Rising Star

I have always wanted to write about my life experiences during the not so many years I have lived on this earth. More specifically though, I have always wanted to write about one area of my life. I desire to write about this part of my life for two reasons: to let out the hurt, pain and bitterness and also so that others may read and learn from me. So, i chanced to listen to Bishop David Murithi of House of Grace (Nairobi) on Citizen T.V. His sermon had the heading: Facing Your Insecurity. This issue particularly affects my life. Even though I have outgrown some of the sensitive issues that threatened to cripple my life, I realize i still encounter effects of it in my daily activities. I will tell you about my self. I am an introvert. I am melancholic. It is said of this personality that they are reserved, keep to themselves, talk very little and mostly prefer to be at the background. Being in the limelight is not their forte. Well, I am all that and much more positives and negativ...

For the longest time I can remember, my life always seemed pretty boring and predictable. My personality was such that I preferred more quiet and uninvolving engagements compared to my siblings and friends. While in secondary school and at the university too, I was branded a no-nonsense and a too serious for life girl. It is no wonder that I always excelled in my academics since I put much more effort in school than any other activities. This personality, however, proved both a blessing and a curse. In as much as I did so well in school, it made me so unpopular with my college mates. So, it was no surprising that I had very few friends especially of the opposite sex. While my class mates were busy juggling between books and relationships, I solely concentrated on my school work. My hard work did pay off because I graduated top of my class with a job offer to boot. It was, indeed, a great crowning to my sweat when, for the first time in my life, I held a payslip. I thought of al...

I have been reprimanding myself for not updating my blog more often. I do not like making resolutions aloud but I would like to try and write better and more this 2013. So, how was my 2012? Well, i remember starting the year with so much hope, promise, energy, vibrancy and all the positive nouns i can think of. I felt like i could take on the world and achieve any thing i wanted. Days, weeks and months down the year, i achieved some, failed some, got knocked down, picked myself up, got discouraged, encouraged myself to trudge on and finally finished the year. So, here goes: Spirituality One of my greatest achievement and by far the most important was that i deliberately grew more prayerful and worked on my relationship  with God. On reflection, i think this is one aspect that kept me going despite the fall backs and disappointments. Friends I decided that there are some people i am going to leave in 2012. Unfortunately, most of these people are of the male gender. They ...
