What can I say...



Well, what CAN I Say? It has been quite the month, a true roller-coaster of sorts on my end. Some days have been harder than others. There are days when I have struggled to wake up in the morning, and other days I have found the courage and strength to laugh, sing, and do the things that I truly love. 

My heart is broken, I miss my dad. I think of him every  day… I long to hear his laughter or hold his hand, just one more time, but God. My faith is in Him. My trust is in Him. My hope and expectation is in Him. I will not waiver nor falter. 



I make no apology for my journey; this is me sharing my truth, because we cannot testify of healing when we never admitted our brokenness in the first place. 

To anyone reading this, that happens to be going through a hard time- whether the loss of a loved one, or the devastating diagnosis of a terminal illness, or perhaps the loss of a job…whatever your  ‘storm’ may be- take heart. God is the God of ALL comfort. He will carry you. He will heal you, and He will restore you. I am always reminded of this, that God becomes to you all that you desire for Him to be. You may feel like you are taking one step forward, and then two steps backward, but God is still working. Trust Him. He will carry you through. 

This might be the shortest blog post I have written yet, but you know what they say about good things and small packages ;-) 

Beloved, keep the faith…have a blessed new month ahead. 

From my heart to yours,
Kambua M

  11. Kambua, you impress me very much. You are very religious! Not many people on this earth have such a firm believe in God. As an artist, you're almost an exception! I appreciate you very much. Have more trust; God will lead you.

  19. No one can have a testimony if they have not gone through something in their life... When you go through thick and thin of life and have overcome them is the time that you realise that there is someone around who always keeps an eye on you. God is always around even after we go through the loveliest things of our lives... Good strength and courage, it happens to you when you see the end of the road.

  29. Dear Kambua,
    I know what exactly that feels. I lost my mum in sept last year, she was your dad's patient and it has been a roller coaster as u say. At times you don't wanna wake up, times no sleep, times u don't wanna face another day, u fail to even understand what you are going through, pple around you notice that u have changed etc,,. God has been with me through it. I have also gotten much help through a grief therapist. Incase you need one, I would recommend you to mine... Regards, Mo..

  32. Hi Kambua
    I had a dream that you had a new song and you were at a concert singing and soo many people got healed especially emotional problems.
    I just thought I'd share with you.
    And in my spirit I remembered how nishikilie got me through the passing away of my mom.
    I feel like your testimony will rise to a song composed by God himself to heal hearts.
    Have a blessed day.

  35. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and encouraging words. May God see you through and give you the strength to move on each beautiful day. I lost my dad when i was in class 7 and trust me being the only daughter and daddy's girl it was never easy one bit. But through my mother's prayers and love. i came to terms with it while in form 3....yeah, after that long but gladly i did. And am one happy and very bold n courageous girl ever since. Never feeling sorry or low....Am happy and blessed n i thank God for the time i had with dad. I trust HIS doings are ever perfect. Love u Kelitu. xx .Bless you much !!
