Hello, old friends. And hello, new ones. I’ve been gone a while. Life happened — the kind that doesn’t ask permission. Work, children, a husband, dreams in progress, and that very Kenyan tradition of carrying everything with a smile and praying nothing cracks. But here’s the thing about food: it always brings you back. I cooked githeri last Tuesday. Not the boring kind — my kind. The kind that…

‭‭Psalms 1:1-6 NIV‬‬ [1] Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, [2] but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. [3] That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do…

Father, Clear my sleepy head and fill my mind with expectation. Awake my slow body & energize my heart with love in action. Ignite my spirit & set this day on fire with promise. Make the ordinary extraordinary. Engage me, show me your kingdom alive. Help me to see that every waking moment is full of promise because of You. In Jesus name, Amen. Originally posted here.

Yes!!! That’s me…..doing my hair. I can also dress sharp and speak “English of nose” and make a killer presentation. Reality is I can’t walk about in the state I am in the photo because I am a work in progress at that time. I have to be done polished, sure and ready. The only exception is in case of an emergency that’s life and death then I become second and the life and death situation…

Faith will offend your mind and its limits of thinking. It forces a higher level of possibility to be introduced to you that you have absolutely no hands on except that you’re in Christ.It operates at mental state : the substance of things hoped for, hope works with your mind and heart not your body. Then it must be that Faith is the arena of your victory through Christ Jesus. You have won, you…

The Apostle John was the Apostle whom Jesus loved. By now Apostle John was aged, an old man however Domitician the Roman Emperor was full of hate towards the Apostle. According to Church History, he loathed John to the exent of putting him in a cauldron of boiling oil and boiled him alive. Interestingly, John did not die. As if that was not enough, Emperor Domitician ordered him to be exiled to a…

I hope the title caught your attention, however it is just by pure chance how I coined it. Here in Kenya, and maybe Africa generally, we attempt to deal with the daily stresses of life through comedy. However, the jokes are mainly contextual. So, if you don’t get some of the jokes, you need to catch up with current affairs on both political and social platforms. Anyway, adulting is adulting but…

It is either you know and for sure you do know what you claim to know. You think you don’t know but you actually know. You know that you don’t know. You think you know but you actually do not know. Keep away from the last category. Such are unapproachable and, even worse, unreachable. He who trusts in his own heart is a [dull, thickheaded] fool, but he who walks in [skillful and godly]…

Remember that it is the mercy of God that has brought you this far. Your intellect, networks, skills etc. barely scratch the surface. It is God who gives and He that takes away. Blessed be His holy name. Job 1:21. Learn to pray. Pray over the most minute things that both annoy you and give you pleasure; the same applies to big things. Prayer can be 30 seconds but it can also be 3 hours. Plan out…

What we should do....

Pray that the Lord your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.”Jeremiah 42:3 Dear Lord, I ask thee. To tell me where to lead my thoughts and what I should do with the ones He approves. To tell me where this hard path in life leads and what I should while on it To tell me where this parenting assignment leads to in Your plan and what I should do to ensure success. To tell…

I am confident that I have walked on water.

I am confident that I have walked on water. I hope this has caught your attention. Yes, I have been walking through turbulent times. I have kept my eyes on the Lord most times. Sometimes, I have kept my eyes on myself. Some other times, I have kept my eyes on the storm. I have kept my eyes on the storm not to read the storm only, but many a time, I have found myself looking into the storm to…

It is a few days to office closure for Christmas and the all too familiar feeling of slowing down and not wanting to show up in the office is very evident amongst all of us. Some are excited about their plans, others have plans but no money, others have the money yet no plans, and others have neither money nor plans. The common currency is that we all have time and breath. If I would have my way…

Have you ever noticed how in the scriptures men are always going up into the mountains to commune with the Lord? Yet in the scriptures we hardly ever hear of women going to the mountains. But we know why — right? Because the women were too busy keeping life going; they couldn’t abandon babies, meals, homes, fires, gardens, and a thousand responsibilities to make the climb into the mountains!I was…

Psalm 146:1-3[1]PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the Lord, O my soul![2]While I live will I praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.[3]Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help. Isaiah 11:2[2]And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him–the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of…
