 A Story of Mercy

I found myself unable to sleep, not because of problems, but because since my mother relocated from Kariobangi in May, this is the first time I am visiting her in her new place.

This single mabati  house housed 6 kids, sometimes 4, since 2011. Now, the reason why I couldn’t sleep was because when I visited, I was expecting she would have decorated it. But I found it in a mess, and when I asked her, she said she doesn’t know what to do with a big house; she was already used to one room. It was so bad that even with a kitchen, she is still cooking in the sitting room. This made my heart break.

I had to leave, and that’s when I took a picture of the house. It hit me that I had not also digested the blessings juu what do you mean Lucy has not taken a picture?

This is my story of mercy. How mercy changed my mum's story at her old age. How mercy gave my mother a name in her own age.

May your mercy locate you.

The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

Psalm 126:3

MY TESTIMONY

My Journey of Faith: From Fear to Peace For a long time, my life was shaped by fear. Growing up in a violent environment, I was always anxious and worried. Even though my mother was a believer and I grew up in the church, I didn’t have a personal connection with God. I knew about Him, but I didn’t truly know Him. Everything changed in 2016 at a revival service at Parklands Baptist. That day, I stopped trying to act like a “perfect Christian,” and I got real with God. I prayed with total honesty and told Him about my struggles and my anxiety. But what made this moment truly life-changing was understanding the work of Jesus on the cross and how personal it is. In the middle of all the chaos I was carrying inside, there was a moment of stillness. It felt like everything paused, and in that silence, Christ met me. Even though everything in my life felt heavy, I experienced a deep, unexplainable peace, even if just for a moment. For a long time, I had struggled with self-harm and deep inner...

 Title: Learning to Trust God’s Timing Life does not always move according to our plans, and sometimes the seasons that feel slow or uncertain are the very moments God is shaping our lives the most. This week, through personal journaling, I reflected on how God has been guiding my journey even when I did not fully understand what He was doing. As I looked back on the past few years, I realized how many significant changes happened in my life. I became a mother, got married, and made the difficult decision to resign from my job without having a clear plan for what would come next. At the time, it felt like a step into the unknown. However, as time passed, I began to see that God was still leading me. New opportunities came my way, including receiving a scholarship and the chance to serve and work in the church. These experiences reminded me that what we sometimes see as delays or uncertainty can actually be moments where God is preparing us for something greater. One verse that deep...

Lulus Reflections on Evangelism

As my evangelism class comes to an end, I have been reflecting deeply on everything I learned this month. What started as a simple topic in a classroom has become something much more personal. It has challenged the way I live and how I see the people around me every day. Through studying The Master Plan of Evangelism and listening to teachings on the heart of the message, I have realized that sharing our faith is not about filling church seats or giving long speeches. It is about carrying the love of Jesus into the world. The biggest lesson I learned is that Jesus is our perfect example. He did not just preach to large crowds, He invested His life into a small group of disciples. He walked with them, served them, and showed them how to live. This taught me that evangelism is more than just speaking words. It is about spending real time with people, loving them genuinely, and living a life that reflects Christ. Often, people are not looking for a perfect sermon, they are looking for hop...
