A bit of the Christian world...

Whoosap people.......

If you read my blog's description, then you understand that God forms all of me, not a better part of me. My perspective of life has greatly been shaped by Him. Well, now that you understand that, let's dive just a bit into the Christian world, on something that worries me. 
And in case you are not a Christian and you are asking how this will build you, maybe it won't ( for most of you, it will) but it will open your eyes to something interesting.

The world is evolving. It's changing at a very rapid speed. But in my observation, the Christian world never really changes. Look closely, and you will see trends as old as Jesus' time and far before. We still have the Pharisees and the Jesuses even today. We still have the Saul's that cling to the anointing and forget the giver of the anointing, and right there we have the David's that are after God's own heart - they know that the anointing is on them and they don't have to chase it. It's hard to know you will be king and still remain a servant. It takes an understanding that even kings are servants. This is true humility - a rare virtue in our world. We still have the Marthas (Luke 10:38-42) that are lost in service and forget that there is a "feet" to sit under, listen and drink from Jesus; and there are the Marys at Jesus' feet.

Today, like before, we still have Christians who are consumed with proving that their theology is right and all the others are wrong; and we have those to whom theology doesn't really matter - they are chasing after God's own heart.

In the end, the battle remains: the spirit versus the flesh and they're always antagonizing. And the enemy has made it even harder; that the flesh no longer looks like sin as we think of it. It's not as we have always fought it. It's no longer the sin we so devotedly fight against; it's the service, getting used and clinging to the anointing, the ambition to be called greater in the Kingdom, the zeal to follow every law. Many have forgotten that there is a God to chase, a God to build a relationship with, a God to make friends with. Does that sound like the "flesh" for you?......yeah I thought so. 

Well, that's the Christian world and it's always been like that. But those that live by the Spirit, see, know and understand better.

Tells of the best of Women

  Our very first Date I have known this woman for the past 7 years, I have dated her for the past two years and I have been married to her for the past one year, four months and thirteen day, ( don't be fooled, I sort the help of a calculator and minutes of thinking) If you would like to meet an incredible woman, you should absolutely meet her. If you want to meet a smart and beautiful woman, you need to meet my wife. If you want to meet a flawed woman, damn right, you should look for her. If you want to meet a loyal and loving woman, my Eve should be your next meet. Every additional year she gets becomes first a gracious gift to me then to her. Don't get me wrong, it's just that she takes care of me more than she takes care of herself. This is her second birthday we are celebrating in Kilifi. The first was just a week after we had moved here from Nairobi. We just had a small "Fayaz" cake (I didn't even put a sad face, it was a terrible cake) with our very

The Rogue man!

  Rogue is definitely the right word to use here. First, because this story should have been written six months ago. Today is right to write¹ nevertheless, the "rogueness'"  (You know what? I can be sorry to English later) continued. I think I am just rogue. Absolutely abnormal in my own terms. Today, we got back from the church as usual. My man started the disturbance spree right from church. He didn't wanna sleep, murmurs, screams, squishes, joyful and sad sounds. That's B for you when he wants. He slept for a bit but woke up once we got to the house. My week was long. I traveled to Nairobi on Wednesday and didn't sleep or rest. Went for an event on Thursday and traveled back that same evening. I got to Mtwapa on Friday, rested for a few hours, and went to Kilifi. Merime ( www.merimespace.co.ke ) needed me. It's been a week! I am still tired by the way and all I wanted after church was to sleep. It's not that obvious or easy these days. The Man B is

Story za Ulezi

  I honestly struggled to get here and start typing. What is this dopamine that comes with scrolling? Is it the right or left brain whatever that produces it? I need to meet it and rebuke it in the name of Jesus! Weuh! Stealer of time! Crusher of writing dreams! Postponer of sleep. Shindwe kabisa (should be defeated completely)... Well, you know I had to mention why I got late to write. Scrolling! Puh!  Today was pretty interesting. I was reminded of a few years back when I was angry at an absent and passive father. Contexts can be long so I won't give it. My colleagues and I discussed something very interesting over lunch. It started with my colleague revealing that she was writing a paper on the effects of parenting styles on teens. I jumped to ask her to include youth and adults. Well, we all know how the parenting we received messed some of us up - big time.  I thought I had gone through hell. I think hers was a hell of 7 times more than the fire Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego
