donors, local and/or international, who'd come with clothes and food. This particular week while we were all home for the August holidays there was a donor, beautiful Miss Sonia, who'd booked to spend her week at the project. She would portion her day in a way that ensured she spends time with all groups of kids, starting with...

QUORA 3: STAKI MKATE!

Q: Has a homeless/street person ever refused food you've offered them? If so, did they provide an explanation? Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, my fellow repeat readers or repeat clients, if you may! Today I have a short story to bless your eyes and ears. Will it blow your mind? Maybe. Will it give you reason to come back here and check out more stories? Definitely!  I assume that most of you my readers are Nairobi residents and if not, you've been here at one point in your life. This is a notably great city with beautiful people, a people with a culture so rich everyone outside it wants to come have a taste. It is a hub of 'unity', or so they say. It's here that the assorted bunch of the various tribes come to link up, all forty two of them. Our relatives from the rurals are fascinated by this city, no wonder they gather around to hear tales of its craziness every time  Nairobians visit home for Christmas. The streets, as usual, are ever buz...
