Think about this

When the flood comes, fish eats ants and when the flood recedes, ants eat fish. Only time matters, just hold on, God gives opportunities to everyone.

In a theater when drama plays, you opt for front seats, When a film is screened, you opt for rear seats. Your position in life is only relative, not absolute.

For making soap, oil is required but to clean oil, soap is required. This is the irony of life.

When you are in problem, don't think it's the END, It is only a BEND.

In life, there are two categories of people that are happy; the mad and the child... Be mad to achieve a goal. Be a child to enjoy what you achieve.

There is no escalator to success, only Steps.

No matter what’s happening in your life right now, you must read this short story.

It was one seemingly ordinary day when I decided  to QUIT… All of a sudden I made a decision to quit my job, my relationship and finally my spirituality. I just wanted to quit my life.

But before that, I went to the wood to have one last talk with God.

I started: “God, can you give me one good reason not to quit?”

His answer really surprised me: “Look around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo?”

I replied: “Yes. When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth.

Its brilliant green covered the floor.Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.

But still, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

He said: “In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.”

“Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant…But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.

It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.”

After that, He asked me: “Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots.

I would not quit on the bamboo.I will never quit on you.”

“Don’t compare yourself to others.” He added. ”

The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.

Yet they both make the forest beautiful.” God said to me:

“Your time will come”

“You will rise high”.

I asked: “How high should I rise?”

“How high will the bamboo rise?” He also asked.

I was confused: “As high as it can?”

”Yes.” He said, “Give Me glory by rising as high as you can.”

After this conversation I left the forest and I wrote this amazing story. I really hope that these words can help you to see that God will never give up on you.

You should Never, Never, Never, Give up.

Don’t tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

PRESSURE

There is nothing as bad as succumbing to pressure from your peers and doing something only to regret it later.
Maybe all your friends are getting married  and in panic, you follow suit. Talk about decisions that you will definitely regret. You should get married because you are in love and not to keep up with the Jones.
At the end of the day, you need to realize that this is your life. Do not gamble with it because of whims you will forget after a year.

I do not think that this is the way to go. If it is, then I choose to be different. Let me stand for what what I believe in. At this point, the opinion of others doesn't really matter. I am not out to impress anyone but, rather to live my life, one day at a time, at my own pace and happy.

So, everyone around you is getting a baby. Good. But, does that mean you go get one? No!
Maybe, you do not even have a plan. Do not copy people blindly. Be wise. Just don't.

Pressure at work can arise from not having a plan and procrastinating stuff. You keep postponing issues to be dealt with. "Now", happens to be the only guaranteed time that you have. Deal with issues now! Personally, I have no peace of mind if something needs to be done and I am wasting my time on useless activity like watching TV or talking to someone about nothing important that cannot wait.

Some people just lack clear cut plans of handling work. The work will be done anyhow and at the end of the day, piles of work are still unattended to. Other people have clear cut plans that ensure their desks are always clean and with little or no work pending. Their in and out trays are manageable.
That's why they get promoted and you watch while your desk is literally sinking in rubble.

FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE

The wise men of old were right … There is nothing good like silence. It gives you time to reflect, you ignore what others think is really hurting you and the best part, no one can read your mind.

 I have also discovered that there is so much peace when you let go of any stressful factor in your life. Well, there are those issues you just have to deal with, but subtract anyone who drains your emotional energy. You really do not need drama. At the end of the day, you will be happier.

Do yourself a favor and focus on ideas. Do not dwell on people. The truth is, they come and go.  According to God’s word, there is time for everything. If someone hurts you, leave it to God. Do not bother revenging because you reap what you sow … That is real truth, God’s word and an irrefutable fact.  Sit back and watch life unfold. These are the times you wonder why you were bitter in the first place. There is no need of troubling your soul. God is not mocked; you reap what you sow… As for events, most only last for a while and then you totally forget they existed, when you move on.

The important thing is to not gloat … remember that God had mercy on you when you did not deserve it and even your enemies can run to the same God for help.  This is how fair God is. He will not ignore their pleas. If you gloat, you are just creating a good fall for yourself. Acknowledge that you also have mistakes and God gave you a second chance. There is nothing as good as someone seeing their fault and needing to correct them. That is why second chances exist but third ones are a no, no!

Leave multiple chances to God. He is God and so He can see motive and knows everything to come. You don’t. You are human, remember?

Above all, focus on God. He fights whatever battles for you. When God fights for you, you will pity your enemy. Seriously. You just relax and let go. Truly, this is an easy yoke. If everyone just knew … sigh…

God should be your foundation otherwise your priorities are wrong. However much you need to justify yourself, If God does not exist in your life; expect a mediocre life and no afterlife. If you think these 70 short years on earth are many, you really are short-sighted.

Look at everyone you consider great and tell me you didn’t find God in the midst of it all. You cannot separate God from success.

So in lieu of this, I want my life to scream Christ and anyone who does not subscribe to this really is adding no value to my life. I need my priorities right. The number one priority is Christ. The rest of the priorities follow.

I have only one goal; to walk the streets of gold. Anything hindering this is just not worth it.

After all; stand for something or fall for anything.

Toodles …

I have realized...

When you have a man who loves the Lord and loves you next, the need to hit back, the need to be bitter, the need to show how tough you are, all that becomes trivial ... God fights your battles. Trust Him. He ain't nobody. That man atatii.

That is the way to go. You do not have to emasculate him, tear him apart or get mad. Let God handle it.

It sounds stupid but it works awesomely. If God is not your number one, this method will really backfire. Priorities here mean alot. That's why so many people's marriage is a mess. If you don't believe me, check social media. So many complaints! You can imagine death to be better than marriage. The first thing that comes to mind is that marriage is pathetic.

But, marriage works. It only works with God. Just because so many people propagate a negative ruse, does not mean that  that's your story. It was God's idea to make marriage, if you keep Him out of it, how do you expect it to work?

This reminds me of people who don't believe dreams come true. Theirs, obviously, never came true. The question is : How do you expect God given dreams to come true if you keep shutting Him out?

It is official, anything God agrees with, man cannot make it work without Him. Dreams, marriage: you name it...

Many people do not want to lose control of the situation but let me ask you one sensible question: If you believe that God created you, what makes you think He cannot deal with your problems? 

Unless you do not believe in God, this logic should make sense to you. If you do not believe in God, do yourself a favor and stop reading right now!

The funny thing is: All men expect this. Which worldly woman will treat you this way? Most guys do not have a flawless record yet they expect perfection in a woman. Absurd!!!

You attract what you are. Previously, I said otherwise. I was wrong. You attract what you are.

No wonder stooges, door mats and punching bags are actually a thing. If you do this for a guy who doesn't love you , expect to be any of the above.

God is love. This ain't love!

I wanted to say saved but I have seen saved guys divorce, have side dishes, just crap. The thing here is, if a guy claims salvation, he must have the Holy Spirit. By the way, not everyone with the Holy Spirit can be your soul mate. The deep has to call the deep. That cannot be faked. Way to nail a guy! 😀😀😀

If this looks cruel, remember you are in marriage all your life!

I have seen two people live awesomely. They loved one another. That is the thing.

Love here is the thing. God is love. You cannot say this in any other way. I do not know how to emphasize this. This is the secret to a working marriage.
When you are in a working marriage, you won't be among the whiners.

With God, dreams and perfect marriages are possible. Let the unbelievers not convince you otherwise.

TWO

When you feel you have to fight to get your way and you make sense,  even God agrees, walk away. That's a joke you are dating. This is meant for unmarried folks.

The funny thing is...

I used to think everyone is a friend. Talk of naivety. But I have come to realize that there are only two categories of people. Your real friends, enemies and pretenders who are just plain enemies.
So, friends and enemies; Two.

Now, friends stick with you. The circumstances do not really matter. Jesus' love is like that. These people are gems. Really.

Enemies. This is interesting.
The people who show you to your face that they are enemies are way better than those people who pretend to care but really they feel good when you are in pain.
Atleast you know where you stand with the first category of enemies. The second category can really fool you. Fortunately, it is so hard to act like a sheep through out when you are a wolf. At some point you'll get hungry... And you don't eat grass.

When you are with friends, you feel safe. You know that you will always be home among your friends despite your flaws. Now, if you know you can work on your flaws and you don't, you are doing yourself a disservice. Remember God's word says you will reap what you sow. So, if you expect to be loved: flaws and all, without question, prepare to do the same.You sowed it, remember? It's really not revenge. It's God's word and it doesn't fail. Promise.

Amazing. God's law is perfect.

Yeah, back to pretenders. The funny thing with pretence is that expect kuingia kwa kisima ukichimbia mtu.
It's funny that when someone is plotting evil against you, the person never sees the plan backfiring . Also, even when you mean no harm but you go against God's law, you will pay. I never knew that. I have experienced it. Now, I know.

I'm not flawless and I will surely pay for sins I commit. I try not to hurt God's creation. The good news is that I know who I am and since God is so merciful to His children, I fear no evil. He knows how to gently correct me.

If that job was left to my enemies, they'd kill me. Kilightning kinaeza nigonga vibaya sana! 😀😀😀

Thank God He lives.

Never Give Up on God

Only God has the power to bring out the real you. I say this to anyone who never thought much of themselves.

You can give up on everything else and everyone else but not God.

People may think you are crazy,  let them.

The thing is, only you can tell of the inner peace that so many people do not have.

You are precious. God made you. You are very special to Him. He wants you to be at peace. You can only have that when you cling to God.

Someone once said "human beings are so blinded by these 70 short years of their lives."

Too blind to notice that when you start something, you should have already figured out how to end it.

So, if you are living and breathing, figure out how to continue living after these 70 years. If life imekuchosha,  figure out how to burn in brimstone na sijui nini.

When you are at peace, you have everything.

This Spoken Word should tell you how precious you are, It doesn't matter what other people think.

I AM ME
By Anthony Ngachira

I am the longshot
I am the one they never saw coming
I am the life beat of a heart once dying
I am the old horse that keeps kicking
I am truth in a world that keeps lying
I am the runner who though the race ends, keeps running
I am the dancer who keeps moving though the curtains are falling

I am the longshot
I am the raindrop that split the earth
I am the straw that broke the camels back
I am the bullet the vest couldn't catch
I am the arrow the armor couldn't stop
I am the pebble that cracked Goliath's skull
I am the hair grown back on Samson's head

I am the longshot
I am the manifestation of a revolution
I am the symbol of a new generation
I am the underdog who becomes champion

I am Del Monte, picked not just chosen
I am the voice they can't mum
I am the song of hope they can't stop but hum

I am the last of a dying breed
Yet it's hope that I bleed
I am he whose passion is a creed
Created by God's decree

I am the F that made lame hot like flame
I am the G that made low glow

I am change
I am difference
I am uniqueness

I am wine from The True Vine
I am what you cannot be

I AM ME

2016

Now, this is a fresh start for me in a fresh year. All glory to God... I was blind, now I see clearly. All fears that used to bother me are gone; all traps that waylaid me are gone; all things that used to frustrate me are gone, all gone... What can I say...  Dawa iko no matter how evil you imagine yourself to be... Jesus Christ is the answer.

Nobody has to make you acknowledge this... You need to find out for yourself... You may not believe someone else's story... Finding out individually is the best experience you can ever have.

You know, all those people out there who talk about Christ don't care if you think they are crazy, and so do I...  and even if they did, I don't.

I have seen and tasted of God's goodness and I know now that I am a sojourner here so if I sound crazy to you, know that I'm just passing through . I really don't belong here but you will feel me passing... Trust me 

Turning Over a new leaf ... :)

My friend shared a post that made me laugh and laugh hard ... Well, here it is ...

You know, to most, this applies ...
Now, I have one resolution to make. This is serious. I am not joking. I left Christ. I am going back. No excuses.
This time, the decision is mine. Last time, I was forced and that did not go down well with me. That was never my decision. My friends had a bad time. I don't need to be told to know this. I am amazed I actually had friends. This time, it is going to be different. That's a promise.  But, I am not tying you here. It is perfectly okay if you choose to leave. No hard feelings. I have realized that real people for you, stick around. And whatever company you lose, you get hundreds more. So, adios. Seriously, no hard feelings.


You may have noticed, I can really break rules. Not bend, break! That stops now.
There may have been a little influence but I am safe and happy there. And going by Desiderata, I want to be at peace with God. While outside there is insane freedom, like no boundaries whatsoever and too much justification, I want what I once had. I have suffered enough! While I am thankful for friends, they do not understand what I am going through. Sincerely, they never will.
I lost my salvation and I want it back.
I know it is not too late. And then again, if you want something not so mediocre, you have to sacrifice a lot. I intend to do just that. I will never settle for mediocre again. So help me God.
The world is just full of crap. There is so much to handle and it is like new things keep appearing to keep you rooted there. Funny. The more you stay there, the more you don't want to leave. And there is nothing good, ever! All the good things are from God.
I have fought battles that can kill most. It is time I got some help from above. I can't do this anymore. I am just tired and all the things that appealed to me have lost taste, flavor, meaning e.t.c. in my life. Let those who can indulge do so. I am fed up.
Enough is enough.
Oh, temptations will be there but I think I can deal with those. Where I am weak, God will fight for me.
If you are not part of the flock, do not think for one second I want anything to do with you. Honestly, two cannot walk together unless they be agreed. I know that from experience. It is also in the Bible.

And the promise of years unmatched by those down below, are too good to ignore. I think I will take my chances. Hell or heaven, I don't care. I have thrown caution to the wind... This is my only resolution for 2015. Well, I guess 2014  ended on a positive note after a serious paradigm shift.

I am not going to bend to anybody's will if it is not for me but against me ... watch me.
The problem here is that Christians differ over many issues and I don't know what to believe anymore. Since this is a crossroads of some sort, I have made up my mind that the salvation is mine. Whatever relationship I have is between God and I. And not God, you and I. So, the choice is mine.  End of story.

I think this video pretty tells it all: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtotCj7ovkU

Mulling about 2014: Thank God the Year is almost over!

Now, as 2014 ends, let me expose some things that came to light after my praise almost got me trapped. Remember when I talked so well of a certain Muslim guy called Mohammed? Shock!

You know, these are some of the reasons I cannot change religions. I mean, what I have is precious. Let me stay being foul with my one and only love. At least I have breathing space! If I felt uncomfortable here, I would have moved a long time ago.

This brings a certain pattern into light. Good always wins in the end. Bad is always exposed, no matter how hard we try to hide it.

Now, let me cut to the chase. Apparently, the nice talker has abandoned his one wife (maybe he has side dishes. I do not doubt even for a second that he does!) You know, it is hard to hide certain characters. (I do not mean numbers or letters!)

I have proof but let that one lie. Actually, because people have their mistakes (me included), let’s count this one as a major flaw in Mohammed’s character.

Apparently, the salary he gets all goes to booze. Wow! What an addiction! I know how addictive booze is. I just pray I never fall prey to its claws. If you take things literally, please know that this piece is not for you.

Of course people change. Let me give him that allowance but do not think for a second that I will be a friend. From now on, formalities are in order. I guess that’s why his Christian friend was so badly influenced. I mean, that guy was no light beam. Now, I know why. Birds of a feather flock together.

Show me your friends and I will show you your character. It is time I started sorting out those I call friends. But the ones, I praised are going nowhere. Time has tried and tested them. They always mean well.

This is just the beginning. Let me lie still and wait.

But, social sites can mislead. It calls enemies, friends. Just because someone has so many friends means nothing. In real life, those so called friends become enemies. But, if the feeling is good, indulge. Do not unfriend people because of me. Have your own standing please.

It is worth standing for something. And standing firm.

Experience is truly the best teacher…

As for the guy I mentioned earlier, I won’t dwell there. What for? The point is he’s exposed for what he really is.

I told you, year ends are fun for me. Totally worth waiting for!

Things, I never knew are exposed. Stuff happens and bad guys are shown as they are!

Now, I talked of being rejected. You know, I can get all personal and stuff but it is not worth it. If someone is stupid enough to let you go, you let them.

You do not experiment with the one. Unless, you think you can get away with it. And, you can’t! But, if you find that someone can dare do this, know that you dodged a bullet. A real bullet. This is no consolation. It is a fact.

Dating babies (or toddlers! Ha!) Is just a sad affair! Babies and toddlers in relationships not actual babies and toddlers. I told you not to take things literally! Oh! The humanity!

It never ends well. There has got to be some level of maturity for such special relationships to survive. Unfortunately, this maturity is missing. Oh, go ahead and justify your reasons. I choose to believe what I will. That’s the beauty of free will.

Your value never decreases because someone failed to see it. You know what the best part is? Your value always shows in the end.

So forget about people searching for pebbles. Know that you are a real diamond.And forget about people who are not for real. They will just hurt you in your quest for love.

You know, the person who said opportunity knocks once in a man’s lifetime was not wrong. It does knock once. As for second chances, I gave it a chance, now I have nothing to regret.

You know, if your tastes are exotic, nothing indigenous will work for you. It is not fair to play around with indigenous meals then think you have the pleasure of spitting out what you willingly put in your mouth. But, no one’s stopping you. A painful lesson waits afterwards.

By all means, indulge!

Oh! Please remember I told you so.

The replacement I have the pleasure of indulging with is a God sent. It is a fool proof package that I never asked for … lucky me…

But, the battle was a tough one. Probably the toughest I have had to endure. Which lasted years …

You know, the tougher the battle, the sweeter the rewards.

After a storm, comes the sunshine. How true! You know, even the storm runs out of rain.

Reaching Out to You People

(Do not confuse this picture with that of Nokia. But, the hands are both big so ...)

You know, it really feels good to know that you are loved. Pastor was right. And not just by one person, many! This competition is so good I bet many of you know what I am talking about. I am just finding out! I am so serious!

But, those people who say love makes the world go round were a bit overenthusiastic. Anyway, knock yourself out if you think it does. No one’s stopping you.

But, looking back, I think I’ve had abounding grace. The last few years have not been easy. But, somehow, I have managed. Don’t ask me how! I seriously don’t know! But, now that I know this, I think it is time I made few changes in my life. Of course, positive ones.

First, I need you to not want to know the changes. They are subtle but they have such a ripple effect it astounds me. Your need to know is quizzical. Ask yourself, why? What for?

I need to accommodate people in my life and this means that I have to put up with a lot of crap! I need grace for this because I am a no-nonsense type of person and I do not mince words when I am not happy. Well, I’ve just found out that I should tolerate quirks. All of them: the good, the bad and the ugly. I have decided that I won’t say anything. I will post it on my blog and I won’t mention names, as usual.

If this sounds like a raw deal, remember I have fought monsters. (Not actual monsters. Do they even exist?) Take it or leave it.

I cannot swallow crap just because I will hurt your feelings and bottle mine up. And guess what? My blog allows me that luxury. Luxury of being me. A free soul. I am not a second class citizen and I will not allow anyone to treat me like so. I have to let out smoke somewhere. No, I don’t smoke at all. If you do, please keep me out of your little habit. I have my own to deal with.  When I grow tired dealing with the burn unit, I will shut down this blog. Actually no! I will only shut down this blog if I die and I have time to shut it down. Will I miss it? Maybe, maybe not! Ask me then! I most certainly will have an answer.

Death, I have realized is part of human life. I do not fear it. It comes when it wants, so it is not like you have plans. Even the assurance people know that.  It is just that I want to die in my sleep. I don’t want a dramatic exit. I mean, what for? It is the drama that makes the remaining live people to go mental. Those people that exit without being melodramatic are just the best.

So, if my words cut your soul, I mean well and I just happened to give you a glimpse of the battlefield which is on my mind. By the way, I am not exempted from these words. I toe the line, if I cross it. I also want to be better than what I am so, rejoice. We are in the boat together!

I wish I can say I obey all rules. I don’t. But, I camouflage my rule breaking until it looks good. I will do my best to avoid any court of law from holding me in contempt. But, my flaws are many. Counting them is like counting sand on the beach. But, I fear hurting those close to me. And that is why; I will apologize the minute you complain. If you don’t like apologies, too bad. Remember you are not God.

An apology is the best I can offer. Take it, or leave it. It’s a raw deal (according to some. I may not agree. Let’s just agree to disagree) but I just have to deal you because I believe in the Lord’s Prayer.

Away with the self conscious crap, it is very good to believe in you. The normal you. I have seen it happen in my life (This is a very good example). If you are yet to see it in yours, wait for it. Impatient as you are, wait.

You know what is so good here, I have no idea what is happening to you and I know this will impact on you positively. I am so pleased with myself right now. At least I do not sound like I have put a target on your back. I really haven’t.

I won’t gain anything by doing away with you. If there is nothing to gain, I still want you to read my thoughts. It is not about gains!

So, what are you waiting for? Be the best that you can be with or without other people interfering. I included.

Who cares what they think anyway? But, even with the don’t-care attitude, choose to be considerate. Consideration is very important. For real!

Remember what I reported about real freedom? If you think you are free and you do not consider others, you lie to yourself.

I don’t mean you consider abnormality. That belongs in a psychiatry ward or room! At this stage, I’d highly recommend brain usage. I am sure everyone has one. Totally sure.

Unless, there is a medical miracle I am yet to come across.

Turn Any Negative into A Positive …

You know, after recent events, I have realized that any negative can be turned into a positive. Yeah, even death. I know, I sound insane. This is not a good thing to say to anyone who has been affected by death. Give it time to heal and then launch your positivity thing. If you do this too soon, you will be declared mental alone.  Let’s be like me here for a while. Yeah, hurt is there but ask yourself, how do you benefit positively?

You know, negative stuff is there to make you grow. You become better at decision making, organizational skills, discipline, e.t.c. If negative stuff makes you weak, you are weak indeed. You should not let some things break you. If they do, pick yourself up and move on. The beauty of life is that your problems become stepping stones if you let them. If you don’t, you will sink so deep, no one is going to be able to pull you out. I am imagining, sinking into mud. I say pull because push would mean whoever is pushing you is deep in the mud. Try surviving in mud without breathing we see how long you can hold your breath. Breathe, if you deem yourself macho.

You know, negativity is like mud. You need to rid yourself of it before you can become acceptable again. Otherwise you will just leave undesirable footprints and handprints wherever you go. If you want to be another famous person after Hitler, try negativity. You will be hated and not easily forgotten. We can barely forget Hitler. Can we? In the end, what did he gain?

I was told that someone died because a cup of water was poured on him. My source is a credible one. I just don’t feel like sharing it. No more personal stuff. If I share my source, then I will break the “personal” rule.  

You know, Hitler smiled after that guy died! He never smiled. Yeah, that is how mean this guy was. But, I also think there can’t be more of a coward! Jesus!  How do you die from a cup of water? Or maybe it was the fright of a lifetime to meet Hitler. Hitler thrived by making himself appear like a god. Even gods don’t act like that. Demons and the devil can, so I guess it is safe to say Hitler was the devil incarnate.

I know someone who thinks Hitler was a good man. I don’t get it. I don’t think I can. How?

So next time you want to call someone mean, think Hitler.

So your calling me mean is a joke of the century. I am adorable just blunt like something else. I have my good and bad aspects. I doubt that Hitler had any good in him. Anyway, let’s go back to the topic.

Now, there is something going on in the country. It is not pretty. Let me repeat my Pastor’s words: You have a responsibility towards society. That is freedom. I agree. Freedom is not doing what you feel like.

Society is your friend and enemy. Both. Yeah, they will laugh with you when you need to laugh like weddings. The society will cry with you in funerals. It will strip you naked without mercy in Nairobi.

My friend also chipped in: I do not defecate along Thika road just because there is freedom. I know what responsible is. I agree. Totally positive.

But because we are turning negatives to positives, Lesson learned: worldly men really love to look at naked women then undress them in the name of shame yet they lust like a nonsense and don’t think those ladies pay a price! It is positive to look for the right things in the right place. Wolf whistles because of your dress being deemed too short will just make you be stripped in public in some places. Demonstrating in hideous clothing doesn’t make it any better. Try harder and find a solution.

You know what comes to mind? Slum dog millionaire!
