What are you feeding your soul? I often ask myself this question a lot. At times, I’m guilty of praying with impure motives, only wanting to satisfy my desires which results in asking for the wrong reasons. I go before God like he owes me something because I’ve been “obedient” like okay God, I’ve done all you’ve asked of me. Can you please just answer my prayers & give me more believing that it will fulfill my appetite. Not realizing how selfish I am for not trusting His timing. I allow wanting more to hinder me from seeing all that God has already given me is what I really need.

 I too have fallen in the trap of building a friendship with this world, buying these cheap substitutes with this idea that it can cure this hunger my soul longs for. I mean it looks, tastes & feels good right? Yes, but losing your soul in exchange for false satisfaction will only leave empty holes that will never be completely filled. It’s like pouring water in a cup with a hole at the bottom. It drains itself. I promise you it’s not worth it. And I’m learning this everyday. 

My desires & what I feed my spirit needs to align with God’s truth. These distractions surrounding me on a daily, to seek this or that, go after everything, pursue this, chase after that, will be discerned by God’s truth not what everyone around me is doing or saying I should do in order to be “successful” in this life. Ask yourself this, “What am I buying into & does it align with God’s will for my life?”

People and Technology

For the long time that I have been experiencing the change in all aspects of life even cultural, I also experience the change of technology time to time. Actually technology has been advancing to simplify activities done in the world. Do people change with the technology changes or we all somewhere observing technological changes but we never change? More than 3 billion people around the world using social media every month. Social media has taken the large part to influence people move with the technology, since it started, it has been a essential piece of our business marketing strategy, connect people with their customers. It allows people to reach others logically, regionally, nationally and even internationally. For social media having many users, does it mean people move with technology in other areas too? Technology has been introduced in many sectors, but do people apply them too? Do they have influence as social media has to people? Technology is an assemblage of practices and...

Hiking Day at Uluguru Mountains: A lot of reasons to conserve

Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, the Uluguru Mountains stand tall and proud, beckoning adventurers with their lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking panoramic views. As an avid nature enthusiast, I embarked on a hiking day at Uluguru Mountains, seeking solace from the bustling city life and an opportunity to reconnect with the pristine beauty of the natural world.    It was not a first time, and surely it will not be a last time. BUT, little did I know that this expedition would prove to be a transformative journey, both physically and spiritually.       The Ascent Begins With my backpack packed and a heart full of anticipation, I set foot on the trailhead around 10am. The air was crisp, and the sweet aroma of the surrounding vegetation infused my senses, drew my attention, that, it was time, time to get far and reconnect with the most beautiful and tiresome activity that am attracted to, accompanied by an experienced guide, not in such, but t...

Developing a Personal Mantra

Its been a long long long time since we were here!  Anyways, happy new year 2025!  I’m looking forward to sharing more stories, reflections, and snippets of daily life here. Come to "sharing", last year I got to hear a thing about "mantra" from a friend and a mentor, and this is what I firstly need to share before we dive deep in 2025. Mantras have a way of anchoring our thoughts and guiding our actions. As I approached 2025, I felt the need for a guiding principle that would not only inspire me but also provide a framework for how I navigate the year. That’s how I arrived at my mantra: Intentional Progress . This article shares my journey of developing this mantra and how it can shape my actions in the year ahead. The Importance of a Mantra A personal mantra is more than just a phrase; it’s a compass that aligns your actions with your values and goals. It serves as a reminder to stay focused and intentional, especially when life becomes overwhelming. For me, a mant...
