So what???

Life can be really tough on us sometimes

But no matter what we got to grab life by its horns and forge on

I just wanted to encourage somebody out there

Is your candle light flickering??

Is your hope fading??

A wise man once side that we were born wet,naked and hungry then things get worse

So we'd better buckle up,

Fix our eyes on the prize regardless of the distractions around us

We have to adopt an attitude to make it in this life

So my dear

So what your boss tried to put you down??

So what your friends are your foes in disguise??

So what you've failed a test??

So what you didnt get a promotion??

So what the love of your life left you unexpectedly??

So what you haven't found the love of your life??

So what your family isn't the ideal family??

So what your broke??

So what all is not well??

So what??!!!!

Nothing grows on mountain tops

True growth is in th valley

Appreciate the struggles life throws your way

My dear, we waste time sulking and blaming the heavens..

We can thank God for the lil blessings we've got coz it could have been worse

Face each day with confidence

Aren't you a child of the Most High

If birds hack and survive

Why do we worry??

We were blessed with brains

We can change our circumstances with knowledge and wisdom

With God as the captain

We can stand on the ocean without sinking

We can soar high above

My dear

So what the Devil is on your case

Show Him that the Lord is on 24hrs guard

He is on your case day and night

The devil may try to shake your confidence

But you know whom you have believeth

Fix your eyes on Him

He'll prove the devil wrong!!!!

So go out into the world and 'kiss ass'

Conquer and reign

Take over cities

Your destined to excel

You are a winner

Tail mentality is not ours!!!!!

Start getting accustomed to the winning territory

Coz that's what you'll be doing all through your life!!!

God bless.....Win Win Win....

When my words fail..

Dear Lord,

Sometimes words fail me

Sometimes I am silent in Your presence

Sometimes my mouth can't speak as fast as my mind is processing my thoughts

Lord, there are such days

Sometimes such days become such months Lord

Its not that I have nothing to say but I get overwhelmed

Lord,

When my words fail, my tears shall speak for me

Bottle my tears and may they be an offering to you Lord

When I lack words Lord

When my praises go up Lord

May they please You Lord

I want make you smile Lord even in my downside

For God, when you smile on me

You erase my pains and fears

You reassure me of Your love

Lord when words fail me

Let the whispers in my heart speak to You my Lord

Let my worship be to You only Lord

Words may fail me

But Lord, whatever it takes to be in your palace

Here I am Lord

For when the enemy wages war to faint my heart

To rip me of my faith

To smear the blood of hatred on my face,

Of deceit

To inject me with pain

Pain that kills my heart

That makes me numb

Lord!!!

May my power to worship you never cease

For when words fail Lord

I will still look to You

In tears, I will worship You Lord

Your promises shall be my rock

Your word my comforter.

Lord,

I stand still amidst all the turmoil

In your throne room

I will wait on You Father

Looking beyond their covers

I am in a matatu(public service vehicle), and the music is booming seriously so I am peeping through the window. I tell you Eastlands can be interesting. From the side-road mama mbogas, to the jobless corner, not to forget the valued mitumbas by the road side. You never lack something interesting for your eyes to feast on...(for those who don't know eastlands, I'm sure right now your wondering this chick should get serious)

Anyway,stick with me. My point is nigh. As we try navigate the jam on the famous Jogoo Road, my eyes land on a fellow human element. Its drizzling, its cold and this Kenyan is just being Kenyan. She adorns herself in a really short mini minute(note my combination of words) skirt, with daring 6 inch stilettos.Her hair is exotic; very long thanks to the innovation of human hair aka expensive weaves. The make up is daring...but I must say I loved how she brought forth her eyes...must be her area of strength. She is endowed and clearly depicts that through her dressing. She is freezing at the Hamza stage chilling for a mat to take her home i presumed. The aura around this lady is the diva attitude.

My mind began to wonder and question the character of the young lady.I was like, Oh I love the boldness but is it wise to dress like that considering the current weather conditions??Then some brain matter in me thought, Oh no!!!What you advertise is what you get!!! then I thought, typical Nairobi woman.....or maybe she ain't going home....mpango wa side perhaps....And the thoughts escalated further and further long after we had passed by her.

After around half an hour or so, something came to my mind.Isn't that how we lose out on stuff? Not referring to the young lady's side of the teaching(that's for another day) but on my side of the coin!!! I looked and I judged...truth be told, first hand. I did not see any good in her, none whatsoever!!! I saw the outward, I concluded. That's man!!!reality of the matter.

However, when David was being elected King, God said that man looks at the outside but He is concerned with the sincerity of the heart(1 Samuel 16:7)What If I met her one-on-one, I would have missed an evangelism opportunity because of my human weakness. I have to look beyond the covers to reach out. That is the secret!!

If I see her by my human abilities, I fail in my Kingdom mandate which is to go and make disciples of all nations, to baptize them in the name of the Trinity(Matthew 28:18)I have to relate to ones heart, one character to know their story. Through their story, His glory can be manifested.

While God is an interior designer, i seem to be more of a landscapper. Attracted to the outside, blind to the inside nitty gritty details. We have to look beyond the covers my dears. Yes she does not display much to your eyes, yes he seems otherwise in your eyes....leave the judgement seat to God. Its His duty. Our work, is to love without limits, to love them who seem 'unworthy,undeserving' into the kingdom.

If by anything, GRACE abounds because Christ paid it all. They too have a right to approach the throne of grace with confidence so that they may obtain mercy and find grace. So let's quit judging and lets be encouragers of the gospel to all regardless of their outer covering....We didn't do the dying on the cross, the least we can do is to look beyond their covers. They too deserve to be loved and know the giver of life!!!


# His love is stronger than our shame. My lesson for the day. Thank You Lord.# change of heart.

Wise men...wise words!!

1. If it didn't endure it was not love!!! Pastor T

2. Do not fall in love with every good person that comes along. You know you deserve the best, only the best belongs to you.

3. Being different means talking about God when everyone would rather talk about lady gaga!!! Natasha Kimani

4. Half water, half air...technically the glass is full.

5. If sex made a great woman and marriage, then all prostitutes would be highly esteemed and married.

6. Hold a true friend with both hands. Friedrich

7. Never underestimate Jesus because He'll just prove you wrong.

8. Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead. Don't write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now.

9. Something happens when I stop crying and start praying!!!

10. There are habits we squeeze out, others we starve out but some we need to cast out in order to grow.

Be blessed. Come out and be counted

His Love, My greatest blessing

Lord it used to be darkness

I lived my life in blindness

My pride took to my pitfall

My arrogance Lord could not allow my knees to kneel

I lost my way in the woods

I was lost Lord

My lifeboat had capsized

I was dead and gone

Until your love came Lord

Now I sing because of you

A temple under construction

For your love Lord

Is stronger than my shame

Greater than my pain Lord

You loved me

When I was dead, reckless,homeless,tattered and lost

Lord when I found you

I found love

Love that i had never found

Love that i had never received

For all you've done Lord I'm grateful

With you Lord

I have found love

Just what i needed

Immense love just to hold my world together

I love you Daddy

That's my God; Know Him

The Lord will remember me through this all just like Joshua remembered Rahab the prostitute

The Lord will wipe my tears, He promised joy comes in the morning

The Lord will be my strength, He said for when I'm weak He is strong

The Lord will deliver me from this battle, He said the battle belongs to Him

The Lord is ever faithful, the only one I can turn to anytime.

He said He is not man that He should lie

He is faithful even when we are faithless

The Lord will shield me from my enemies

He is my fortress

And even when my life seems chaotic full of storms and uncertain

He is a God of order and He holds my world in His hand

He will remember me and He will restore what the locust has eaten

He has given me power to trample over scorpions

I believe in God even when He is silent

I believe in healing even at my deathbed

I believe in love even when I am alone

For I do not believe in gods carved by human hands

Or in men of flesh and blood

I believe in Yahweh who part the red sea for Israelites

I believe in Jehovah who supplied manna for them

In Jesus who healed the Centurion's Son

In Him, who by the touch of His garment healed a woman with 12 years bleeding God

I have not been tried to the point of death

Neither are my storms extraordinary to God

He is the King of Kings

I believe in Him

He will deliver me

All for the glory of His name

#Being real

God is beyond our understanding

Who can demystify Him??

Full of grace and mercy

When He remembers our sins no more that is grace

Then He blesses us undeservingly

That's His mercy in action

Sometimes God floods us with blessings we dont deserve

And we get used to it

Familiarity breeds contempt they say

Then we take it for granted

We become busy bodies

Too busy for God

We get the pride of life

Arrogance, when deep down we know God may turn tables anytime

We forsake His fellowship

Bibles get dusty

Salvation becomes too religious and shady

We worship the cars we drive

We sin in the cars that God blesses us

Back seats have become beds of sin

The money God saw fit to bless us with

Is the same one we kiss the devil with

We make altars with the devil,

Some we know not off

God says if we are faithful with little

He will entrust with more

To whom much is given

Must is expected

Dont exhalt ourselves

Become small God

Whereas all we are

All we own

Is the Lord's

Let's not grieve God

How we handle our wealth

Is worship before the Lord

I'm just being real with myself, my God and with you

I never want to irritate God

To the point that He gets tired of me and spits me out

I'd rather be applauded by God than men

I wanna be a different 24 year old

I want to make my Dad proud

I wanna be faithful

He uplifts the humble

The proud He resists!!!

Invisible scars

Our words

Our actions

When inappropriately used

Scar the people around us

I like to call such invisible scars

Scars that can't be seen

They ain't like bruises or burns that

We can see the extent of the harm we cause

A wise man said that children show scars like medals

Lovers use them as secrets to reveal

A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh

When a house girl is molested

A child is raped by a father

A girl is hurled at words....words that echo and sap her of today's strength

When a waiter is insulted

A plump girl is mocked because of her weight

When your classmates pick on you

When a husband cheats on his wife

When a mother disowns her child

When a friend betrays another

When the person you love and trust looks you into the eyes and lies

When your lover plays you

Such are the deepest scars etched in ones heart

To open such a heart is to expose ones scars

To expose a wound to cold

So many times we die with such scars

We cry in our beds

We cage ourselves in our pain

We shut the world

we keep hurting

At times hurting souls hurt others

Invisible scars are the deepest of all!!!!

Out of suffering my dear,

have strongest souls emerged.

The heroes of today are the most scarred

The only difference is that they made a decision to turn their scars into stars

I will not be a bad mother because i had no mother

I will not be an unfaithful friend because I was betrayed

I will not be a prostitute because somebody stole my dignity in my childhood

I will not be a player because some boy somewhere took me for granted

I will not take love for granted because I have been hurt before

I will not let others be a victim of my scars!!!

The beauty about scars is that a scar means that a hurt is over

Damage has already been done

The hurt is over

I need to close the wound, heal and be done with

I know it hurts

I have been there

But you keep hurting yourself and others to

You need to rise above such scars

Invisible, yet painful

But God is able to turn it around

He will restore what the locust has destroyed

Let him heal your scars

Let Him shine His light

What the Devil meant for harm

God can turn it around

And the people who hurt you shall bow before you in awe and wonder

They shall know that our God never sleeps

He is never off duty

God is not concerned with your medals, or degrees

He is interested in your heart

Where scars are.

Memories of this age

What are memories?

If not hidden treasures of past occurrences etched in our minds

Vivid pictures that we safely store

That we shall sit on the beach

Or under the moonlight

Or during dinners with our families

And narrate back in the days stories

Stories that will build our children

And who knows transform the world too.

But what memories do we carry around?

What wisdom will we pass on??

what evidence will the heavens write on us??

Memories of this age!!!!

The funny thing about memories is that they ain't fantasies or dreams

Memories are past occurrences

What stories will we have for the products of our generation

Think about the power of your actions

Will we brag of sex with hookers??

Will we brag of being conquerors with women??

Each Friday is a new woman??

Maybe the drinking sprees?

The vulgar talk will do?

Or perhaps how much we've conned people??

Maybe its the mwakenyas in the exam room??

Think about

To your kid, your the hero

Are these the hero stories to narrate??

What kids will we bring up??

Do you know its our responsibility to raise our children in the fear of the Lord...in reverence of the King of Kings

The time is now

The time to create memories of power is now!!

I am tired of being cliche personally!!!

What about purposeful living??

What about self control??

What about self worth??

What about the power of our words??

God says: Rejoice young man in your youth

let your heart cheer you in the days of your faith

walk in the ways of your heart

and in the sight of your eyes

but know that for all these

God will bring you into judgement Ecc. 11:9

God knew man will follow his heart that is deceitful above all

He knew his eyes would lust for the temporary stuff

So He set rules

Not compulsory military ones

But He gave us the free will to choose

Choose ye today what kind of life you wanna believe

Your life will paint your memories

Choose your canvas wisely

Select your brushes with intelligence

Pick your colors wit-fully

Do your painting like the creator

Paint it beautifully.

Make the memories worth the audience.

Siwezi simama bila Yesu!!!

Ufikapo wakati ambapo mtu huzama

Maisha hukulemea

Kilio ndicho chako kila wakati

Alfajiri na jioni wamsaka Mola

Akuinue,

Angalau akukumbuke

Maadui wamekuzingira

Hakuna cha kukuridhisha, cha kukutuliza roho

Kama Ayubu alipoteseka duniani na alimcha Mungu wakati wote

Hatujajaribiwa mpaka tukapatana na kifo

Nitamkimbilia Bwana

Yeye ndiye penzi langu

Maadui wanaposherehekea vita vyangu

Sitamsuta Maulana

Nanyenyekea mbele zake

Nikosapo nguvu

Niangukapo

Nilemewapo

Nikishushwa moyo na dunia

Napata matumaini Calvary

Alisulubiwa juu yangu

Alinifia

Akafufuka

Ili nami nipate uhai na uhai halisi

siwezi simama kwa upweke

Yesu ananishikilia kila wakati

Ata wakati huu ambapo ndugu yangu anaugua

Yesu ni Bwana

Wakati marafiki hawapatikani

Yesu yupo

Pesa haipo

Yesu yupo

Usaliti wa wapenzi

Yesu yupo

Nipo,ju Yesu yu hai ndani yangu

Siwezi simama wima pekee yangu

Lakini, nasimama juu yake Yesu!!!!
