ON LIVING, LOVING AND LEARNING.

-


Dear Son,
This past week has been really sad. I am sorry if you felt short changed at some point.
But you see in as much as I put on a tough, strong look... sometimes mummy is all  pulp, especially when a loved one is involved.  You see son, the Lord, thought it wise to take a close friend home. A gentleman commonly known as Kaberere or Kabz aka Qabz.. I have known this gentleman as early as 1999 and I knew him as a man of passion, purpose, love and life.
Kaberere with one of his pets

This man passed on at a tender age of just 32, but you see, God was ready for Kabz to go home. He had fulfilled destined purpose. At his memorial service, a lot of things came to play. Kabz was a giver, a family man (ohh he loved his wife, his son and even his unborn baby at the time of his passing.). Every business opportunity he saw, he pursed. Coming from nothing to something. From what people called nobody to somebody. He revolutionized the gospel industry in this country, a true legend he was. Secondly, he was a giver. from clothes, to money, to time...you name it!!! According to Kaberere everyone deserved the good and fine things of life.

Ulani, Njesh and Kabz
I would go on and on about Kabz, but my heart still hurts and I still need to tell you a few things before I leave.

  1. In your lifetime, live life to the fullest. Never hold back on what you believe in and what you value
  2. Human beings are just that. Human beings, not human doings. Care for people, value them and what they bring on the table.
  3. Surround yourself with people of great stature and wisdom. There in, you will learn from their mistakes and they will catapult you to the next level.
  4. It is in giving that you receive. Never give with the hope that you will receive. Mother Teresa, (another legend) said, “Don’t Give until it hurts, Give until it feels good”
  5. Share your knowledge. You will learn more
  6. Value your family. Be it your wife, children, your parents... they are God’s gift to you. Value them and make time for them 
so son live like their is no tomorrow, love like no one is watching and learn like your life depends on it...(oh yes, coz it does)





My Prayer.
  Dear Lord,
Thank you for the time you have given us thus far. I really don’t take it for granted.

I commit my son to you. His dreams and aspirations. Lord honour them in accordance to your will.May he realise his passion and purpose at an early age, and may I have the strength and wisdom to steer him to their completion.

Give him a good wife – one that will honor, respect and support him.

Make him a good husband, show him the ropes to care, provide, protect and pray for his family  

Give him children – his own and many many more.
And most of all grant satisfy him with Long, good healthy life.

      Psalms 91:15 – 16 "He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. "With a long life I will satisfy him And let him see My salvation."

 And to Njesh, Ulani and Njoki..... May Psalms 91:15 - 16 be your portion as well. forever in our prayers and our actions.


 
Love you always,
Maitu...

and here is a short tribute to that great man. Kaberere you will forever be missed.

Reverse Evangelism and the Great Commision

 This blog is supposed to be a reflection on the Fearless Summit 2020, which was dubbed 'Be the Spark' . I must say, the annual theme is much needed during this pandemic time. Summit Theme What stood out for me was the last day of the summit, the fearless Sunday. There was the send out commission of Pastor Kevin and his wife Lucy to North America and that was quite emotional. It is a divine phenomenal that God has chosen two 'unlikely' African children to go and be part of the great commission in Washington DC, the capital of governance.  Pastor Muriithi commissioned them with a verse from Psalms 102:18, 'Write this down for the next generation so people not yet born will praise God' This was an amazing verse to remind the missionary couple that the send out was definitely out of great obedience but also for generations. The great commission The second part of the service was led by Pastor Aaron Graham, the senior pastor of District Church, (coincidently where ...

BEING A BETTER PERSON.

Dear #CrownPrince, the warm embrace of family.. you can never go wrong. Happy 2.5 years. All I can say, is I am continually amazed by how God has held you and brought you this far. You have grown into a joyful son, learning new words everyday and speaking your mind. (I wonder where you get that from) But I am so proud of you. Your love for music and dance is amazing, your love for books challenges me every day and your love for God is so amazing. You are a true shepherd.    Son, today I speak to you about being a better person. You see there is a big word known as SELF-ESTEEM (Google for definition :-) ).  Self-Esteem affects all of us knowingly or unknowingly and therefore, what we believe of ourselves, affects how others respond to us. Some people have an inflated self esteem, what I call pride and others have a subdued self-worth what I call laziness. The balance to that is what we call a mature and healthy self-esteem or self-worth....

Welcome to the world #CrownPrince

Dear Son, Day: February 21 2012 Time: 11:37 p.m Weight: 3.75Kgs That day and time will forever be etched in my mind, body and soul. I had always dreamt of how you would look like, but when I saw you, my dreams were nothing compared to what was before me. You were far much more handsome, beautiful than I had ever imagined or thought. Oh my, what a sight to behold. I was speechless, (trust me that ‘s such a big deal. As you will realise, I am very expressive and will seldom shy to pass my point across) . I knew that my life was forever changed. As I held you in my arms, staring at your lovely eyes (which were wide open by the way – very strange, you were too eager to see the world after 41 weeks) and your soft skin glowing as your little tiny fingers tried to hold mine, I was astounded by God’s love, mercy and creativity. So today I say the prayer that I dedicated to you, two years back. Luke 2:52 (NIV) ‘And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.’ ...
