What If

Do you ever wonder what next after life is done? When this fleeting breath leaves your body and your lifeless body is reunited with the very dust it came from, do you wonder how it will be? Will the spongy box they put you in be comfortable? What if you are claustrophobic like I am? Will the space in your new abode in the ground be enough? Will you feel the weight of the soil once it's thrown down to cover your new residence? How will you cope in the darkness 6 feet under? Will you be ready? Will you have accomplished your goals? Will you have fulfilled your dreams? Does it scare you? What will you miss? Will you have any regrets? When you see the grim reaper approaching with the "End" to your book of life, will you scream and kick for another chance or will you confidently let him ink it on that last chapter? Yeah, I know it's spooky and even taboo to talk about death while you are still living but lately I have been thinking of the life beyond. Don't get me...

In Pursuit Of Holiness

This year at  BSF  we studying the People Of The Promised Land {PPL1}. It's an "exciting" study that traces the journey of the Israelites into the Promised Land after spending 40 years in the desert. I say it's "exciting" cause at times when I read how the Israelites acted, I can see myself through and through. It's like a mirror has been held up and I can see an exact reflection of my character. When the Israelites in Egypt cried out to God for deliverance, God raise Moses to lead out of bondage and into the Promised Land. God gave very specific instructions which I must say, He kept repeating over and over. The Israelites were to consecrate themselves and be holy. Leviticus 11:45 " I am the LORD who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy ". Leviticus 20:7 " Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God" . Well, the Israelites agreed to worship the Lord God almighty o...

Waiting Hearts

"I don't mind waiting, I don't mind waiting, I don't mind waiting on the Lord".  Many times I have sang this song by Juanita Bynum but the moment I'm done with that last line, I feel a tinge of betrayal. A case of the lips betraying the heart and I find myself in the situation the Israelites found themselves accused of in Isaiah 29:13 " These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but there hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught ".  Honest truth is that most times, this heart of mine DOES mind waiting but cause over time I have been conditioned to sit tight and wait on God as He comes through, I sort of just play along. If I was to however have it my way of course I wouldn't wait LOL. {I'm sure you also wouldn't, so don't even think of pulling that judgmental card on me} I've walked a mile in these shoes so this prayer goes out to all the...

Gratitude

"Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective", Germany Kent.  The last couple of weeks, I've been on an intentional gratitude journey. I deliberately set out my QT to just sit and reflect on God's goodness and be thankful. As I looked back at how my life has unfolded this year, I was overwhelmed by God's amazing favor and grace. The last 9 months, God has weaved my life in ways I could never have imagine. I have faced situations where I doubted myself & at times was too scared to take the next step but the Holy Spirit urged me on. When God says that He has your life all figured out, trust me HE DOES. Jeriamiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". You may not understand how God works, but you need to just trust Him cause all things wor...

Of New Beginnings

Quick question. Has a crazy craving ever led you to the supermarket where you grab your favorite peanuts? With so much anticipation & syke you hurriedly open the packet and voila, the contents scatter in several directions. To make matters worse, this happens in front of a huge crowd of people so there is no chance of salvaging the peanuts and the only thing you can do is throw a tantrum & scream your lungs out sit down and moan the demise of your very much looked forward to indulgence. This was me not too long ago. I migrated to my own space {.co.ke from blogspot.com} and with all the excitement, this littu head of mine forgot to back up her content. I realized this too late when a year's worth of writing mysteriously evaporated. I shed tears for my lost content. I wanted someone to blame {I couldn't find any LOL}. I was angry at myself for not being wise enough to back up. Most of all I was livid that I couldn't remember what I wrote so there was no chance of...

Back Home - Temporarily

So I migrated from here a little over a year ago and my new space has been nothing but amazing. As they say though, old is gold and I'm back here for a bit as I sort out some issues in my new abode to make it more efficient and more exciting as I plan to incorporate more content. Unfortunately & I realize that now, I should have posted the articles here too. That will happen in future though. Just to ensure that in case maintenance is going on on the other side, the articles are still accessible here. Tuendelee na safari pamoja :-).
