Some don’t make sense, some do.

When I think about how far I have come. I am so glad that I know Christ and that he has the bigger plan in mind. He puts all the pieces together because He had the final blue print of my life before any of my days came to be.  Sometimes all I see are little pieces, some don’t make sense, some do. But sometimes when I give a bird’s eye view to my life, I see how God plans everything in my life and it gives me such great confidence to face the future with boldness knowing that despite the unknown future, I have a God whom I personally know.

For example

Before I cleared high school, my parents moved homes and we ended up as neighbors to a girl who was enrolling to Daystar University – and there I was. We though, not bad. We tried it. It was a step of faith.

*************************

After the first year, my parents could not afford to pay university fees anymore, so I thought, what is all these? I chose to quit but before I could actualize my thoughts, the finance Aid officer called me to her office and told me amazing words. She said, “I have been scrolling through the list of students and I felt a strong urge to offer you a full scholarship!” – Do you think you need one?"What? Yes. Out of nowhere! Private University – God Paid it!

*************************

And can I tell you more. When I enrolled for my masters, I thought I would get a scholarship too…but no…God told me, “I fed you on manna when you did your first degree. Now work!” Ha! It was so clear; I had applied like 50 scholarships and I remember telling some of my friends- none of it is coming through! God says I work. So I paid for my Masters as I worked and there was so much grace.

*************************

My first Job, I got it through my University roommate, who joined me the last year, Swedish girl with a Kenyan boyfriend. The boyfriend’s office needed and intern and I began right there, with that first connection.  And here I am today, passionately working in the areas of gender and human rights. God has been there through every job.

*************************

When I gave birth to my first, I shared an office with a lady who taught me so much about motherhood. God must have placed her there to help me. She gave me a book-contented little baby- which was life changing and I have shared  it with many more Mums. 

*************************

Let me talk about my man. I was literally forced to go for a University Christian Union Holiday Conference because I used to be a chairperson – leading bible study in campus and the leaders had to go. I was so annoyed because I wanted to spend the holidays with my family. Little did I know that the University was pushing me into my destiny to meet the love of my life! Hurray! Am so glad I went!

************************** 

I have so much to say about how God has put pieces together in my life. Every step has been grace if not a miracle. So I never take neighbors for granted, co-workers, I mean literary everybody, because THEY ALL HAVE A DEFINED ROLE TO PLAY IN YOUR LIFE AND YOU IN THEIRS! ASK YOURSELF- OF ALL THE BILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TODAY- WHY DO YOU ONLY KNOW THE ONES YOU KNOW?
