Trying Times cont...
For a while i have been asking God why? Why all my age mates are 'happily' married or in serious relationships yet for me every time i try one it never lasts a year.And the toll it leaves on my heart is just 'too much.' Being someone who works so hard to make it work, i often end up bruised all over and begging God for another chance.
And so here i find myself again facing the same challenges after dating MM for a while and feeling weak after throwing in all i could to keep it going and now having nothing more to do.
Then after fasting and praying (and still in the process) i find God's reasurance that He has a good plan for me the only solace i have.
I also remember a quote that once came to me that "at the point where we stop trying hard, God takes over when we tell Hi we can't and all the burden is lifted. My heart is slowly turning to normal...

Trying times
In a series of weeks, i have gone through trying moments; from having my car spoil in the middle of nowhere near Mahi Mahiu and having to wait for my God sent mechanic from miles away in Nairobi, to being arrested charged and imprisoned for 3 months only to be bailed out by my Loving sis Chela after spending a weekend in jail to having my job at stake not knowing what shall happen. Yet in all these, i am humbled to know that my faith is being tested and strengthened and with each passing moment i am convicted by Ellen G White's words of wisdom in 'Help in Daily Living' that in as much as possibl, we shouldn't focus on the tribulations and trials so much as to be passed by God's love and mercy availed to us daily.
And so i smile daily knowing that His grace and love far much supercede any trials and temptaion and at the end of the day, we know that God only allows such things to happen to His loved ones in order to strengthen them spiritually.

...A GLIMPSE INTO TOMMOROW
...back in those days...
He met my mum and the rest as they say is .... not History for me, it is actually what has shaped me into who i am. The separation as i'd mentioned earlier didnt hit me back then as i couldn't fathom what was going on... i didn't even know that my Elder brother and sister had been placed under my father's custody while me and my other sister; my best friend, were placed under my mother's care.
To date i can say the situation was a blessing in disguise as i got to travel regularly from Eldoret where we lived with my Mother and Kisii where my father lived....

A GLIMPSE INTO TOMORROW
This week i got a seconded to another department.
Though i know not what the Lord has in store for me in my new office,
I take refuge in Jer. 29:11.
I know Father Has a surprise up his sleeve.
And so i plunge into the unknown not with fear,
But with utmost courage and hope.
For who knew they would be where they are now.
All i know is that;
Few days, weeks, months or years down the line,
I'll look back and say.
Thank you Lord.
For your blessings, grace love and promise.

Long road to inner peace
My life reads like a fairy tale and yet i have always managed to make it through hard times.
All these courtesy of our almighty Lord.
In my early years, my parents separated. I was barely 5 years. I could not register what was happening. But when i look back now, i am sometimes tempted to ask God Why?
My father was such an intelligent individual who at the early age of around 23yrs was going places, having secured some nice employment with VOK the only broadcasting station in my home country kenya back in those days...

First word
I know the plans i have for you says the lord....
This is one of the most comforting verse in the bible n can even be used by atheist for encouragement Jer 29:11.
Come to think of it, are there real atheist?
Let this be a debate for another forum.
There many times i have almost or even given up on life,
So whenever you feel down or low and you still have some little energy left in you. reach out for the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth; BIBLE, and open jer 29;11
