In need of sheding off excess weight

It's been really long since i posted something on my blog and today i feel like updating it, though i don't know what to say. The latest and current updates of my life are neither here nor there, i am in between the stretch to reaching some 'peak of some mountain' the mountain symbolizing some outputs to projects, some short and long term achievements.

I can see the progress but i have forces that are pulling me down and others which are pulling me up. Good news is, no situation is permanent and i soon hope to be climbing up my mountain with lesser baggage and lesser forces pulling me down.

He was and still will be one of my hero’s!

He has been truly blessed and loved by God, he was an old man who fulfilled his days, as many as the days of a tree, he has lived to over 100 years, seen up to his 4th generation, just as it is prophesied in Isaiah 65:20-22, a life many of us would wish for! Now he has rested peacefully and all we can say is, it is well. Thank you God for my grandfather and the wonderful time you enable us to share. We celebrate his life!

For a couple of years now he has been feeling like he is dying, he used to say that the angels are near to taking him home, i guess its the feeling you get when you feel that you have lived your full potential and every other day is a gift, a real bonus day from God. Maybe we have had that so many times before and now that it has happened for real it sounds like it shouldn't, i still thought there would be more and more bonus days!

An amazing guy,my hero! This is how it was being around him sometimes after visiting the village

Blogging live from Addis

It’s been a while (read about 12 months) since i was last in this country, Ethiopia. The place brings to me some very fond memories and particularly since the first time i ever entered a plane to take a real trip and not for some primary school learning session brought me to Ethiopia and that was quite something! All the procedures in the airport, the check-in and i remember i had my belt, earrings, bangles and many other things beeping at the security checks, finding out what the food tastes like on the plan and it also took me an entire week packing my suitcase, talk of doing something for the first time!

Well, it’s interesting how this time round i packed on Sunday night and i left on Monday and i was only interested in attending the workshop, doing my information management work, offer support to the logistics team and take the 1st flight back to Nairobi no chance to greet my friends from here, or probably it is because i have so many other things going on parallel back home. Nevertheless, besides the extreme cold and nursing a wet nose, i am enjoying eating my injera and am wondering will i really get sometime off to go and shop, for some reason i always find clothes that fit me better here than when am at home, where i find them an inch bigger.

My plane leaves tomorrow (Thursday) night and then I hop off to Eldoret to join the rest of my family to saying goodbye to my brother-in-law’s mum. Quite a week for someone who doesn't quite like operating from the suitcase but i still appreciate the change of weather! c'est la vie

In the kitchen with Kamama

The only reason that i can come up with for standing in my kitchen for an hour or more even more after a busy day at work, and this is normally a meal for just my tummy is that i must like cooking but i also tend to think that this liking has come about as a result of wanting to just eat my meals. Like sometimes i look at a restaurant menu, order a meal, eat it but at the back of my mind am thinking, I can do a much better job. So this notion of doing much better, makes me challenge myself. Anyways, it’s really cool whenever i make something and see the outcomes (successful outcomes i mean).

Below are some of delicacies i have made in the recent past.




This is pilau, which is one of my FAVOURITES dishes and i have discovered that having some peppered beans and steamed cabbages makes its delicious meal.






Pasta and spaghetti is slowly becoming another of my favourites, this was very very yummy, thing is i can’t clearly say what i did to the chicken, if only i was recording the procedure it was more of a random cooking but the outcome......mhmmm let me let the picture speak for itself. Mixed with stir fry vegetable, makes a delicious meal.


One of the things in my bucket list for cooking is learning to to make brown chapatis with ghee, i can imagine how yummy there can be, this make me salivate.

It's time to go home and cook :-)

The Power of Prayer, a Message of Encouragement

When I woke up this morning I didn’t know that I would find myself an opportunity to be able to share with other believers about the word of God. Every Tuesday and Thursday believers at my work place meet together for lunch time fellowship, on Tuesday’s we normally have one of the believers sharing the word of God and Thursday we meet for prayers. So today being a Tuesday the person who was supposed to be preaching wasn’t able and when I was asked to preach, the dynamics of my day changed.

After thinking about it for about 45 minutes I realised that He who has the Son of God has a testimony and each and every single day is a miracle and a testimony from the Lord. It was this knowledge that made arise to the challenge and decided to be speaker of the day. Since I decided to subdue myself to the authority of the Lord, my life has taken a 360 degrees turn, I am experiencing new miracles every day, just like this past Sunday when I was doing the Bible reading during the first service in Church and I was also seated in the pastor’s office the same day. God has lifted me up so much, i can only praise Him.

So today the title of my sermon was The Power of Prayer, a Message of Encouragement and the bible text was from 1Samuel 19: 18-24. This particular verse talks of the story of David and in that particular time King Saul was after his life and David decided to run to where Samuel was and together they started engaging in prayer. Saul sent messengers 3 times to look for David and when they came to the place where they were and found them praying they got confused and started prophesying and the same happed when Saul himself went also to look for David himself, he also started prophesying and David’s life was spared.

This particular passage teaches us that through prayer we disarm the enemy totally, it teaches us that we should know where to run to when we face challenges, where do our support lies in time of trouble? Who are our support pillars? Is it in people who can strengthen us through prayer?

Through prayers Jesus set me free from where the devil had me bound, the prayers of fellow believers steered me to places where I am developing and growing in Christ. I encourage each one of us to persistent in prayer, to pray for ourselves, our families, friends, colleagues, the nation and the universe because it is by prayer that we overcome.

I Thes 5: 17 Pray without ceasing
Col 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving

Well i just had to come back here to capture this moment after many months of starting a new blog in vain!

The last post

Thymoments has been a good place for me to capture and cherish the moments of my life. Through it have written like I never thought I would. Back in primary and high school my languages used to give me a hard time, much as I thought that I had outdone myself in writing a good composition it was only according to me! According to the teacher well it was simply average work, nothing to report about. Wait till I found myself in a position at work where I needed to communicate on a regular basis and just not to anyone but to important people, my clientele more like sell and convince someone to buy through email and this was not only a matter of marks at the end of the term but a matter of bread at the end of the day, I needed a breakthrough. Among others, thymoments was one such way, I learnt how to better put thought on paper.

When I started living by myself and needed someone who can always be there anytime to listen to me, thymoments fulfilled a small bit, maybe bigger than what am calling small of that need. The blog made me make ‘news’ in local press for some extra coins at the end of the month – talk of being able to write a good composition :), many of the goals have been realised.

After a lot of thinking and deliberating I have decided to stop writing for thymoments. While some of its goals have been accomplished there others that I can say are deep rooted in me and i have new thoughts and ideas. This is my last post on this blog, however I don’t want to stop writing, to stop capturing and cherishing thy moments, I want to keep some of the dreams and the ideas I developed since June 2008 alive and I want to keep working on my artistic side, 'potential unused turns into pain' R. Sharma. With the many reasons and in line with my theme for this year, 2011 is a new century for new things and also for a new blog of which I share with my dear followers in due time.

To my blog, thanks. To my followers and other fans thank you too, until my next blog. Kamama

Of my Friday Evening

What to talk about? Will I be interesting or boring? Will I be asked tough questions, or none at all? Will I supply the right answers? Will my talk contribute even a little bit to their knowledge, overall betterment? Will there be a message or two for someone to go home with? Will they discard it all?

I wonder all those as I wonder how my 30mins talk to the Rotaract Muthaiga club will be this evening. As a member and past secretary where I used to attend most of the meetings, take minutes and critically analyze the many guests speakers that we have had and the kind of impact they left to the bunch of young people who look out to the future with great expectations now it’s my turn. I don’t work in those fields that touch everyone’s life like a banker or an insurer or a doctor or a nutritionist but perhaps I can throw in some agricultural matters, statistical issues, information communication matters eeew that doesn’t even excite me!

Much as am not a guru of some sort I think that everyone has a story to tell. Life is a journey and narrating the adventures of it and the lessons learnt make a good enough story. Since the topic is mine to choose and I have the liberty to talk about anything and everything, then I believe that sharing the little bits and pieces that makes me me aside from what is seen on the outside will be a good enough story and more so to people that I consider friends, as for the enemies I pray that they will have the grace to bear.

No more sweating it out over unrealistic expectations, simply me and simply what I feel comfortable sharing. Maybe one day in a couple of years when am a guru of something then I will have a more focused discussion but one has to start with baby steps and has to be brave enough to take them.

Achieved Vs Pending

Today i found myself browsing in my 2009 diary and i came across a page with the title '2009 The Year in Evaluation' while i was reading through the various sub-titles and small point in each of them i found myself ticking either i)achieved or ii)pending. My achievements made me smile and i realised just how important it is to actually write stuff down, to me, it means that i believed in them and wanted them badly enough thus all my actions and energy at those moments was channeled towards those success. The pending ones mad me feel sad, i feel like those are areas that have been really stagnating and there things that i have been writing down in my plans since i cant even remember when sigh! I just hope that i can mark achieved next to the pending SOON.

What was in my diary came from an old Robin Sharma's newsletter and after i spent about 30mins (so annoying) in my PC searching for the article so that i can jot down my plan for 2011 in my 2009 diary :-) i thought it best to write the points down in my beloved thymoments so that next time i can be sure it will take fewer minutes to search for it.

Sometimes it feels like this is a joint blog between Kamama and Robin Sharma, his posts have really feature here! Anyhow...


In summary here are the key points.

THE #1 SKILL OF SUPER SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

We're just about done 2009. On January, 1, 2010, you get a fresh 365 days. A new chance. To create the single best year of your life to date. Most will waste this opportunity and make the new year a repeat of the one just past. Sad. But true. But a few will wake up to the possibility and do 7 things that will ensure 2010 is the most unforgettable twelve months they have experienced yet. Want to be one of the fortunate few? Here's what to do:

Step #1: Evaluate 2009. Do a written story recording what went well this past year and, even more importantly, what areas you could improve on. Also list all your wins and as many high points as you can recall. Get a clear picture of how you showed up.

Step #2: Set Your Theme. Come up with a theme for 2010. It may be "The Year of Financial Freedom" or "The Year of Work Excellence" or "The Year of Fearlessness". But get a theme into a document you can start reviewing every week.

Step #3: Create a Mission. The next step is to develop a one paragraph mission statement and put it into this document. Clarity precedes mastery so the more clear your ultimate mountaintop for 2010 is, the greater your focus will be. And the most positive results you'll see.

Step #4: List Your Big 5. OK, now ask yourself this powerful self-coaching question: "What 5 things need to happen between now and December 31, 2010 for this to have been the single most successful year of my life to date?" Write down those five goals as simply and clearly as possible into this document.

Step #5: Sequence Your Big 5. Now break your Big 5 down into quarterly goals. Set 5 core goals for the first/second/third and fourth quarters of 2010 to ensure you nail your Big 5. Review these every week. Reflect on them everyday if you really want to win. Make these strategic objectives the sole focus of your life.

Step #6: Refocus Every Morning. Life's job is to distract you. Your job is to stay staggeringly focused on what's most important. Take 15 minutes during your morning resetting period to reflect on your goals, to envision your best moves and to track out a day that's productive, passionate and fun.

Step #7: Get Devoted to Learning. The #1 skill of super successful people is that they are relentless learners. While others are wasting time on low-value websites or watching mindless reality tv shows, they are listening to audio programs, studying books on leadership and success and basically creating a rich, beautiful and meaningful life. As you journey through each day of 2010, make the time to fuel your brain with ideas on excellence and creating your absolute best. Nothing's more important than that. And please remember that all it takes is a single idea to transform the way you lead and how you live.

To smile more and from within

Its one of those days today, the morning seems longer than usual, it’s a bright and sunny day but not so bright in my soul, I don’t feel like talking or smiling much today. It could be that it’s because I didn’t have my quiet devotion this morning or that I didn’t wake up with a smile and take my bible and say ‘this is my bible, I am what it says I am, I can do what it says I can do’ considering that if had quite a nice weekend with my family. But then maybe that could just be the source, when you sit together as a family and start sharing your successes and struggles and then you discover that your loved ones are struggling more than you thought.



In my quest to brighten up this day, I found myself browsing through this post by pastor Joel Osteen on Understanding you value; http://www.joelosteen.com/HopeForToday/ThoughtsOn/Family/understandingyourvalue/Pages/understandingyourvalue.aspx.

In one of the paragraphs he says ‘People may tell you, "You're just too small." But God says, "You're just the right size for Me." People may say, "You're not talented. We don't need you. You don't have anything to offer." But God says, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are talented. You are creative. You are anointed. You are smart. You are intelligent. You are amazing."
‘I know some of you have gone through more than your share of unfair situations. But here's what I've learned. Even though life is not fair, God is fair. If you will not go around thinking there is something wrong with you, but instead start seeing yourself as handpicked by God – valuable, lovable, with something great to offer - then God said He will pay you back double for your former shame. That means He'll make the rest of your life twice as good as it would have been if that had never even happened to you.’

To be reminded this morning that I have been handpicked by God got the smile that I had been craving for all day long. I hope you enjoy your day as much as am looking forward to enjoy the rest of mine!!

Not in any order, some are:

I will forge on with the hope of a better tomorrow and a gracious heart because I believe that each and every new day is a miracle and a blessing from God in itself.

In the presence of the Lord miracles do happen

A couple of weeks down while we were driving down from Eldoret for what was a great family function our car had a terrible accident. It was hit by another car and totally lost control, the memories are still so fresh in my mind, I can see my brother in law who was driving the car holding the steering wheel and trying hard to control the car. Anyone who has been in an accident will tell you that once a vehicle loses control, there is very little if at all anything one can humanly possible do to control it.

We were at the mercy of the heavens while this machine circled around the road and then right and then left again and soon it was flying out of the road to start rolling, my mind had seen us being pulled out of the over turned car. This was one of the scariest things I have been involved in and it was all happening so fast. I had been talking to my friend over the phone at the same time and we got cut off in the commotion.

Just when we were out of the road to start rolling over, suddenly the car came to a standstill. It was at this point I felt the mighty hand of God, He had taken over and made the car come to a complete stop.

The next thing I saw was people running all over to where we were to see the extent of the damage and soon a mammoth crowd of people had surrounded the car. My two sisters, niece, our friend and I all sat still in the mangled up position, all to shocked to move and not really knowing what to do, I believe everyone was making silent prayers thanking God for saving us.

It took the effort a lady who came to my side of the door and asked me to come out of the car, she politely asked if we were hurt and I said no and then she assured me that it was okay to come out. When we were out is when we got to see what had stopped, the car was held by a molehill which stopped it from rolling and crashing in the bushes.

My friend called back and I fuzzily explained what happened, he tried to ask for the details which I couldn’t make out at that time because of the shock. I wanted and I guess what we all want to hear in such a situation is some assuring words and when he said he was coming to help us out the adrenaline levels came down an inch, he was my knight in shining armour at that moment!

When he did arrive and a few minutes later my brother and mother who were in another car ahead of us came back things began to look up. We were able to make some decisions on how to proceed with the journey and what help to call for.

It was a miraculous event, sometimes this year I set out to memorise Psalm 91, the prayer of protection and indeed as it’s written in the chapters His Angels took charge over us and we did not dash our foot against a stone. My little nice has been singing praise kiddies song in the car all along the journey and indeed her kiddies praises anointed the car.

There is power in prayer and there is power in the name of Jesus and this is my testimony.

Immersed in the Pool of Water: My Baptism

On Saturday 4th December I was baptized by immersion at Parkland Baptist Church where I have been fellowshipping for almost two and half years now. How did all this come to be? For a very long time I have been meaning to become a member of the church, this calls for attending membership classes. For the times when i have attended the service and every Sunday when I see the announcement for the membership classes I have always found reason for not attending. Where some of those reasons were valid, many are the ones that could have been avoided I was a victim of the procrastination, shamefully!

So this time round when I finally saw the announcement I knew my chance was here and now and I decided to go for the Thursday class. The classes run for 5 weeks and as part of being a member of the Baptist church one of the requirements was that one should be baptized by immersion, after the acceptance of Christ. After signing up for baptism and talking to my small sister she reminded me that I had been baptized by immersion years back when I was a teenage, can’t quite recall the exact age in Catholic church and this was after being baptized by sprinkling in the Anglican church when I was about 5 or 6 years, its only through the pictures that I was aware such an event happened!

After much thinking about it I decided that I still wanted to be baptized, yes for the 3rd time in my life. Why? Because this time I felt that the decision was being made by a fully grown woman. It was not a decision influenced by my parents, it’s a decision being influence by me, meaning that I am more responsible for it.
So as I walked to meet the deacon inside the cold water for the immersion and he held my hand, I felt like I was experiencing a new rebirth. God’s timing is perfect and that was my time and I felt peace and calmness in my heart.

“Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised through dead by the glory of the Father even so we also should walk in the newness of life.” Roman 6: 4 And the same was significant of my life and my sins and as I walked out of the water my prayer was that I will walk in the newness of Christ thanking Him for cleansing and washing my sins away.

I feel free, happy, healed and so proud for making that move, I am looking forward to being a member of the Church on Sunday the 12th. I am even happier of the friends that I have made because it creates some form of accountability to each other and my greatest prayer is that I may continue to obey God’s word and live a life that is pleasing to Him.

I wouldn’t have thought of a better way for marking the year 2010 than this!
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14

Memories from Rome

my dashboard in italian!

My first trip out of Africa is in Rome, yesterday i was welcomed by a sunny and lovely day contrary to what i expected, thank heavens for that. Today it has been cold and raining, am worried for my black African hair since i forgot my hair drier something most people here don't seem to be worried about, i mean they can simply dry their hairs in the sun and it will look as good as.

Quick run down of my day yesterday
9.00am - arrived in Rome
10.00am - welcoming, grand and yummy breakfast at my colleagues house
11.30-2.30pm - power nap (too long!)
3.00pm - trip to see our shared apartment
4.00pm - small tour and walk around the city, first stop was icecream at Piazza or something, then went to Pantheon and saw some stature and a spot where they filmed angels and demons, this was the highlight of the walk! another interesting thing was being entered by the lovely music at the many open areas.
6.00pm - back to the apartment
7.30pm - dinner with the house mates, had a bit of an over expectation on the food didnt like as much, i simply love Kenyan cuisines. Eat the famous artichoke (deep fried)
9.30pm - hitting the pillow, for an early sleep

I am not struggling over it

Yesterday was a day spent worrying, worrying, worrying and i achieved nothing, only an emotional day with very little job production. It is hard to plan when the future doesn't seem quite clear but life is all but a series of phases, a time to start and a time to complete, a time to receive, a time to spend and a time to look for more. Looks like its coming to a time a completion and being the good planner that i am i am trying to see beyond the completion however that part is out of my control for now.

My pastor's word for Sunday is really coming to play today. I realise better than yesterday that the battle is already won whether i am up or down the battle is already won, God knows the outcome so why should i trouble my little head! He knows what is best.

Today i choose to do my best and do all that i can without trying to imagine what will happen in the months to come, the rest will figure itself out..

Being unique

I have been thinking of the social networking sites that exist. I must confess I love face book: it’s fun, user friendly, quick and easy to learn the functionality, gives you the option of selecting what you want, kids use it even my grandpa am sure he can learn how to use if he was technologically advantaged.

Many other social networking sites have come up since and many try to work on the same principle, on the move status updates, connecting with people and many more. But none really works for me like face book does and many of my friends seem to concur with me. I have a twitter account, which I update here and there, I don’t see anything quite spectacular about it, there is also an official in the office communication group, it is a good way of getting to know what people are working on and also sharing information but not many people use it and also being an official communicating tool and the cordial relationship that we want to maintain and also the fact that it limits one’s imagination on their extent of sharing information, makes it a bit restrictive. Needless to say am sure there are people who like other tools as much as I like face book.

Many other social networking sites are being invented but I think there needs to be something different and something special about them. Any innovator should try and see what is unique to their product and capitalize on it, I was told in my research class that there is nothing new that my future (few months to come) research work will uncover since most of the research has already been done and what I should try and do is look for where the gaps are to fill them, while this might be true, I also think that there could be something new for me to unearth, I mean we are all unique creatures, the brains that invented something years ago are not mine so I can still do something new. The most successful companies I know have made a niche in the market, what yours? what’s mine?

Firing up the adrenaline levels

I have just discovered that I need some form of excitement in my life. Something to build up my adrenalin levels. I believe in constantly redefining my north. Life should not be a boring plateau of same old same old routine and procedures – as they said variety is the spice of life and I need to add in some flavor.

I recall that when I was a fair swimmer I used to go to the pool with great enthusiasm, hoping that that was the day when I would swim all the way to the deep end and back and not be scared or the day when I would float on my back. Now I still love to swim but it’s more of a fitness regime. I want to start learning tennis, I want to start hitting the ball and I hope that this can bring some thrill and flavor in my life.

Investment – I want to start up some business or some investment venture. Renew the zeal that I had when I was carrying out my t-shirt business.

To me life should not be the same old procedure. It should be about encountering new experiences, new challenges, trying new and different things and aren’t all the options available in the world for us to explore them?

I could scream of joy

the best advice i was once given by a former boss who played a keen role in mentoring my career upto this stage and i wish to share with other young guys is to work hard (smart) and money will follow in due time. It has followed me, Hallelujah!

It's a happy day, a happy day, a happy day. I link this to my first post this year. Whatever one confesses with her/his mouth and believes in their heart surely comes to pass. one is really what they say there are, the power of the tongue and confessing good things upon your life...



jumbled up post, but its all in the spirit of capturing and sharing the moments right ;-). Tomorrow God willing i will have intrinsic lessons to share.

Another Birthday - Happy belated birthday Kamama ;-)

I just couldn't resist the temptation, to say it truthfully its more of pressure to write this article, you see my writing grease has kinda run out and now its not as smooth as it used though i still like to keep rolling the writing rollers.

I mean it's June, the month of my birthday and that is a BIG BIG deal, forget about people who say that they don't event notice when there's are approaching and i would like to come back here one day remind myself how it was turning 27!

So the day of my real birthday the 16th, i was in the middle of my exams and never managed to do anything big, actually i had -ve physc for any events. Nevertheless, i went out for coffee and cake with my friends, talk of a surprise coffee and cake plan, i love u guys...u made it special in its own way.

June 26, was thee day. How did it all happen? Am randomly talking to my colleague and she offers to buy a birthday cake, leave alone the fact that i had been asking myself why i didn't have any and i had been buying and organizing cake for my family members - they say its always comes back pressed down shaken together- yes it did for me (sample that beautiful cake in the pic above). Another one offers to bring some brandy glasses, and another one say they don't mind that i have limited space in the house they wanna come and see my new house and celebrate with me. Their wish was gladly my command and i had a gathering of friends at home and we had a memorable time chatting and talking and later on went out dancing.

Crap has happened in year 26 but i tried to keep it together all the same. Am still alive, i can still the sun rise and set everyday, i can still smile, i made more good friends all i can do now is say Thank You God and am sorry that i sometimes trip and fail to listen to your voice. Continue holding my hand in this journey called life and open my ears that i may listen and obey. I pray for a rewarding and happy new year with plenty of love and joyous moments.
