22 Years Later

WOW!!!!! Yeah I know… Who thought… I am officially 22. 

I have never thought of myself being this old and totally clueless on my life’s direction. I have all these plans set out for myself (who doesn’t at this age), but I don't know what to undertake first. Anyway, my existence started 23 years ago when a young couple (madly in love with each other) in Central Province, Kenya decided they were ready to expand their family.

And a year later on May 7th at 3:12 PM after endless hours of labor, out popped me. Beautiful, amazing, stubborn… ME!! And I have never being more glad.

I think I still have God to thank for being on the right side of thirty . (By a long shot, BTW!!).

Well, what’s the big difference of being a year older?? I think I feel a whole lot stronger than I was at the same time a year ago or two years ago. I feel I can conquer more than I had ever thought imaginable in my short sheltered life. I see the strength in my Spiritual life, emotional journey and physical health.

In this past year, I developed this insatiable hunger to know more. To learn more. Maybe, it was there before but it has been so much more this past year. And the more I know, the more questions I develop that are un-answered. And the cycle continues, because I will need answers to the questions I have. But there is something enlightening about all this.. Not to be the all knowing annoying girl, but it gives me a sense of satisfaction to a great length. It has enabled me to develop mercy & compassion at the end of my pointing finger.

Well I guess here is to another chapter of my life.
