#Birthdaymonththoughts


November babies, it is our time. A whole new year is almost coming to an end, been through a mixture of happiness, sadness, confusion, focus, desire, ambition, tears, bitterness, joy, name them. All these are finally ushering in a new year, thanks to The Almighty God above. Have you ever sat in a quiet place and wondered at all that happens and life keeps moving forward? So much goes on around and with us in the course of life that when you think about it, it is indeed overwhelming.

I had some quiet moments today and thought of the 224 perished souls in the plane crush that occurred in Egypt. Lives lost as young as a several months old baby and as old as a 77 years old granny. My heart surely sank. I am sad for these very many dreams, very many ambitions, and moments lost within a short period of time, unpredicted, unseen yet it happened. Then I searched my soul and thought this could be Kenya, America, Philippines, France wherever. People die every day, every minute; sad as it sounds it is the reality. It makes me fear and makes me realize how helpless and powerless I am as a human being. The weakest moment to any living creature would be the point of death. 

It is ironic that it is my birthday month yet I am here all sad and emotional thinking about death. So I sort out a solution. I strongly believe every problem under the sun has got to have a solution. Whether we run to the rocks, down into valleys, up on top of mountains, deep in the seas or under your mother’s arms, death is here to stay and it will meet all of us, sad as it sounds. So we all got to find a way out to save ourselves. The only way is to run to God. From God we came, from God we shall return. It is my prayer that in one way or the other we all seek to be right with God through Jesus Christ. That in one way or the other we may all acknowledge the power of God and believe in him because with him life is everlasting. Who does not want to live forever? None, at least not me.

I pray that none of us shall die before they fulfill their purpose for which they were created for. None of our prayers and wishes shall go unanswered according to Gods own will. That each day of our lives we may seek to achieve, gain, love, bless, inspire, forgive but not curse, dismiss, hate, lose or discourage. This is my prayer for the month, to all who are believers and all who seek to be right with God, it is never too late and God does not want a perfect us, He wants us just the way we are.

So fellow November babies, there we have something to make a resolution about. Be the best you can be, live every moment like it is never going to come again and above all put God first. May God’s blessings reign upon us in our path, Amen.

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS- CAMPUS LESSONS {PART 3/3}

11 years ago, I wanted to become an engineer when I grow up. I did not know exactly what engineering entailed and how I would get there but I knew for me to be one I had to study really hard. Well my dreams were and still are valid. 11 years later as I finish my undergraduate studies I have a very important lesson to take home from one of my lectures, Prof Kiema. He said, it does not matter what you do, what matters is how you do it. You can’t possibly go through an institution for all these years and fail to pick up important lessons to last you a lifetime. My most important life lessons were picked here, my best characters were shaped here as well, be my guest; Campus taught me how to relate to people, those I like and those I don’t. It taught me I don’t have to like someone to respect them; respect is for all, friends and strangers.   I learnt that anything that has a beginning always has an end. Just like finishing campus, all other aspects of life have beginnings...

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS {PART 1/3}

Just like that, it’s over! (Read oveeeeeeeeer!). Honestly it does not feel like five years are gone already. Time sure flies. I still remember how young, fragile and innocent I was when I walked into Stella Awinja hostel for my first year in campus. I would say I was mature and responsible though, I brought myself to campus most people don’t.   Then papa came to check on me later and brought my luggage and I remember him questioning the custodians why I had to share a room with five other ladies yet the forms clearly stated sharing two. Best daddy ever, he cared enough to know where his daughter was going to live. Sharing a room with five other adorable ladies turned out to be the best thing. I made friends that will forever remain my friends both in their presence and absence. The many Luhyia songs and ohangla dances done in that room, sweet old memories. Shout out to Brenda Nanjala, Rhoda Odongo, Sylvia Awori and Merlene Ndolo, I miss and love you lovely ladies. You made my...

The man every woman wants

I am not married, we may say I don't have experience but i definitely know the kind of man every woman wants because I am a woman. Women like feeling special and pampered, it is in us. Those lovely compliments, sincere appreciation and sweet words warm our hearts. Yes we are special for sure hence we deserve to feel equally or more special. When a woman meets that gentleman who makes her feel special than any other person around her, you can be rest assured she will make you feel triple special in return. A woman is like a kid, however learned or experienced she is, she would not resist a good sense of direction. No woman wants to have man who is not concerned any inch about what goes on in her career field/business. We all admire men who make us better in our careers and ambitions. By making her better I mean knowing what goes on in her business, having two or three compliments about it,  practically assisting with ideas and getting things done if need be. Anything supportive ...
