Current Favorite!

Every time I listen to this song my hope for life gets renewed. There's so much happening around the world right now and in our lives that maintaining and keeping faith and hope alive becomes a little bit  hard. Covid-19 has brought about death, loss of jobs, cessation of movement and a complete turn around from what we previously knew as our normal to a new normal that's full of worry, depression, uncertainty and grief, just to name but a few. Some days are good and bearable but others aren't. The choice we have left, among them giving up, is to stay grinding and hoping that tomorrow there's be a new dawn. 

I believe in a higher power. I believe that there's a God somewhere who knows and has bigger plans for us in this and the next life. That's why this song encourages me sana & has been a favorite lately.

Faithful through the ages,God of Abraham,
You're the God of covenant, And of faithful promises,
Time and time again, You have proven,
You’ll do just what you said.

Though the storms may come and the winds may blow,
I’ll remain steadfast, And let my heart learn, when you speak a word,
It will come to pass,

Great is your faithfulness to me x 2,
From the rising sun to the setting same, I will praise your name
Great is your faithfulness to me, When the seasons change
You remain the same, Your faithfulness, it never runs out!

I'll still bless you,
In the middle of my storms, in the middle of my trials, 
I'll still bless you
In the middle of the road when I don't know where to go
I'll still bless you 💖

We don't really know how things are gonna turn out eventually but I believe that we shall all get through this. There have been pandemics in the past and people survived. I want to stick to my hope that we shall too and live to tell the tales of social distancing!

The full song is 'Promises by Maverick City Music featuring Joe L Barnes & Naomi Raine'.

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...

MY VALENTINE

My darling husband 💖, You were worth the wait! Remember when we were just friends, the first time I told you that I have a personal blog; a haven I occasionally dump my stories & thoughts?...to which you carefully listened then asked: “Will you one day write about me on your blog?”  I laughed!! I laughed so hard then told you how for you to feature in my writing you’d have to be out-of-this-world special to me ... to which you thoughtfully responded: “Mercy, never say never!” ….. and then went on a mission to overturn my entire life!! You clever, genius hunk of a man! 😉😉 I’m here today to categorically say that a blogpost is the least of what you, my elusive leading man, deserve! The universe kept saying “The right person will show up, find a path into your heart and know how to hold your love with all the delicateness it deserves, choose you just as deeply as they choose themselves and as you choose them, reciprocate your vibe, match your energy and never make you feel lik...
