The silent Years

I know you've been there; done it and probably still doing it .Sends thrills down your spine just thinking about how long you've been there. How many times you thought you had a voice and for sure this had to be it then went ahead and found yourself in an even tighter solitary confinement.

Am talking about when God is silent....and its funny the way He handles his business, He sends a word  or puts a vision in your heart and assures you of how his word will never go back to him without bearing fruits. Then he takes a rain check ...and He doesn't even call to say that maybe He’s stuck in traffic or something came up and He would be there in an hour or so. So you wait, and wait and wait (am not good at this ...I like results, communication, a plan of some sort) .Until you finally decide am going to get going and hope God catches up with me only to come back to waiting because it isn't going as you thought ...and sometimes you even stop waiting, you decide it’s better to have your own little plans that you know you can handle on your own .God can be such a snob sometimes....really?

Habakkuk 2:3

3 For the revelation await an appointed time;
    it speaks of the end
    and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
    it[a] will certainly come
    and will not delay.

Ok! I don’t know if this is good news ... a lot of lingering and waiting but there is an assurance .Sometimes we are so afraid of the unknown but I came to learn that the unknown is actually the best place to be because the unknown is only known to God not even the devil is preview to this. How amazing.

So it may be silent but it sure isn't quiet...there’s  a lot going on.....and with time you begin o understand the silence ,you learn to be still and be part of  the silent conversations and one day you clearly begin to hear the instructions.

Don’t sweat it, in a little while you will look back and wonder how you got there how you were transformed ...you will look in the mirror and wonder who that self assured, confident wonderful individual is. I can’t wait as I keep waiting in the silence.

Its time to listen..to soak in to be ministered to...always good to hear from God

Once Majestic!

So the Lion is a majestic animal. Stands in full pride as the king of the jungle...shakes its mane and we all just shudder at how powerful it can be .When you walked around with it, everyone was in awe of what power you possessed, how you walked fearless and hopeful. It happens you know....the lion dies.....it just falls down dead...doesn't matter how it just died. Sad ha! Its ok, you can mourn ...cry ,throw things...ask why...think over and over on what you can do to bring it back to life or what you could have done to save it. But finally the lion has to be buried.

You see it’s a Carcass now...meaning its dead! it don’t talk ..it don’t  listen..its cold. I know you want to keep it close because it gives you a sense of security, a sense of worth or achievement of some sort. You see it’s probably stinking right now, so you are walking around with a stench and you have to drag dead weight, that’s why you have aches and pains all over your body. 

It doesn't look good anymore, some parts are rotting away and you beginning to see the skeleton, maybe that’s why you get the nightmares! Just the form of it there gives you crazy memories and you are stuck in what it used to be. 

But you know what ,the once Majestic Lion is no more....It’s DEAD!

Could it be a job you lost, a lucrative business deal that went bad a venture that has simply become a burden or a relationship that did not work.Maybe even a childhood that to hate to relive.

Maybe it’s time to bury it...let it go. Beauty about letting go is not that you  gave up but you simply left it in the hands of the one who knows it all.

Don’t camp in the grave yard after burial!!!!!!

Do you really Love those Chicken Necks

Ok this has nothing to do with the Nyeri  drama.

So this man called his wife, overexcited. “Honey you won’t believe what I just got you.”

The wife was overjoyed because it had been long since the husband bought her anything....but she had to wait till he got back home because it was meant to be a surprise.

Feeling so proud of himself for all the effort he had put into the big surprise drove back home with anticipation. Having been married for years and after the Kids he had not spent so much time and resource on his wife. This would definitely rekindle something.

He got home and sure enough the wife was waiting... too anxious and excited at the same time. And the anticipation grew even more as she saw the big parcel he carried; for sure she could tell this was something he had put a lot of thought into.

“Honey this is just to let you know that I do listen to you and know what you love” he said as he handed over the parcel.Of course she tore through the wrap to get to the surprise. She was finally able to unwrap and guess what CHICKEN NECKS....a whole two kilograms of Chicken necks. Her smile suddenly collapsed into a dead fish look and she turned her gaze to her husband who stood there sheepishly greening to the thought of the thank you he was going to receive that night.....To his surprise she run to the bedroom crying and banged the door behind her.....leaving him confused.

Am sure you are also wondering what the heck is going on in this home.....Ok so here is the Genesis of the story. You see just like many of us wives ,mothers or just women...This lady had a habit of serving herself the neck every time they cook chicken. She felt like she wanted her family to have the best and therefore in the spirit of putting herself last and family first she would pick out the less fleshy part that most people don’t like so that her husband and children could then serve their favorite parts. So for a long time the man wondered why she did that and finally concluded that she must really love chicken necks. So when he found a palace where he could get only chicken necks and at a throw away price  ...he bought as many as he could..Just for her you see!

The man was simply responding to how his wife treated herself.This goes to show that we do really show people how to treat us. If you don’t like something honey ,then don’t take it, don’t serve it, don’t eat it. It is bad for you...please don’t put yourself through something unbearable in the name of humbling yourself or making everyone else happy.This actually applies in many areas of our lives...at work, relationships, dealing with your clients and even relating to our selves. Sometimes we find ourselves in awkward situations because we felt woishe woishe .....   or we wanted to be accepted or afraid that you will not get love in return...but listen if it’s not good for you it’s not good for you.People never get the 'its only a one time thing theory'....If you show them that you can take it then they will pour it on you in their full measure. Here is where the big lesson on setting boundaries  applies...yes you love them, yes you respect them and yes you are willing to do anything  to support  them but If it only demeans you and allows others to take advantage then stand up and be counted.....! If it hurts ,then say it...if you feel reaped of take measures.You only got you to take you through this life. Also don’t confuse those who love you, show them how to truly value such a miracle like you...It will be good for them in the end.

You must be wondering what happened to the couple.....Well,they had to go for counseling ,the wife could not just let this go...haha!
