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!

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 ...

With this topic, you know the norm right? I share some quotes I've come across that make some sense to me, well, because not all do. Picture quotes are more interesting to look at and so they'll take most space in this particular post. I will be overjoyed is you left a comment, maybe share one quote that keeps you going? Enjoy!  “It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me." ~Warsan Shire. “Don't assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don't say anything you can't stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel.” ~ Warsan Shire. “Perhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the quality of the people you are loving.”~ Warsan Shire.

The world didn't quite prepare me for the experience that came with this phase of my life. I boast occasionally of how easy it has been for me to grasp and adapt to changes in my life but this one, naah ...I had to readjust, relearn and extensively educate myself. What I'm I talking about, you ask? Motherhood. I am writing this while on my 3rd trimester; 35 weeks & 6 days to be precise. The once subtle baby kicks are now more defined you'd think the baby's made my womb a mixed martial art ring. It feels heavenly every time it happens and I am not joking when I say that I live for them kicks...I could be having a really crappy day but anytime I sit and the kicks intensify, my mood instantly changes!  The reason I started by saying that the world didn't quite prepare me for the journey is because with my many years of schooling and seeking knowledge, I realized that I didn't know much about pregnancy. I was never taught about what to expect in any of the trime...
