A Precious Gift !

 

Every time I come across a young girl in a Crisis (unplanned)Pregnancy I simply tell them that it's the beginning of a beautiful story worth telling some day. 

Precious is defined as something or someone of great value; not to be wasted or treated carelessly. And babies are precious gifts from God the Father.

It starts with a phone call or a message, and on the other end there is a young girl, lady and woman she is in distress, confused 😥😭yes pregnancy was not part of the plan. Her world has literally come to a standstill. She wants a solution so fast, she is so vulnerable. Sometimes she can make the call in the morning and come to the office in the afternoon.
My work is to assure her that it will be well and help her make a better and informed choice. She looks at me in distress. How can I tell her it is well and  I am not in her shoes? All I know is it will end well. What she doesn't know is that I have seen quite a number and I can draft a script. 

She leaves the office having made a decision to take the 'risk' and keep the baby. I choose to call it a risk because this girl is stepping in to the unknown, she doesn't know what awaits her and her bundle of joy.

As Days turn to Weeks to Months the more the pregnancy grows and the more she bonds with her unborn baby. There is something special about those nine months that makes one look forward to receive their bundle of Joy. 

Allow me to tell you a story of a girl who had made a choice to give her baby for Adoption once she delivered. She had done all the paper work,  all she needed to do is give birth and hand over the baby for adoption. Fast forward she gave birth to a beautiful girl and one week later I decided to call her and find out how she is fairing on after giving the baby for adoption. The response she gave is what melted my heart. She said "Gracey I couldn't just give the baby for adoption, I can't imagine life without this beautiful soul💓😍😘". These are the ones who guard their children so much & want nothing but the best for them.

And for every girl/lady or woman, once they give birth they become so attached to their bundles of Joy. 

And the beautiful story of Motherhood begins!

Street Protests (Kenya); Is It The Solution?

Image
As I begin to write this blog the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya is Hon Rigathi Gachagua aka Riggy G the truthful Man. Last year the month May was an interesting month for our beloved Nation. And will definitely be worth being noted down in the history books. Gen Z (these are children born between 1997 to 2012) organized a street protests to reject a Finance Bill & demand better governance & Accountability. Let me tell you Maina(A Kenyan Phrase) Gen Z is a powerhouse. They are Tribeless, Fearless & Leaderless. Being Leaderless could mean no one time will meetings be called & comprise takes place. We have witnessed how in the past leaders have been compromised and end up singing or dancing to the tune of the oppresor. According to Article 37 of the Kenyan Constitution every person has the right, peaceably and unarmed to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to the public authorities.  Protests sadly are not a new thing in Kenya...

The Power of A Story.

As I begin to write this blog I am reminded of the song,   This is My Story. This Is My Song.  I remember when my brother passed on. My mum and sister sat down and drafted my late brother's eulogy. I mean we have all gone to funerals and heard people's eulogies being read. But that is simply not their full story. Its just a fraction of the person's life and it has been written by another person it simply not first hand narration. The eulogies only focus on the positive side of the person's life. They don't write about the struggles, challenges, the bad or the ugly.  I remember one time during a seminar the facilitator gave us a task of writing our eulogies. Like what do we want people to hear on that day about us. A story is a full account of someone's life. It captures the places they have been, the people they have met, what they have achieved, their high & low moments. Their experiences in the various seasons they went through in life. How they navigated ...

Diversity In Culture.

Ps 133:1 - '' How good & Pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity .'' Fact - According to ChatGpt (our go to person 😅)there are 43 tribes in Kenya.  Each tribe has its own language, customs, traditional clothing, and beliefs , contributing to Kenya’s rich cultural diversity.  I remember when I was pursuing my International Baccalaureate Studies(IBS). This is a two year Post High School Course that enables students to go abroad for their University studies. You see while I was in High School I had a dream of going outside the country for my university studies. My choices were the UK or South Africa. And I remember one evening after my classes my dad came to pick me from school. I noticed by Late Brother Nathaniel (may he continue to Rest In Perfect Peace 😭😭) was not in the car. And immediately I entered the car my dad told me that he picked Nathaniel from school earlier on because he was caught in a fight with another boy. My dad told me that th...
