Transitioning!

Isn't it amazing how you can be looking at your life and be content about what it is until you have to ask someone to fill in your shoes?
Well, that's been my musing for the last couple of months. Thinking about raising others and turning over to them the ministry has been very insightful into my own life. The way i do things, speak, entrust, empower and even relate has come to the fore as we pray and believe God for pastors to be raised in our church and for other churches.
Turning over a church can be a scary experience! Yet a very rewarding one.
First, it helps you see your life through another's eyes. It causes you to believe in others just like you believe in yourself, and allows you to become generous. In praise and Money as well!
But seeing other people plug in and take up the leadership of the church is ultimately humbling, as it reveals our humanity and how God uses broken people to minister an unbroken gospel to a broken world. When we think we are perfect, God shows us that he's not after perfection, no. a thousand times NO! He's simply looking for people willing to lay down their crowns, and share their lives and giftings with others who can do the same. What an honor, what a priviledge!
I wonder if you are sharing your life today? Who's are you looking for, a perfect person or a willing one?

Love,
Pastor Wa

Single Ladies, Get your own man!

So I was reading that Linda Muthama proudly calls herself Nyambane’s second wife. He is managing more than just her ‘music affairs’ as well. Has a baby by him and the usual blah blah… By the way, all this has happened a while back And of course as usual, it was fodder for the blogs and media. Worst of all, there were chics telling Linda to do what she wants, it’s her life. Now, I don’t know whether to just rant or try and put this entire mountain of a relationship stink-hog in perspective. Because something stinks. And it stinks to high heaven. Someone ought to call it what it is; Relationship bull. When a single young woman of notable influence in this country, goes ahead and becomes a second wife to a man of equal media exposure and women go ahead and cheer her on, something is wrong! Terribly wrong! You see the truth of the matter is; you single young thing, building a man, a marriage and a family is work. Loads of it. By the time you see a ‘made’ man, some of you ...

First up, apologies for not posting for a while. My involvement with a new online project, plus looking for the elusive dollar has kept me away. But I'm back. So here goes! The golden age of fine wining and dining has seemingly been replaced by our quick instant lifestyles that allow very little time for anything. microwaves, email, instant coffee, MTV, Tyra Banks, Maina and Kingangi in the morning.... its all fast paced. And so has the approach to relationships become. Kila kitu ni chap chap. Including the meet-ups. We do twitter, Facebook, then Sms, by the time a week is over, we are having sex online. That's just how fast paced its become. But I'm not complaining about it, its just that now, because of how easy it is to meet someone and talk over gadgets without physically taking the effort to be there and work on the relationships, there is a group of young men who honestly have no idea on how to treat a woman. Zero Bilaz Wako dooooooooooown! So it...

How Mine Are You? For Men Only

In the funny dramatic/romantic comedy The Best man, the themes of fidelity, relational jelousy and believing in the good over the bad in a relationship are exposed painfully. Harper (the Best man) is helping Lance his buddy get married to Mia. They have been buddies for years. Lance is a player (Both on field and with women) and feels he's entitled to it. Unfortunately or otherwise, it comes up that his fiance Mia and Harper had a fling a while ago. Lance is convinced he's the first until the weekend of the wedding when the revelations come tumbling out and things head south. Whoa! Which brings up issues of jealousy in relationships. Especially when it comes to finding out about the past of the person you are with. This is a big deal especially for some people. VERY BIG DEAL! And mostly so for men. The truth of the matter is, with todays highly sexualized culture, it's likely that the person you end up with will have a sexual history they are not proud of. They may w...
