Weekend Musings


This Sunday we(A group of Pastors Kids) went visiting with the children in KNH. Talk about trying to walk in our parents shoes :) . And we got to bring in our friends too.  Yes, if you didn't know,  now you know.. I am a PK. A title I wear proudly despite the ooh so common notion that PKs (not the chewing gum. Pastors' Kids) are spoilt brats.  To be honest, I have had my fair share of that side.  Being God's grandchild (considering my parents are His children) isn't as cool as it sounds. The sneaking out of the house instead of just informing the parents that I will be out till late. I don't even know why I chose such hard roads. They would have let me go if I asked. Smh. However that's a Story for a different post. 

This has nothing to do with the post :)



Where was I, yes,  KNH's little angels.  Kids scare the daylight out of me. Really they do! They have the powers to see past any pretense and when they look into your eyes, I can bet they see right through them into your soul. Have you ever gotten a hug from a child? If you haven't, you have not yet lived. One hug brings down all the walls you might have put up and brings you to your knees. Broken... See why they scare me...
Waitheres and a little angel.
 Now these ones are a class above kids that I have been around. These kids have all the reasons to be sad and gloomy, have  long faces and I would understand that.  I mean I get a slight headache and Sometimes act like the entire world is about to end. Or one of those mornings I wake up with an extra forehead or none of the rings can fit my fingers and I am ready to throw in the towel. These angels were all smiles, oblivious to the reasons they were there.
The kids are a family.  They fought over who needs to have the remote control and sang along to the fronzen theme song. Sweetest thing ever! They knew each other's names and what ailed the other member of the family.
See why they scare me? I mean how can one be so selfless? So caring and at peace in the middle of a raging storm?

This week,  the challenge is to get out if my mind and into His will to be less of me and more of Him. To focus less on what I want, need, wish to have, and more of how can I be used by Him to make someone's day better, less stressful.

I couldn't leave without more photos. :)

A TRIBUTE - TO AWESOMENESS!



Been a while since I walked these streets :) . Freight not I have not gone back home to planet Pluto … Not just yet earthlings. I don’t think I have ever done a blog on an individual and to be honest, the back spacebar has been over used on this writing. Do read on. A rugby player, Egerton graduate and *wait for it,*  A GEEK. Yes, I know that look you have on your face, a geek who is in touch with his athletic side. Super cool if you ask me.

One person to look out for who will be a millionaire very soon. The 4th born in his family, grew up in Tudor, Mombasa and went to Augustine’s preparatory School then Agah Khan High School where he played rugby and was also an active member of the music and drama club. After which he was called to do computer Science at Egerton University in 2005.

That his father was a professional accountant who was keen on providing for his family a solid education was a push in the right direction. In 2012, his father passed away. His mother was into the business which  dealt with fashion and transport ( very interesting combination).

Remember when playing with video games was seen as a waste of study time? No? okay probably because you did not indulge :) . That is where one Mr David Mwawasi’s interest in IT was derived from. The dream was to become a programmer and take over the world like pinky and the brain but the bills gave him the KICK (in inception. If you haven't watched the movie,  erm,... ). A job at ZUKU became the daytime job. Dreams have a way of feeling or looking ooh so elusive :/. Since this is not one of those sad stories ;), there is a silver lining : 


An opportunity to work on a networking project in the UN creeped up on the daytime job and Baam! just like that it was out the window. It was after the project that our geek joined forces with DR samier Muravvej, and NEOTECH was born. Neotech deals with local revolutionary apps and software solution.



The company’s plan is to create revolutionary and impactful IT products unique to the local demographic in all of Africa see what I was talking about, a millionaire in the making! 

Mr. David Mwawasi!

Food for Thought?
