Voice in my head


   I wanted to title this post as ‘voices in my head’ (plural) but that sounded a little weird in my head...but you can like vote on it or something. I should probably get serious now.
   You know that God’s been working in your life when that little voice inside gets a little louder...and probably starts to speak more often than it did before. And I’m not sure how many Christians would actually admit it, but that voice starts to speak up at really inconvenient times. And I end up having these conversations with God (sometimes out loud...sometimes in my head). And I say stuff like ‘God I know that this is what you say in your word...and I should probably take the high road and do the right thing... but I really don’t want to! But I’m going to do what you say anyway’. I end up doing the right thing and obeying Him and completely giving up my reluctance, but it feels better to just be frank with Him about my feelings on the subject.
    Maybe it’s because I’m that kind of person. I’ve been described a ‘brutally honest’ and it’s because I find it hard to censor my thoughts or sugar-coat my opinions just to make someone feel better about the truth. Sure I might try to deliver it in the best possible way...but I don’t coddle people...unless they’re below the age of 8. I think that before you ask a question you should be mentally prepared to receive the best possible response as well as the ugliest one in existence. Otherwise don’t ask.
   But I digress. I was talking about the way sometimes as a Christian you actually notice the itsy bitsy changes in your life, in your behaviour and in your morals. And I don’t know, it’s encouraging. It’s like the little stars you used to get in your book while in nursery school for good behaviour. Not that those little victories should be the pride and joy of our lives or the centre of our universes...coz this race is a marathon and there’s still a long way to go. They just help one to take heart. They give you a boost.  And again, Romans 12:2



And 1st Corinthians 13: 11



Ciao...

Foodie Fridays: Shepherd's pie with nyama choma

Image
   I've always wanted to try Shepherd's pie but I never did because we don't  have an actual pie-dish. But then I saw this recipe on Kawi Snippets and I just had to try it. She used a baking tin instead...talk about a light-bulb moment! She also used cheese and I love cheese! For the recipe, check out her blog here .    I however added my own twist to the dish. We had some left-over nyama choma ( Roasted goat ) in the fridge so I figured I'd just re-purpose it. I used the same recipe but swapped the mince-meat with nyama choma. I also garnished with tomatoes and parsley. Here's how it turned out: Meat in the baking tin...just needs the potato layer This is before baking. I'm a sucker for garnishes Fresh out of the oven Bon appetite! Ciao...

We need adultier adults

Image
   This meme is a running joke between me and my friends. Or my friends and I. We occasionally post on social media about how we have successfully 'adulted' for the day. ' Adulting ' being the act of successfully doing something grown- up that you've never done before.Keyword being: successfully. And I know that there is a section of baby-boomers that's sick of this millennial habit of constantly documenting our supposed triumphs for the whole world to see, but I'm pretty sure they'd be doing the same thing if they'd this technology at their disposal in their hey-day. Heck! who I am I kidding?! They did do the same thing.. through phone calls, letters and postcards.    But back to the meme. Being an adult is hard work.. the first time around anyway. I had an experience last year when I accompanied 3 teenage girls to the hospital. Reason being we were at camp and I was a counsellor and they had some injuries that needed to be looked at by a docto...

Different kinds of people in the exam room

Image
Disclaimer: Based on a true story! He he! I’ve always wanted to say that! I had a Surgery CAT today. Technically yesterday since it’s past midnight. So at some point after finishing the paper and waiting for the question papers to be collected I realised that there are many different personality groups to be observed while an exam is ongoing. They say that stress does strange things to people, well here’s what I’ve seen so far. 1. The star-gazer Or should I say ceiling-gazer. They've read the question, don't know the answer so the look up in the hope that they'll see it. I mean if God can do walls surely He can write on ceilings too! Right? Anybody? Ok, then. But sometimes this strategy actually works and they suddenly remember the answer! 2. The artist Ordinary student who suddenly becomes a Michelangelo during the exam. Their question paper ( if they were handed answer sheets ) or rough paper will be full of creative doodles and will look something li...
