Reflections this February

-

I am glad to be writing again this year and for that, I am truly grateful to God. I am trusting God to be consistent and produce content at least once every month. 

In the last couple of months, God has been really faithful to me and shown be favour. I have been running an online business specializing in apparel, I started a women's Bible Study Group and started selling bookmarks. Additionally, I also started a new segment called "Weekly lessons with Njeri Kiruku" which is hosted on my Facebook and Instagram pages. I also joined a ministry, rather God chose me to join a ministry which will soon be launched.

During this month of February, I have had several instances that have caused me to pause and reflect on the faithfulness of God in my life. I can't help but thank Him for how He has looked out for me and seen me through situations I thought I couldn't get through. This God has also elevated me to positions I had never thought I could get to. He has secured me in rooms that I had never thought I qualified for. As 2020 came to an end I didn't know my fate where work was concerned but my faithful God opened a door that if I had been asked before, I didn't think would open to the extent to which it did - again God surpassed my expectation because that is how he does things.

I remember when I was in campus, I never imagined myself starting a business let alone running one but here we are in 2021 and its been 5 months since Beulah Adorn started its operations. I have sold t-shirts to new and repeat customers and for that I am grateful to God. Beulah Adorn is focused on shining the light of Jesus Christ through apparel and all the designs on the t-shirts were birthed through the Holy Spirit who I confidently refer to as my business partner. I am still learning the dynamics of running a business but I am grateful that God chose to entrust me with this. 

In addition to the business, God placed in my heart the need to start teaching the Word of God to women and in January we began a weekly online Bible study which has been going on for about 6 weeks now. I have learnt during this period that God just needs us to have faith and launch and then leave the rest to Him - He will bring people and resources. Initially, I never thought I would be leading a group of women from different walks of life through the Word of God but God saw it fit for me to and here I am.

I could share more but I will pause there for now. I want to share with you that in spite of all this, there are days I have doubted my ability. Some days I have felt like an imposter and on some I have felt really discouraged. I have learnt however that this is part of the process of causing me to look to God to help me and strengthen me. This year more than ever I have asked God for strength to continue with the assignment He has given me and He has. That is why today I can confidently share this with you - I have been strengthened.

Thank you for taking the time to read. I pray that you have learnt something new all for the Glory of God in Christ Jesus.

The mystery of God's presence

Photo by:  Captured by Light What do you do when you go through pain, grief, heartbreak, disappointment or any other form of emotion that crushes you?  While some of us choose to share with a friend, counsellor or pastor, some of us equally tend to withdraw and close the world out. The latter choice can be explained by the notion that nobody understands and it is true, nobody might really understand what you are going through because every experience is unique. The former choice on the other hand works with the notion that if you share with someone, they might help or just listen to you. In the world we live in, particularly during the pandemic season, many people have experienced losses in several ways - job loss, loss of loved ones, loss of money, etc. All these are not new challenges but at the height of a pandemic, people are quite sensitive and in most cases scared or uncertain.  Today, I want us to look at an additional choice we can make when going throug...

Downcast but not destroyed: Part 2

It is darkest before dawn Photo by  Jill Wellington  from  Pexels As I had mentioned in the earlier post, God provided in miraculous ways. As soon as I got the Paybill number, we created a Poster to help raise the hospital bill. I believe God's angels were very busy during this time since different people  gave, even people who are not familiar with our family. My sister and I constantly shared the poster on our WhatsApp status and friends would send any amount which we highly appreciated. Our extended family also helped fundraise and by God's Grace, we were about to realize the amount. The hospital needed us to raise 263,000 in a week, to offset the bill. God's favour was upon us because during this week, the hospital said they would freeze dad's account and only charge him for meds (God had done a great thing) Back at home people continued to give and by the following week, on Wednesday 1st April, we had raised around 127,000. This was far from ...

Overcomer movie review: Identity and restoration

Image source: Overcomer movie Facebook page Director: Alex Kendrick Producer: Stephen Kendrick Music composed by: Paul Mills Screenplay: Alex Kendrick, Stephen Kendrick Website: https://www.overcomermovie.com/   Other Kendrick brothers movies:  Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Fireproof, Courageous,War Room   This movie begins with a high school basketball game where one team gets so close to winning, but time runs out. What however stands out for me is how the coach (Alex Kendrick) encourages his team who lost by 3 points only. He doesn't focus on the loss but on the opportunity that lay ahead of becoming better next time.  In another scene, the principal (Priscilla Shirer) of the high school he coaches, requests him to begin coaching cross country. The coach hates cross country and he is at first resistant but soon agrees because the number of coaches in that school had reduced greatly.  On the first day of cross country tryou...
