My Life

On Saturday evening, it was great to have Emma and her family and Purity for dinner. The kids had so much fun running around.Samara really enjoyed herself. You see her 2 elder cousins can talk, sing aloud and when she couldn't keep up with them , she resorted to laughing. Mnara, our 7month old nephew entertained himself on the carpet . My highlight for the evening was  just before they left, my nieces  decided to do presentations for us. They were so bold and I wondered where time flies too?These babies were born just the other day. One day soon Samara will also be saying 'my name is Samara and I will say a poem'.  I  truly thanked God for the joy and fellowship of family. On Sunday, Samara was up at 6.30a.m. and I bonded with her as I had to travel to see an aunt who had been admitted in Ol Kalau District Hospital. I must say I was impressed by the hospital. We were shocked the place was clean, every patient had their own bed and  were given good portions of...

 I was listening to Treasure Hunt, a kids show that comes on Hope Fm on saturday mornings. They played this lovely song 'I could sing of your love forever by kids ' http://youtu.be/mnPVJYTW9s8 . May we busk in God's love forever. Have a lovely weekend. [Intro:] Over the mountains and the sea Your river runs with love for me And I will open up my heart And let the Healer set me free I'm happy to be in the truth And I will daily lift my hands For I will always sing of Of when Your love came down [Chorus:] I could sing of Your love forever (x4) [Bridge:] Oh I feel like dancing It's foolishness I know But when the world has seen the light They will dance with joy Like they're dancing now I could sing of your love forever (5x)

I couldn't help but share today's Moments with you devotional by Dennis&Barbara Rainey with you. I would love to see my beloved stand up for Samara like this dad did. May we as parents get the courage to stand up for our kids. Read on please. I'll Protect You Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. JOSHUA 1:9 One day during Rebecca's first year of junior high, she came home from school with an unusually unhappy look on her face. Some boy had been making ugly remarks about her figure (or more precisely, her lack of one). "What's this guy's name?" I inquired. She told me what it was. "What's his phone number?" I asked. "Sounds like we need to have a little man-to-man chat." When the boy's father answered the phone, I told him I needed to talk to his son. I said I wasn't going to be mean, but he had been ...

Its always so nice to receive good news. Yesterday evening, my beloved sent me a text message and said he had both bad and good news. He asked which one news I would like to receive first and I said bad news.  Knowing him, he likes keeping one in suspense and  he wrote back and said he will share in person. So I texted back and said good news but he still said he would share face to face. Lucky for me, he wasn't too far from SAS. He told me that the business trip he was to go today Thursday to Sunday had been cancelled. Right there I started smiling ear to ear because he had travelled the previous weekend and we miss him alot when he is away. Things are never the same when he leaves so to hear that he would be here made me smile. The bad news was that he would have to work late one of the evenings. I complained abit but said its better to have him home than not at all. Over the weekend, someone made a remark that bothered me. Hearing ...

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze ( Isaiah 43:2  NIV). There is nothing that pierces the heart like hearing the wails of a mother who has lost her unborn child. I do not like to write this but it happened this morning. At 5th Avenue Office Suites, where our kids furniture store is, there are a number of doctors from gynecologists, pediatricians, cardiologists just name them. So hear I was doing my work and I hear some  loud cries. I try and figure out whether it  is a child or an adult.You see, kids cry alot here when they come for their appointments/jabs. But the screams get louder and louder and am convinced it is an adult. I wonder whether they have been told they are unwell or received bad news. Immediately a client walks in and asks me who is crying and I say its coming from downstairs...

Have you ever wondered how an employer and employee think differently especially towards end month? It is a few days to end month right? What are you looking forward to? Receiving your hard earned salary yeah? What is the employer thinking about? Where will the salaries, rent etc come from? With 6 days to go, an employer like me  is praying for a client to walk in and make a payment that will hopefully offset the outstanding expenses.When I was employed, I did my work faithfully but at times when Kenya Power decided to ration the electricity, I didn't mind,  I only got upset if I lost my unsaved work. In business, having no lights means nothing would go on. I would frantically call their emergency number to find out what the problem was and when lights were expected back. I miss the free use of internet, printing paper, photocopier? One would research, download without a care. Now, I ask  myself. Is it worth downloading? How long with my orange card last this month? I...

I was flipping through the channels on Saturday evening and came by Capital Talk on K24. Jeff Koinange had an interesting guest on the bench. It was 9year old Rose Nasimiyu who has been diagnosed with cancer. She  amazed me. Rose has such faith and credits it to her parents who have taught her that she can make it in life and fight the disease with confidence. I wouldn't want to dilute her story which can be found on http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2011/07/21/cancer-won%E2%80%99t-make-rose-nasimiyu-wilt/ . She needs to go for chemotherapy every 2 weeks which costs about Kshs 50,000-60,000  per session and says her parents are really working very hard to ensure that she goes for the 16courses. With the help of her mum,Rose has written and sang   'I believe'.  Having lost close relatives to cancer, I just can not  imagine what this girl has gone through. However she doesn't focus on her challenges she said something profound" feed your faith and your fears ...
