Anajua!

Here's the thing about the man up above. The silent prayers you occasionally make that only you know, that one thing only YOU know you need a breakthrough in, even before it becomes a thought in your mind, he knows it and always goes ahead of you to start working on it - on your behalf. ​​The battles you fight on your own, that no one knows anything about - he's in there with you and all he needs you to do each day is gather your strength and approach each day with faith. HE knows!! Life's gonna come with hurdles and mountains that we'll have to climb day in, day out. Some days we'll be happiest, some days we'll not. Good thing is, you have a past, including yesterday that probably had the most hurdles, those you thought you couldn't handle - but aren't you here today? Alive and healthy? Why do you think that is? He 👏knows!

He hasn't brought you this far to leave you. He hasn't invested this much on you to now say, "well, you're on your own now!" He keeps on getting better, is consistent in his promise, keeps on doing better for you and wants you to not doubt his presence in your life - EVER! He wants you to not worry about stuff but as is human nature, worrying is is like a daily mantra. We're worried about the next moment, the next job, our next source of income, etc but know this; anajua unaworry hata kama humsho. Ye already anajua stuff zinafanya ukose usingizi. ANAJUA!

Hapa mahali uko sai kwa life ndio place ye alisema utakuwa as at this point. Usijicompare na wasee wako mbele yako unadoubt ability zako kila siku. Hii point uko kuna msee anawish angekuwa. Yes, dream big, wake up and go make those dreams come to reality but appreciate where you are now and  what you have NOW. Sai you have the greatest gift in the world, GOOD HEALTH. There's nothing in this life that beats good health. The fact that all your limbs and body parts are working as they should is miracle enough to show you that huyu msee kuna venye uko in his favorite books. Bora sai amekupea ability ya ku acquire the basic stuff on that Maslow's hierarchy of needs, uko tu sawa bro. Haulali njaa. You have a roof over your head & you're fully clothed. Kaa ukijua anajua ... and better days are yet to come!

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'...
