...submission

Hawayu God's people,

 its been a while. I have not been feeling quite well but I trust in the Almighty God that I will be well in Jesus name.

Today, I dont have much to say. I was actually about to sleep, after sleeping my afternoon away. I just remembered something I want to share,because I know, once I sleep... (I cannot actually put a finger on where I heard this from but if you sleep at the wrong time as in the time you are not meant to sleep, you will feel groggy and sleepy all the time until the body adjust again)

yap, that is exactly what is happening to me, at this time, as I write, due to this horrible flu that has just decided to make me feel like a wrecked car (do wrecked cars even have feelings??) and have weird sleeping patterns. You get my point either way. For those who know me, you know how a common reacts on me, you might think I'm suffering from a disease, a disease that I think should be called Kuru's flu because I have never seen someone with just a flu suffer like me. If there is anyone out there or if you know anyone out there, and you have the remedy like Kenedy(I have no idea where that came from...lol) Oh, wait I think I do know...heee McDre right ther....*cough* *cough* (I'm literally coughing like a cow, that is what my mum always tells me whenever I cough). Do cows even cough?? Maybe za Kericho...lol...please help a sister out.

I'm serious people, very serious, I need help. I had this cold, the same type, like two weeks ago!! Same symptoms, same everything...wololo...SOMEBODY HELP ME(insert smallville's theme song)

Back to the main point for today's post, so juzi, we were having Bible study with my friends and then all of a sudden people started digressing when someone made a comment that life is not fair because women are favored more yet we fight for gender equality, ati oh, how can we be in the same class and then the pass mark for girls is reduced and then when it fikaz time for employment we start gender equality, and all that yidi yadi yada, before I go on, I never fight for gender equality, so just you know, that is my opinion. Because, I want a man who is going to be able to pay for my salon fee without complaining as I will take care of his/our kids and cook for him good food whenever he wants it. If it was still possible, in this age, I would not mind being a house wife. If my dad sees this, I will be skinned alive.(Hiyo pesa yote nimelipia university ni ya nini si ungeniambia mapema!!!) I can just imagine....

 Both sexes being present, the kind of debate that went down...

ok, i'm kinda exaggerating but you get my point, but i'm normally the person who does not argue ( my boyfriend calls me spoiler, mee ndio hu spoil party, I dnt think so) but if u just decide to touch my last nerve, hell will break loose.( I have no idea why people use that phrase coz if hell breaks loose one day, ehem, trust me, you will not like it) so I take back my words...if you touch my last nerve, you will see the other side of me, and there is a reason why it is rarely seen. But that is besides today's point...AGAIN!! 

Since I do not normally participate in arguments, I like sitting there just to listen, watch and cheers people break each other's necks.hehehehe, laugh my lungs and eyes out then i'l be the one to tell the story, full edition

 because I saw all the action.

This time round, for some reason, I decided to listen to them, normally me huskia tu, and something really interesting caught my ears( satellite ears to be precise).lol

In the book of Ephesians chapter 5 verse 22 all the way to verse 33

  ²² For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. ²³ For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. ²⁴ As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.   ²⁵ For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her ²⁶ to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.^[b] 27He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault. ²⁸ In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself. ²⁹ No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church. ³⁰ And we are members of his body.   ³¹ As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”^[c] 32 This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. ³³ So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

After reading that, have you seen the way the Bible, is insisting, not me, the Bible, the word of God, is insisting on how a man MUST love his wife?? Just go back and check how many times it says that...in fact lemme underline for you, it says that 'four good times' and is there a place written woman love your man??

I do not think so but I stand corrected just in case my Bible is playing tricks on me of which I highly doubt.

The ONLY thing us women are told is to submit...hiyo tu...which comes hand in hand with respect.

I mean, if you actually submit to this guy that means you respect him ama?

Men, please dont crucify me, sijatumwa na FIDA or any female organization but I represent what the word of God says. Women learn to love easily more than men. For a man to submit?? That is his ego right there...GONE!! And that is why I respect those men who who genuinely lift up their hands in church as a surrender to God, that takes a lot of guts and loss of pride for them to do that.  I am speaking from my point of view, a woman's point of view, I mean if a man loves me na anipende na roho yake yote, and he actually shows it and means it ata kama I did not love him way before, it going to be easy for me to submit and slowly the submission will grow to love. But at the same time do not let your love be more that the love you have for God.

God's love should always be first because it is the greatest love because it never fails

For the Married men, advice, penda huyo bibi yako, there is a reason why you chose her to be your wife. For those who are heading there, do what pleases God and not man. I have a dream that one day, I will get married, I usually joke with my friends that Jesus has to come back after I have gotten married, God, niko seriuos, I have to have this kind of man you describe in your word, and have seven kids( btw, i was told that men do not care how many kids you have..if this true?...i think i am set), not that I'm not happy but ningalipenda kuexperience hili pendo. God knows the desires of your heart.

But in the end, all that matters is your will, oh God. May your will be done.Thats all I had, just think about it and let me know hat you think.

I have to sleep now, my nose is blocked(how does this happen? what causes it?) I do not mind a running nose, a blocked one is so uncomfortable but I pray that by morning, all is going to be well in Jesus name.

Love y'all

xoxo

I will wait for you

Aloha God's people?

I'm hoping y'all have been keeping in it fresh like cucumbers and holy like we agreed on. I have also been trying to though it has not been an easy task provided the circumstances that I study at an university where guys call it Sodom and Gomorrah of  which I  really do not understand because looking at the world we live in?? It's all Sodom and Gomorrah. But YES WE CAN.

 I bet you agree with me. With all the drama that has been going on in Kenya "TOP STORIES" and i'm not naming names less i'm told i'm judging besides I know y'all know what I'm talking about. Speaking of judging, I'm going through a lot... struggling in this area but  i'm working on it, in Jesus name. One question though, What is the difference between judging and rebuking? Well, thats a storo for another day. Think about it.

This week has been an amazing one. I have tasted and seen what the Lord has done...beautiful creations I tell you. Goodness...got distracted for some moment there...buga buga buga!!(FOCUS)

 Anyways, back to the point of today's post, I have been listening to a lot of spoken word of late and the one I will share today made me emotional. Yes, you heard me, emotional. I almost....ALMOST shed a few tears here and there...not tears of sadness but of happiness.

I'm a G, only cry when it is really necessary, like when you break a nail or hit your toe against a sharp edge or that one for the elbow, waaaaaa kwanza that one for the elbow? Auwi...the thought of it gives me goosebumps.

Today, I was talking to one of my besties Brayan, 

...nicest guy I have ever come across, ladies..if u want his number,(ehem as u can see, the Lord has blessed him) mnaweza niona kando...with some money like this...lol jk, he's been stamped, sealed and taken. aaaargh, back to my story, he really keeps me in check with reality and  I came to realize that I have solo-phobia(assuming you know what it means)... OK i knew I kinda did but i was in denial and after doing some soul searching and deep thinking, the florescent bulb finally lit...and came to a conclusion that we at times look for love in all the wrong places!! #victim number one mimi. 

 As human beings we always look for things that make us happy, I do, even though at times they disappoint  but you make yourself believe that its all going to be OK and things will be back to normal of which in the end it will....maybe, but in reality its not-at the moment or it won't because maybe, just maybe, the damage is done and its too late and its permanent. I donno if you get me but I pray God will give you the wisdom to understand what i'm trying to pass across....AMEN?

The poem below made me think about my life, and how I would want it to be, my way or God's way. I realized that I have always wanted things to go my way but in the end, it is God's way that matters! It's a poem by a beautiful woman, Janette..ikz aka genetics, who has made a choice to follow Christ.

I was touched and have purposed in my heart to be like her and David, people after God's own heart. be blessed...

So it seemed, that it was cool...cool, for everyone to be in a relationship but me..

So I took matters into my own hands… and ended up with him

Him who displayed the characteristics of a CHEATER, a LIAR, an ABUSER, & a THEIF

So.. why was I surprised when he broke into my heart?

I called 911, but I was cardiac arrested for aiding and abetting,

Cause it was ME who let him in…

Claiming we were “just friends”..

It was already decided for me by the first date, that even if he wasn’t!

I was gonna make him ‘The One’..

You know… I was tired of being alone,

And I simply made up in my mind, that it was about that time so I decided to drag him along for the ride,

Cause I was always the bridesmaid & never the bride..

A virgin in the physical, but mentally just a grown woman on the corner in heat!

Who was tired of the wait!

So I was gonna make him ‘The One’.

He had a… form of Godliness… but not much..

But hey, hey I can change him! So (honey) I’ll TAKE him, I mean he’s close… enough

Ready to sell my aorta for a quarter, not knowing the value of its use to me

Arties so clogged with MY will, it blocked HIS Will from flowing through me

So, I thank Christ that His blood pressure gave this heart an attack,

That flatlined my obscured vision, put me flat on my back

Through my ignorance He sawed,

Through my sternum He sawed & cracked open my chest

TO transplant Psalm 51:10

A new heart & a renewed right spirit within!

So now I fully understand,

Better yet I thoroughly comprehend,

How much I NEED to wait… for You.

See, the bad thing is that I knew he wasn’t you from the beginning..

Cause in the beginning was the Word

And he didn’t even sound or shine like Your Son

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks,

And all he could whisper was sweet, empty nothings –

Which meant NOTHING.

He couldn’t even pray when I NEEDED him to

Asking him to fast would be absurd!

So forget about being cleansed & washed with water through the Word…

But I know You.. ♥

You were already praying for me

Even never having met me

Let me assure you, I will wait for you.

I will no longer date, socialize or communicate with carbon copies of you

To appease my boredom or to quench my thirstiness I have for attention

And short-lived compliments from ‘sorta kindas’.

You know…. He ‘sort kinda’ right, but ‘sorta kinda’ wrong?

His first name LUKE,

His last name WARM.

I, I won’t settle for false companionship

I won’t lay in the embrace of his arms,

Attempting to find some closeness,

But never feeling so far apart cause, I just wanna be held

Cause ♫”all I gotta do is Say” No!

NO more ‘almost sessions’ of ‘almost coming close’

Passing winks & buying drinks,

I’ma, I’ma, I’ma flirt!♫

Who flirts with the ideology of,

‘Can you just tell me how much I can get away with & still be saved?’

NO more.

I’ll stay in my bed… alone, and write poems, about how I will wait for you

He won’t even come close,

Our fingers won’t even interlock

We won’t even exchange breath

Cause I have thoughts that I’ve ‘saved as’ in a file that God has only equipped you to open.

I will no longer get weighted down,

From so-called friends & family talks,

About the concern for my biological clock

When I serve the Author of Time.

Who is NOT subject to time,

But I’M subject to Him,

He has the ability to STOP, FAST FORWARD, PAUSE, or REWIND at any given time…

So if we could role play,

You would be Abraham & I would be Sara

Or you can be Isaac & I can be Rebecca – a servant’s answered prayer

I am bone of your bone, flesh of your flesh,

Made up of your rib Adam!

And once we meet, like electrons

I will be bound to your nucleus, completely indivisible atom.

We even speak the same math: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, which really equals 1 if you add Him.

We were all created in His image,

But you have the ability to reflect, project & even detect the Son.

If I were to explain what you looked like,

You would have to look like a star,

A son of the Son..

I would gain energy simply from the light on me.

I would need you , in order to complete my photosynthesis

I await your revelation, but once again from the genesis, I will wait for you ♥

And I will know you… because when you speak I will be reminded of Solomon’s wisdom,

Your ability to lead will remind me of Moses,

Your faith will remind me of Abraham,

Your confidence in God’s Word will remind me of Daniel,

Your inspiration will remind me of Paul,

Your heart for God will remind me of David,

Your attention to detail will remind me of Noah,

Your integrity will remind me of Joseph,

And your ability to abandon your own will, will remind me of the disciples,

But Your ability to love selflessly & unconditionally will remind me of Christ.

But I won’t need to identify you by any special Matthews or any special Marks,

Cause His word will be tatted all over your heart.

And you will know me, and you will find me,

Where… the boldness of Esther meets the warm closeness of Ruth.

Where the hospitality of Lydia is aligned with the submission of Mary,

Which is engulfed in the tears of a praying Hanna.

I will be the one, drenched in Proverbs 31… waiting for you.

But to my Father, my Father who has known me before I was birthed into this earth

Only if you should see fit…

I desire Your will above mine,

So even if you call me to a life of singleness,

My heart is content with YOU – the One who was sent.

YOU are the greatest love story ever told,

The greatest story ever known

You are forever my judge & I’m forever Your witness

And I pray that I’m always found on a mission about my Father’s business

Oh, I will always be Yours!

And I will always wait for You Lord, more than the watchmen wait for the morning…

More than the watchmen wait for the morning… I WILL WAIT ♥

You see why I was telling you I almost cried... This is what I want to happen in my life, wouldn't you? 

I'm sure dudes are wondering how does it applies to them? Wouldn't you want to a godly girlfriend who will turn out to be a godly wife as proverbs 31 says? Isn't she worth waiting for?

For chics, wouldn't you want a godly guy who has been described above? 

Isn't he worth waiting for?

The Lord knows the desires of our hearts but its His will that matters. 

On a light note:

There were 11 people - ten men and one woman - hanging onto a rope that came down from a helicopter.

They all decided that one person should get off, because if they didn't, the rope would break and everyone would die.

No one could decide who should go, so finally, the woman gave a really touching speech saying how she would give up her life to save the others, because women were used to giving up things for their husbands and children, giving in to men, and not receiving anything in return.

When she finished speaking, all the men started clapping.

As always, I love y'all but God's love is the Greatest...xoxo

You can leave your comments below and let me know what you think.

...another angle of the Lord's temple

Hey God's people? I believe and trust that y'all are well. How was your Monday? I hope it was aight and that you kept it HOLY.

Today, i'l just share some poetry/spoken word with you guys.

THE BIGGEST LOSER


If you do not control your eating habits, you eating habits will control you.
Look at my gut for example,
I have love handles like monkey bars that kids dangle with from a play grounds

Flabs spilling over from the side my what used to be waist line...
I have lack of discipline stretch marks that mark my elastic truths when I would to stretch my lies to satisfy my gluttonous excuses
Every time I would drive home from work or every time I would drive home from church I would think, "What do I have a taste for?"
Never took the time to watch my mum cook, so I settled for fast food.
You know, let say its catered by a patience.
"Welcome to Wendy's! What can I get for you today?"
"Can I have two cheese burgers, two fried pieces regular doggies(donno if thats the spelling), no sauce please, a small fry and a small chocolate fros-tie with a diet coke as if thats gonna make a difference

"Would that complete your order?"
"Yes, please."
Put forward as total as I would, total my body like a car wreck
Every time I would let my taste buds do 99meals per hour in the fast food lane dented to a brick wall called HIGH CHOLESTEROL
Treated my body like a junk yard when I should have been treated my body like a temple
I know I'm not the only one that feels conviction when I drive up that second window.

But yet...I will let my flesh get the best of me not realizing that gluttony is Satan's secret recipe
It was like every time I was depressed, I would eat to defeat my feeling of feeling depressed
For once I started to physically address my figure was getting bigger, I would start to get depressed again
Every time I would look in the mirror and see my belly stick out further than my chest again
Best friends and co-workers teasing me while gluttony was eating me
While laugh and make jokes about it like I'm doing in this poem but everyday feeling like I'm going to get a heart attack secretly

Because I fell in love with food, became gluttony's baby
Thats when Satan started spoon feeding me lies,
"Its getting too hard to get started!"
"You might as well not do it, you are too fat!"
"You cant loose it!" and the one thats the worst,
"You've done such a good job so far, one burger won't hurt.."

You are right, one burger won't hurt, one burger may kill you like a heart attack waiting to stroke more than your ego after it fills you
Making me feel like a jacket box of dogged doughnuts every time I hop in and out of Burgers Kingdom
Because gluttony was a dairy queen that gave me a hearty with the hooters and I could not rally to check 'em
Because this cheek...Adam's apple had me stuck until one day...
God showed me that my body is a golden carrel, not a piece of harper eye or 'churches chicken'
Never really wanted to read the book of Daniel because I was too scared at the conviction of fasting with him
Its kinda funny how they call it fast food yet it slows our metabolism.

Now i'm not saying that if you are fat you are going to hell?
But the realization I came to was that...
If I can't take care of the body that God gave me, then how am I going to take care of his body as well?
But its hard because we live in a world
Where we are no longer thankful because convenience has desensitized our patience
We sit at restaurants not in mind with the preparation it takes
As we greedily anticipate stuff in our faces with food
We almost eat our food like objects not different from hookers in the projects
To the point where the only thing that our fast food eating habits and saying 'Our Grace" has in common is that they are processed.

.......Its sad that gluttony has gotten so bad that we almost take short cuts in prayers to indulge in it
"Jesus wept. Amen!" Anything longer than that...
I know i'm not the only one
C'mon, we be like, "Jesus wept. Amen!" anything longer than that, "...ehem!"
Less somebody say "Dear Lord, I thank you for this day.." people thinking at the back of their minds
"Would this dude hurry up and pray, I'm hungry!"

So we starve God's glory to fulfill our tummies.
Coz our flesh got the munchies and we are high off the smell
How much longer will you let your taste buds abominations take a bite out of hell???
Don't let the fact that something tastes good be an excuse for you to pick out all the time
Because if it is, just remember that even Satan can use fast food to cast his pearls to your swine

If this poem is about you, like it is me
And you've began to loose faith at you ability to loose weight
But you want to eat healthy or restart to get fit again
I'm here to tell you that God has not given you a spirit of fear not to do it but of power, of love and of self discipline
The power to say that, "Starting right now, I'm gonna eat right!"
The love of my body to say that I'm going to treat my body the same way I expect to treat the body of Christ of self-discipline
To say that God has not given me a spirit of timidity, but of power, of love and of self-discipline is what's going into me.
I'm here to tell you that ...YOU CAN DO IT!
Even though Satan is saying that you are too fat... YOU CAN DO IT!
Even though Satan is saying that you can't make to the gym... YOU CAN DO IT!
Even though Satan is saying that you are too lazy... YOU CAN DO IT!

Because if you body is the temple like God says it is and you believe Him, then prove it!
Because if you body is the temple like God says it is and you believe Him, then prove it!
Because if you body is the temple like God says it is and you believe Him, then prove it!

Because if all that weight is too much for your body or you spirit to carry...then
                                                 LOOSE IT

These are not my words but its like he (Karness, a man of God and a poet) just came into my heart and saw what I was going through and I believe i'm not the only one. If you get to read it and know someone else who it may help, pass on the info.

 P.s If you want to check out more of his poems u can go to www.p4cm.com
 thats it for me today. I love y'all but God's love is the what?....the GREATEST!!
...keep it holy...
Blessings

“A Sunday well-spent brings a week of content.”

Exodus 20:8-11

 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,  but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

...so I'm hoping that y'all kept it holy today, went to church especially the Barcelona fans, to thank God for the victory. You know we meant to thank God during the bad times and good times, so wasee wa Man U, you have always won that cup it was Barcelona's time, i hope u went to church too. Speaking of soccer, I saw something interesting today. There was this couple in their car, the man was wearing a Barcelona jersey and his wife (assuming she was his wife) was wearing a Manchester United one and from the look on their faces

I am going to assume, things did not go well ...lol. I just found that interesting. Is this what soccer can do to people?? May God help us.

As for me I went to church, awesome time, the sermon was on fasting? Do you normally fast?? hmmmmmmm, thot so. when it comes to matters of food...O-o. Just a random question, do guys eat to live or live to eat??

 In the afternoon, I went to see a very close pal of mine in hospital. He has not been feeling well for quite some time but I believe and trust in our Almighty God that He is going restore his health, how else would we know that our God is a healer unless he heals?? I'm a witness and proof that He has done that so many times. Remember what I told u jana about prayer..tuendelee kuomba.

 Pray for yourselves and others. I do not have much to say today. I need to sleep early so that I can get me some beauty sleep coz u know we all need to keep it beautiful everyday ama? 

Anyways, I would like to share some few word from the Bible. Psalms 93:5, Your status stand firm: holiness adorns your house for endless days, O Lord. 

The key to God's eternal reign is his holiness. God's glory is seen not only in his strength but in his perfect moral character as well. God will never do anything that is not morally perfect. This reassures us that we can trust him, yet it places a demand on us. Our desire to be holy(dedicated to God and morally clean) is our suitable response. We must never use unholy means to reach  a holy goal because God says, "Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am Holy" ( Leviticus 19:1,2)

I'm sure you must be thinking, how can we be holy like God, thats like impossible...but I believe it so possible though I agree it aint an easy road but kama King David aliweza, and the way he had so much drama in his life. Just imagine, sijui he stole someone's wifey, bad manners, then killed her husband plus many other evil things but you know what, David was a man after God's own heart and like I always say, that right there is wanting to live a holy life. He repented from deep down his heart and God was with him.Having God's heart is being holy? I am imagining if i was God, si ningekuwa nimeuwa watu wengi, from the friends who have disappointed me and wronged me to the boyfriends who have hurt me...ehem, goodness..but I guess that is why me si Mungu..ha ha.

But then again, let us not pretend to be holy. I must confess that i have been a victim of this a couple of times of which i am not proud of myself.

For those who love spoken word or are newly addicts like me you should try and listen to this one right here, "does anybody know that you are a Christian" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnB02zrhcXk

It made me think a lot about my walk with Christ. "...does anybody know that you are a Christian by your actions or does everybody think you are Christian because you are acting.." AWESOME stuff I tell u,

its by this organization thats called Passion for Christ Movement,I encourage you to check out their website some time...inspirational stuff. 

I hope this will make your week be of content and of God.

KEEP IT HOLY!! :)

Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this. I ask You to minister to their spirit. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence to work through them Where there is tiredness or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, guidance, and strength. Where there is fear, reveal Your love and release to them Your courage.. Bless them, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name. Amen

GOD changed the status of David from a shepherd boy to king of Israel , Esther from a slave girl to a Queen and Joseph from a prisoner to the first (and only foreigner to become) Prime Minister of Egypt .
That same God will give you a new designation very soon in Jesus name. 

I love y'all but God's love is the greatest.

You can leave your comment below, i'd really appreciate it.

...#thelittlethings

I'm trusting that everyone had a beautiful day. Guess which song is running or is playing through my head...Ok...fine....I know you can not guess even with the slightest of clues so lemme just tell you anyway...Kirk Franklin's song "I smile" :)

That song right there should be 'a must listen to' every morning all thanks to my bestie, Maryanne a.k.a mariru

 ( for those who are not kikuyus like me it means sweetheart), she's lives by  the true definition of that name. You know like when you here someone is called Bubbles, you expect her to be all bubbly... yap, thats what I mean. 

Aint she pretty?? For the men who what her number or hook up...unaweza ni ona kando..lol jk, you have to be like Christ to win her heart...#true story.

 So, as I was saying, y'all should be listening to this song(  it not loud, angelic voices, the right tempo for doing a morning dance...kuchangamka tu) as you take breakfast or as you dress for school or work or wherever you do when you wake up, after "the" prayer of thanking God for letting you wake up and all. I slept at 4a.m knowing that I had a class at 9a.m(the wrong choices we make in life...tsk tsk tsk)

 meaning three hours of intensive sleeping which wasn't helpful at all. Before I went "to bed" jana, I told mummy to wake me up....because mimi na usingizi...ehem, I dread the day I will start working, and to make matters worse but I still think its good...for now. I'm in a school where you can choose the time you want to go for class. If I tell you my weekday schedule...you might start judging me... he he. Its just unfortunate that this Saturday class was a must have, I had no choice on this one but someone told me, when you get a sato class, its a sign that your finishing school...yipee!! :)

 I like sharing many stories and being a girl, it does not get any better, I have to explain in detail so bear with me when I get side lined at times, but i'm working on it, dont want you to go all yawning on me.

 Back to the #truestory, I put the alarm to wake me up 7:30a.m which I will have like 45 min to get ready for the day and bounce to school. P.s I never hear the alarm so I dont even know why I bother putting it but maybe because I'm hoping that one day...one fateful day....I will...be able...to hear it.(insert Obama's voice). 

After I put my head down for a few minutes, I know it was a few minutes, my phone rings....walalala!!!! Guess who was calling...MRS RUTTO. I struggled to look at the time and it was 8a.m then she goes, "kwani leo kumeendaje( sensing all the sarcasm in her voice), you are not going to school? ebu check the time" I can not remember what happened after that coz i blacked out for a serious  30min THEN... I got really upset when mummy decides to bang..not knock..BANG on my door. You can imagine the shock, the confusion, I thought tumekuja kuibiwa leo. 

And she couldnt stop till I opened the door...thats tough love right there. Bado nampenda, since it was 8:30 I did not even bother doing things in a hurry because either way, I was and will be late and worse my back still hurt. I acquired a new walking style, u should have seen me today...#sigh. I tried taking the shower haraka then as I was dressing up I decided to listen to the jams(multi tasking.. aha) that Mariru had given to me the previous day and the first song to play was the 'I smile" song, I listened to it and I was like, how appropriate... it goes, "this song is for you....today is a new day, but there is no sunshine, nothing but clouds and its dark in my heart and it feels like a cold night...today's a new day...but where are my blue skies, where is the love and the joy..." ( you should listen to it for yourself) and it goes on, on how you should always smile even though your day has started bad like being late for your Saturday 9a.m class. I changed my attitude and tried to at least hasten  my speed of doing things. Did everything in a flash and in a split of a second, I was out of the house. After walking a few meters away from the house in my head... I was like God, si leo u make my lecturer be late for class and at the same time leave early so that I can be back home and sleep my afternoon away?? #purebliss, then I started looking for my kabambe(phone) and alas, it wasnt there, aaaaaaaaaaaaargh and I could not imagine a day without it., so I run back home (Rudisha style) and I remember leaving the house at exactly 9( believe me I did all that in 30 min)

I rushed to my room, picked the kabambe, went to the bus stop and the only matatu going to town had three guys inside, and it could not leave until it was full. Since I had no other choice, I had to enter and I continued praying the prayer for making my lecturer late. After like ten minutes the mat was full. Btw, one day I will share my matatu stories with u...everyday single day that I use one something funny or annoying has to happen, like today, this guy enters the mat and as it was leaving, he tells the kange..."si msime hii retio yenu kama haina sauti poa" with a heavy kale accent( i'm not hating coz I am a proud kale... its just that...) I could not hold my laughter...LMAO :-D plus it was beautiful day that needed a good laugh. 

Guess what people, when I reached class, like at 9:30 I find some guy who is not our lecturer and it seems like he had just entered class because he was telling the other guys that our lecturer could not make it for class but he will be teaching us. You should have seen my face... glorious!!

So I take my sit, the lecture goes on till ten, then the new guy asks, "do you guys want to go for a break or should we finish whatever i had planned for you so that you can leave early..lets say at eleven...?" You should have seen my face again... super glorious!!!!

Thank God that everyone thought like me..genius classmates, we all agreed that we can wait so that the class can end early mind you, its a class that would normally end at one o'clock in the afternoon, but you know what, I know that this was God, honestly, or how else would you explain such an epic day?? So I told God, thanks for being so considerate. and you can imagine how I ran back home for the afternoon siesta and now i'm feeling kinda better, my back hurts less...can i get an AMEN for that!

THANK YOU! anyways, i'm sure u might be wondering all that for just that. My point today is that, 1.God will always answer your prayers. 2. God recognizes the little things you do or say to Him, even though they seem like jokes I mean He is the author of humor anyways. 3. God understands his people and finally, let us always learn to pray at all times, for the food that we eat, for the guy sitted next to you in a matatu, your friends, your family, for your lecturer, for your schoolmates, for your boyfriend/your girlfriend,  just pray for anything that come to your mind at that time that u decide to take a few minutes and talk to God. There is a saying ...yaani msemo..."When you pray for others God listens to you and

blesses them, and sometimes when you are safe and happy remember that someone has prayed for you. I am living proof of that.

In Psalm 50:15 it says "Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." as well as in Matthew 6:5-12 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. "This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 

Let us learn to pray guys!!

Its getting late, and I need to sleep early so that I can make it for church kesho...yes, lazima watu waende church hakuna story za bedside baptist

Take care of yourselves, ile team ilishindwa...poleni sana..kuna next season. I love y'all but God's love is the greatest.

Food for thought: As you might remember, the head of a company survived 

9/11 because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was 

His turn to bring donuts. 

One woman was late because her 

Alarm clock didn't go off in time. 

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike

Because of an auto accident. 

One of them Missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take Time to change. One's Car wouldn't start. One couldn't Get a taxi. The one that struck me was the man 

Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, 

Took the various means to get to work 

But before he got there, he developed 

a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. 

That is why he is alive today.. Now when I am --Stuck in traffic , --Miss an elevator,-Turn back to answer a ringing telephone ... --All the little things that annoy me. 

I think to myself, this is exactly where 

God wants me to be at this very moment.. 

Next time your morning seems to be 

Going wrong , You can't seem to find the car keys, 

You hit every traffic light,

Don't get mad or frustrated; 

It May be just that God is at work watching over you. 

May God continue to bless you 

With all those annoying little things 

And may you remember their possible purpose.

EVERY TIME IS PRAYER TIME
