WHAT NEXT?

I sat wondering what next after the sad and perplexing demise of my dear friend Reg......what next? Last Sabbath I heard a sermon that shook me out of my stupor....THE PLACE! By Pastor Munene Mwangi....Where did this one come from now? The guy preached with so much gusto I was almost jumping from my chair!!! I was so fired up coz the whole week after the death and interment of my sister I was asking God - "So?" Silence was it until Saturday, Friday night I had asked Jesus "Please let me hear a sermon that will give me an answer". And then this sermon-THE PLACE

Where is the place you are at? What is God asking you to do? God had told Modes and Joshua too that THE PLACE they were standing on was holy ground. Was it the spot on which they were standing on that was holy or the final realization of what God wanted them to do? Wow, that got me thinking, and my creative juices as Reg would say started flowing....did it take her death to finally bring  me to THE PLACE? I now know so. My place of ministry is now with the single girls, teenagers and young people, who I do not want to make the same mistakes I made. From dating to marriage to separation, all these have been learning points for me. It is said only a fool learns from there own mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others.

And so THE PLACE I have come to, is a place of knowing what God wants me to do. I know some may say I am washing dirty linen, yes but let me wash mine to save someone's dirty laundry. I think some of us have been called out to speak about our situations that others may see we are real people. I used to tell Reg that we are the ones not afraid to talk. SO we have to talk, by the way God blessed me with words heh! I can talk for hours!! I can relate to the likes of Joyce Meyer, Yuanita Bynum amongst others...women who speak about their life's journey and the victory Christ has given them. AMEN

So BROKEN RIBS and TEEN WALK are babies born out my experinces.

By the way my book THE BURIAL WILL NOT HOLD, still continues to be written and now with more fire, I have to complete it!! Though there seems to be a pause.
