WESTGATE SIEGE! WE KENYANS ARE ONE

Two days ago ... the 21st  of September (Saturday) i arrived for an event only to find my colleagues deep in conversation about a popular mall in the West of the city being under attack!!

The closest i have ever been to such a situation is watching a movie to imagine it was happening a few kilometers away was shuddering to say the least.

Reports came in that it was a terrorist attack and the nation came to a standstill!
very disturbing photos went viral and we could only hope and pray for all trapped inside. come saturday night...the attackers still held hostages  on the 3rd and 4th Floor of the building.

By this time over 50 people had been  declared dead and 175 were in hospital,  among the deceased was a very much loved Journalist and Role Model Ruhila Adatia.. a lady i really looked up to for her reporting and presenting prowess.
48 hours since the attack started and the suspects have niether given up nor released the hostages.

We still remain hopeful.

One amazing thing however is the magnitude of The Kenyan Spirit of Love and Unity going on.

  • Thousands have lined up  to donate blood .
  • Millions are sending Money Via Mpesa to fund treatment for the injured.
  • others are offering counseling to families of the victims 
  • Taking Food and water to the Security forces, Journalists, Rescue teams and volunteers. 
  • The #WeAreOne...is keeping people updated and serving a medium for send peace messages.


Indeed as the Bible says in Genesis 50:20- But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. God will help us through this. He is faithful in all circumstances.

I will pray and encourage you to do the same. 
We are countrymen first. let's stay united. 
Victory will come. 
Salvation will come.

Here are the reassuring words of our national Anthem:




 And lastly the ever inspiring and forever patriotic song by Eric Wainaina: DAIMA MIMI MKENYA

Do have a peaceful day and remember to pray.



 Remain Blessed.

NEW YEAR , NEW THINGS, NEW OPPORTUNITIES #2016YAY

‪#‎ LongPostAlert‬ ‪#‎ ThanksgivingReport‬ . Last year was one i would refer to as  ‪#‎ Bittersweet‬ . Why? you may ask... Half the year was great, the other half was not soo great. I went through the motions happy, excited, sad, depressed and every thing in between the tow extremes. But the 3 things that remained constant during 2015 were: 1. God of the Mountain is still God in the valley. 2. Family will always stick by you no matter what. 3. Friends , good friends will make the journey much more easier. My Prayer as we welcomed the new year was: "Oh Lord, may 2016 be kinder, May I get a new lease to life and a job" And What Did the Lord do? He surprised me with a Job I had not even Applied for!!! We do serve the God of the Impossible!!!! this job came through a friend who referred me to my now Boss and the random thing is that I was the one who told him about the job he is in currently and now we are colleagues again in a different Organisation.. How C...

Positioned in Goshen – A Place of Provision and Protection.

Genesis 45:10-11 You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me—you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have. I will provide for you there.  The story of Goshen is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness, provision, and intentionality in the lives of His people.  When famine swept through Egypt and surrounding lands, Joseph invited his father Jacob and the rest of their family to move to Goshen. This wasn’t a random choice. Goshen was fertile and well-suited for their flocks, and it symbolized God’s ability to sustain His people in times of crisis. Goshen: A Place of Refuge Goshen wasn’t just a geographical location; it was a place of divine positioning. While the rest of Egypt was ravaged by famine, Goshen flourished. God used this place to shield His people, providing them with abundance and protection while fulfilling His promise to make them a great nation. In life, we too experience seasons where we find ourselves in a...

The Cross — A Love So Deep

  As Easter draws near, I find myself pausing to reflect on the Cross, not as a symbol of sorrow alone, but of a love so fierce and freeing that it rewrote the course of humanity. The Cross was never an accident. It was always the plan. A place where justice met mercy, where wrath collided with grace. It was the ultimate declaration: You are loved. You are seen. You are worth it. In a world that often measures us by performance, the Cross reminds me that it is finished. Not earned. Not deserved. Just... given. Freely. Lavishly. Eternally. It humbles me. It heals me. It holds me. “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8 (NIV) As the Swahili hymn so beautifully says: “Msalaba ndio asili ya mema, Nikatua mzigo hapo; Nina uzima, furaha daima, Njoni kafurahini papo.” English Translation : The Cross is the fountain of every good thing; I laid my burden there. I have life, I have everlasting j...
