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'.

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...

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 ...

What's success to you?

When I enrolled into University, my main goal was to succeed, that’s everyone’s goal at this point really. Time has passed by so quickly and the goal still remains the same. Many are times I tend to lose focus on this goal and I end up messing up big time. Life’s like a mountain, you’ve got to gather the strength to move up to the peak despite the strong wind that will try to block you from getting there. You might reach some point and get tired, or you lose the strength to move on but with your eyes fixed at the peak, all is gonna go smoother than you can imagine. But you've got to have the hunger to reach there, you’ve got to have the desire to acquire what’s at the peak, have fire in your belly, be proactive, strong-willed, optimistic and most of all prayerful. All that I think lies with what YOU think success is. There are gazillion definitions of success but I think every single person should have their own definition of this success we all very much want. What'...
