Lord my God, how majestic is your name
You've displayed the splendour of you glory
When I gaze at the night and see your works
The mo0on and the stars that you have set in place
Oh what am I that you should think of me
And who am I that you would care for me
You have ordained, praise from my mouth
So I will praise, yes I will praise
You have made me a little lower than the angels
And you crown me with glory and majesty
All authority through you is mine
Over all things on earth and all in the air
What am I that you should think of me
And who am I that you should care for me
And you have silenced all my enemies
With my praise you have silenced all my enemies
You have ordained praise from my mouth
So I will praise, yes I will praise
Bare, Naked, whatever, See my Heart!

Excess luggage
Last week I went out of town for an overnight stay so I had to pack an overnight bag which ended up being a suitcase........women I know. My 'dad' thought it was insane how much stuff I carried whenever we went away from home but thats just me. I am always the last to be checked in at an airport because I have to pay for excess luggage. There is always a trailer attached to the car to carry my extra bags.
The thing is I am always at a loss of what to pack and what to leave. Not that I am concious about what I wear but I dont like ending up to need something and I have not got it, I just get frustrated. At work they have a joke about my handbag cos you could fit a football easily in it and when we run out of supplies,they always joke that you can find some in my bag. I call it being prepared for any situation. Thats what they have been grooming me in university for. You dont turn up unprepared, you research and find all flaws and strong points, you dont ask questions you dont already know the answers to. If all that fails you resort to putting on a great performance and that I can easily do.
Anyway where am I going with this luggage thing? I attend a graduation ceremony and bump into some guy from Primary school....what are the odds small world eh. It takes a while for me to register his face but he has no problem in figuring out who I am. We chat and he starts laughing about something that happened what seems like a world away. He reminds me that when we left school I wasnt speaking to him and the story came flooding back to mind
He had teased me about not being good enough about something and the reason was that I was a girl. In my mind at that time, that was a great insult that I could not let it go. After a great telling off that left his ears ringing, I never spoke to him again.
My mum always says that were it not for God, I wouldnt forgive.......I agree to disagree. Along the way there are people I have branded morons and though I have professed to have forgiven, I dont forget I can hold a grudge for ages without wavering. My excuse is that I dont forget, I have a mind that remembers the first poem I ever did in school, the lines to plays I have taken part in, how can I forget?
It becomes worse when I do something that is completely out of character, I am my worst enemy, I beat myself up over and over again there is no end to it. Does that weigh me down oh yes and there is a hefty price for this excess luggage.
It buffles my that God in all His wisdon is patient with the likes of me, waiting at the end for me to run into His arms. What kind of love is this? How could He know me so well yet love me the same? I am overwhelmed
So I am learning to fly light
Each day I am letting go
Dreams shattered
Wounds not healed
Promises broken
They cant hold me back
With arms open wide
I am embracing whats new
My excess luggage
I leave it with with Jesus

where did I put my glasses
I was late this morning because I couldn't find my glasses. For some reason they weren't where I thought I had left them the night before. I searched everywhere I could think possible for them but still couldn't find them. This meant everything would take longer to do cos I am approaching blind. My makeup brushes took longer to find, never mind the tiny earrings that I have been wanting to wear for a while.
Oh well looked like it would be contacts day i said to myself.
Off to the bathroom I went to try n get them in my eyes and guess what? one of them fell in the sink and hard as I tried, I just couldnt pick it out, it was gone for good and that was my last pair...................
Oh joy I was definitely going to be late don't matter how fast I got ready. But what good would it be to venture out to work of I couldn't see properly...help was needed. I asked my sister to come help me look for my glasses. So there we were on our hands and knees searching everywhere possible and just as I was about to loose hope, there they were under my pillow. Now how they got there is a mystery in itself but hey I could see.
So out of the door got into the car and off to work and as usual stuck in traffic. Normally I would get so agitated about waiting but not today, I reflect upon my morning fiasco. I realised how much I depended on my glasses, my whole world would come to a halt if I didn't have them unless God restored my sight.
Then that got me thinking of how broken a person I am, so in need of mending that I can not stand on my own. If for some reason I ever broke my legs I would appreciate the use of a wheelchair or some crutches.
But I haven't got broken legs, am just broken from within and I am so glad that I have Jesus to lean on while He puts me back together again piece by piece. He is not a crutch.... no He is the bone in my leg, the very reason for my being.

Only the world
Been a hard one, been a bad one, been a tough one, been a sad one,
Its been one of those days that keep chipping away in my heart
Nothing new here, its what I do here, its a steriotypical day in this life
I'm surrounded by all the pain and the strife but I know its alright
Cos its only the world I'm living in
It's only a day I've been given
There aint no way I'm giving in
Cos its only the world
I know the best is still yet to come
Cos even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more than only the world to me
Anybody can you hear me? Do you feel me: I mean do you feel me
I know I'm not the only one bearing the weight of this world
We've got problems-say its alright
Take a good look around, we're just stuck on the ground for a little while
Cos heaven is a place where every tear on every face will be wiped away
Oh and I cant wait to go but for now its enough to know that this is only to the glory of His name
Its only the world
Its been one of those days that keep chipping away in my heart
Nothing new here, its what I do here, its a steriotypical day in this life

LEARNING FROM JIGSAW PUZZLES
Everything I Needed to Know About Life I Learned From a Jigsaw Puzzle:
1. Don't force a fit -- if something is meant to be, it will come together naturally.
2. When things aren't going so well, take a break. Everything will look different when you return.
3. Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little pieces only leads to frustration.
4. Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit, piece by piece.
5. When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back later (see #4).
6. The creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook. Refer to the Creator's guidebook often.
7. Variety is the spice of life. It's the different colors and patterns that make the puzzle interesting.
8. Working together with friends and family makes any task fun.
9. Establish the border first. Boundaries give a sense of security and order.
10. Don't be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are surprising.
11. Take time often to celebrate your successes (even little ones).
12. Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can't be rushed.
13. When you finally reach the last piece, don't be sad. Rejoice in the masterpiece you've made and enjoy a well-deserved rest.

The Lord is my Light and My Salvation
I forget. I forget the promise,
I forget that no foe has a chance against my Lord.
I forget that there is no enemy who can come close to overcoming the
stronghold of the Lord.
I forget that God is strong enough, powerful enough, wise enough,
loving enough, resourceful enough, and is determined to protect me
from anything, or anyone that may try to harm me.
When life gets dark I forget that He is my light. When I am in the
midst of battle I forget that He is my salvation. When I feel weak and
weary and worn-down I forget that He is my stronghold.
I forget, so I must learn to remind myself

When life gets dark I forget that He is my light. When I am in the

weary and worn-down I forget that He is my stronghold.
I forget, so I must learn to remind myself
When others are afraid, or discouraged, or weary, or near defeat, I
must remember to remind them.
So, just in case that description fits you, I remind you, "The Lord is
your light and your salvation-whom shall you fear? The Lord is the
stronghold of your life-of whom shall you be afraid?"

Impassed
Am impassed not just by two politicians, but impassed. my prayer life is impassed. i pray and it hits (or is it heats) the roof, i call out loud and am impassed. my one true friend has impassed me.
Jesus, surely your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, surely you'll keep me in perfect peace (he whose mind is stayed on thee), surely oops.......i digress
i looked at my life and found the reasons. i was pushing my own agenda. i fought and fought but the thing was my agenda. it has conditions that Jesus must meet, my beloved friend must meet, and you wont believe it, i also lay conditions about the kind of life i will live with the Lord. he is a bystander....you know a silent listener to my foul speech, callous nature and party spirit.....surely he was not going to be head over this my house? am impassed.
woi Raila, woi Kibaki.... YOU ARE JUST but proving one thing. your selfishness is true of me everyday......i'd do the same thing if i were in your place..........so as i pray for the impasse in the nation to end, i am only too aware that you have no power of your own to stop being selfish. i will believe in His Spirit.....cos its not by might, nor by power but by his spirit.
So dear Lord. clear this great chasm for me and my friend and this nation. it is all i ask.

sad today?
There is good reason for everything today. There will be good reason for everything tomorrow. What we do today when we are sad will determine tomorrows everything.
comment on kenyan situation
Open your eyes to the good things that God is doing. If you don't see them its not because he isn't doing it but you are too preoccupied with anxiety. 'Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God'
All the time fear occurs remember, it is not backed by heaven. Heaven backs peace, love and contentment

STARTING ANEW
What a time in history we are seeing. Ideally we don't have a chance anymore with the past. The good news is that time is in the hands of God and for those with dreams, remember Joseph Gen 37:5, he had a dream too…..vs. 9, and another dream….
In the year 2007, many of us probably were led to make decisions based on other people opinions. Today, we have a chance to look back and say with the Psalmist that Lord, you have given hear to all our prayer, you've been my King and My God and most important after you've heard me, you enabled me to look up Ps 5:1-3 paraphrased.
The point is, do we look at God as our source or do we entirely look at other people as the ones to aid our lives, to help us make decisions. Fellowship is necessary; but it does not supersede our need for God in us.
In the year 2007, many of us failed in some issues. Do we realize that failure helps to understand our humanness and that we need to rely on God more? If you failed this year, it wasn't because God was not aware. Indeed he was. But we need to take stride of every development in our lives and move forward rather than be discouraged.
To all of us lets make the best decision in our lives not based on our failures, to remain failed, but based on learning from our past, and holding to the original dream given to us by our Lord.
There is good reason for everything today. There will be good reason for everything tomorrow. What we do today will determine that reason.

happy birthday to me; the private party
when the sun awakes the earth around it seems to come forth with life. the people who are permitted to see it awaking are so privileged for the sight is awesome, the peace is like no other.....
have you ever noticed that even when a baby is born, the sun moves on with its business like nothing is different. the baby's cry notwithstanding does not jolt the sun into darkness.....
so it is with a day, so unique that gave birth to you. how be it that on that glorious day God gave you all you needed in life...life itself........
you are a light...a powerful light...today you started shining. you are the blessed of the Lord. your life is God's.....
the earth rotates around you....the rest of us are the earth. we get life from seeing you, hearing you talk, hearing you laugh and all that......
happy birthday to you
--
There is good reason for everything today. There will be good reason for everything tomorrow. What we do today will determine that reason. Joepraise!!

the flu and the fool
i had the unfortunate event of catchin a cold and i thought it was going each day.....then i realised how much nagging it can be....always a running nose, that never seems to tire to bring out the waters....
i had the unfortunate incidence of catching a fever.....it was going on and on. i took tablets to cool it off only for it to come back shortly.
i had the unfortunate incidence of sleeping under a leaking roof one day....it was the most disgusting thing i have ever witnessed...because i was deep in sleep...then one by one, drops of ice were falling on my head, so i dreamt.
i had the unfortunate incidence of being chased by dogs, canines, real ones; because i had traversed their territory....no matter how i ran, it seemed i was too slow.
then i got to know....how much of a running nose i am to the King of Kings, a running fever, a roof that he mends only for it to leak......no matter how far i ran into sin, God's presence is ever their, so i can not hide the little things that cause him some headache.....only he is God, he does not get sick...but does he not find me tiresome to deal with?
he turns the fool who is like flu to be full in stature and a pool of treasure
he makes the flu be gone and no longer be borne by those won by his love
he takes the flu and makes it disappear and rakes all the viruses and bakes them into nothing
so cool, no tool in his hands becomes fool, pool in with him, all the wool you have and certainly be free of fru and full of him

My Mechanic
my car breaks down, i call the mechanic, he comes rushing down, knowing only too well that he will make an extra coin from me.
my radio breaks down and i carry it with me to the technician, he promises me that the problem is minor...will be done just within the day.
my telephone line is disconnected by a falling tree and the telkom guys tell me that they are too busy working on another line.....but we will connect you soon
two days later......
my car is still at the garage and the mechanic doesn't look like he appreciates my lack of mobility
my radio is all parts everywhere at the technicians place but he hasn't known what problem is on it.
there is still a dead silence on my landline......
think with me.....
mechanic, technician, doctor, etc....dont we play these roles sometimes to God? dont we keep on promising what we cant deliver.?
my God is no mechanic, no technician, no doctor, no lawyer...oops....he is God. And yes, he is not a banker too...he is just God. no lie is to be found in him, no false promises, no guile, no cut lines....
while we are yet speaking, he answers to our needs. thats faster than any communication in the world.
rom 8:30...
So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose?
32 If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?
33 And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen?

while we are yet speaking, he answers to our needs. thats faster than any communication in the world.
rom 8:30...
So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose?
32 If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?
33 And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen?

italian english for laughs
hi
i thought this was too funny to let it go
A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an
animated conversation. An American woman is sitting across from them.
The woman isn't paying attention to their conversation at first, but her
attention is grabbed when she hears one of the men says:
"Emma come firsta. Den I come.
Den two asses come together.
I come once-a-more.
Two asses, they come together again.
I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time."
"You foul-mouthed sex obsessed pig," shouts the lady indignantly.
"In this country, we don't speak aloud in public places about our sex
lives........"
"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin' abouta sexa? I'm a justa
tellin' my frienda how to spella ' Mississippi '."

fellows who will never see the Kingdom of God .
An American preaching couple (Reverend Mr & Mrs Stumbles) held a
crusade in Kiambu where Njoroge, their Kiswahili translator, did a real
mess of the whole event..... and meaning
Rev STUMBLE: Everything comes from above.!!
Njoroge : Vitu vyote huja juu juu,
STUMBLE: So you see my brothers and sisters,
Njoroge :.......Basi ndugu zangu waangalieni akina dada,
STUMBLE: know perfectly well,
Njoroge :.....Na muwajue vizuri
STUMBLE: That all world affairs,
Njoroge:.........Kwamba mapenzi yote duniani,
STUMBLE: are successfull only if held from above,
Njoroge:.............Hufanikiwa tu ikiwa mmeshikana juu juu.
STUMBLE: Remember, faith is your pillar,
Njoroge:...Kumbuka kuuamini mlingoti wako,
STUMBLE: Keep it first and above,
Njoroge:..............uuweke kwanza juu juu.
STUMBLE: Let it run very deep and strong,
Njoroge:...............Ndo kisha uukimbize ndani kabisa tena kwa nguvu,
STUMBLE:Should anybody want to test you,
Njoroge:..............Mtu yeyote akitaka kukuonja,
STUMBLE:......will feel its work,
Njoroge:...............Ataisikia kazi yake
STUMBLE: Then from deep inside you'll feel peace pouring out,
Njoroge:........ndo kisha baadaye utasikia kutoka ndani sehemu moja ikimwagika nje,
STUMBLE: That peace will flow and enter even those you are with,
Njoroge:.......Sehemu hiyo ita tiririka na kumwingia uliye naye,
STUMBLE: and that peace will remain.
Njoroge:..............Na sehemu hiyo itabakia.
STUMBLE: Amen.
Njoroge:............ Huyo ni mwanamme

lawyer for free
i know a friend of mine who makes me really proud of her. She's been training for Law something.....frankly i think the joy of seeing an advocate come to the dock at a time when i felt i was going to be put in the locks feels the same way when extravantgrace appears. i feel locked up; extravagant grace gives vagrance and bliss.
variously i am without doubt about God's great love for me and his plans. Each time i fall, he stands on the dock to refute the same failure by letting me know i can stand. do you know a lawyer who could stand for free? that is trully extravagant grace.
FW: Nairobi pix--enjoy the beauty!!
Subject:
Ever appreciated how beautiful
See for yourself!

I am not but I know I Am
You and I are tiny, Miniscule. Transient. Microscopic. A momentary and infinitesimal blip on the timeline of the universe. A seemingly undetectable alliance of dust particles held together by the breath of God.
The sum of our days is like a vapor-our accumulated efforts like chaff in the wind. Among us, even the richest of the rich owns nothing. The strongest of the strong can be felled in one faltering heartbeat. We are fleeting mortals. Frail flesh. Little specks. Phantoms.
If this makes you feel a tad bit uncomfortable, you're not alone. Invariably, when I talk about the vastness of God and the cosmos, someone will say "you're making me feel bad about myself and making me feel really really small," as if thats the worst thing that could happen. But the point is not to make you feel small,rather to help you see and embrace the reality that you are small really really small.
But thats not where the story ends. Though we are transient dust particles in the universe that is expanding faster than the speed of light, the unexplainable mystery of mysteries is that you and I are loved and prized by the God of all Creation.
Simply because he wanted to, He fashioned each of us in His own image, creating within us the capacity to know him. And if that wasn't enough, in spite of our foolishness and rebellious hearts, God has pursued us with relentless passion and patience, fully expressing to us His unfathomable love through the mercy and grace of the cross of His son, Jesus Christ

Tribute to (Bishop) David Gichuru
I write this mail knowing that this was man who became bishop long before he was ever made one. I met Reverend Gichuru in 1988 when he was training at Kaaga circuit. Truly this was a great preacher, a man of God, he was full of youthful vigor and i'd agree with all those who are saying that his selflessness is unmatched.Bishop, sang parapanda, blew a trumpet and won us from our tender age. he joined our youthful groups and encouraged them. We saw in him the redemption of the Church from ancient traditions to very youthful oriented services. days are when he would encourage those of us in the late eighties who were deemed to be rebellious. he encouraged a young group of singers called 'revivors'. later in the nineties he was with us again in the group known as 'the fellowship'David, has kept in touch with me for all the time he has been in the states. He was a dependable man. he always wanted the best for his people..how can we say bye to such a great man? People of God, beloved and won by the Lord, this is an example of what the Lord does to us.Grace, AMAZING GRACE, you are a winner, cos the Lord who took away Bishop from you, is the same one with you. you will be amazed at what GRACE, he will give to you.for all his friends, lets take courage in him who overcame the world. Let's celebrate a great man. indeed he was a BISHOP.

diabetic condition
I guess life is a mystery. i know not many of us are blessed enough to know the joys of sicknesses. it is not one of those things anybody should want to have. 37 years almost sickness free is something to thank God For. However one week sickness is something to......thank God for. cos its only a week out of close to 2000 weeks.
i walked into a lab not knowing i was sick.....full of sugar in the blood. just feeling unfine. the doctors words surprised me,,,,,the levels were too high. soon it moved from 19.7 to 23.5. so i was put o a drip....and then the doctors started on this new lifestyle i was to lead......
flashback one month earlier, i had accompanied my colleague on a sales visit in town. we passed next to a coffee shop and and and i saw the mouth watering creamy cake. then i became self aware that i was craving too much sugar. i wanted ice-cream....me a father of two? you'd ask...yes.
now i have to work against such and live a life without the sugars of this world. the priviledge though i have is that i am one of the 50% who know their diabetic condition.
chukua control while it is early and discover what mystery there is in knowing your true medical situation.
this is my daily measurement so far:
monday - 19.7, 23.5,16.7
tuesday - did not want to know
wednesday- 17.7,
thursday- 18.9 in a visit to a herbalist, he extols his virtues and prowess at such diseases. i dont take the herbs yet. i will come back tomorrow
friday-9.9 (really) , 10.2 i am over myself. do i still go to the herbal clinic or not. someone advises me against.....not one actually, three people...but the urge to believe the herbalist is strong....
keeep reading, i will give you continued progress as my herbs begin today. only thing is, i have joy unspeakable at everything.
