Work in progress.


I hoped I would know by now what was causing my “writer’s block”, but I still don’t know. Good news is, it’s like my writing juices just decided to start flowing all over sudden. I guess the fact that I got a new desktop also sort-of helps (my beloved laptop is still comatose). I don’t know what or who has come into or left my life, but either way I’m grateful for this path of release once again...

 

ION…

 

So I made a decision at the beginning of this year to live for Jesus. How is it going, you ask? Not too well. In fact, it’s going disastrously. It’s like everything that the devil knows weakens my resolve and is definitely not Christian, even those that were previously nothing but a distant blurry dream, have suddenly been put at my disposal. He made a buffet of all that and planted it straight in my path. Yes, I have managed to avoid most of these things, but every once in a while there has been an offer that was too juicy to resist, and sadly I fell.

 

Here’s the good news though. God’s Grace is sufficient for me! And I am reminded today that none of us is perfect. We are all bound to do something that is wrong at one point or another. And it’s easy to feel condemned or unable to change. The trick, like I’ve always said, is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going. No matter what it takes, or how long it takes, as long as you never give up after all is said and done, then there’s still hope for you yet.

 

You are still a work in progress and you are allowed to have a few shortcomings. By the time God is done with you, no one will even remember any of them. So keep calm, and keep doing you the best way you know howJ.

 

Live and love!

Anything but ordinary

As a writer, you pride yourself in the fact that you are able, on a higher level than the ordinary man, to put into words what exactly it is that you are feeling, what it is that you see, smell, hear, name it. Whether it is a terribly scrumptious heaped plate of spaghetti with a slightly orange tinge that tastes like ocean waves at sunset or a large tree with red and brown leaves that bends slightly to the right whenever the wind blows and has endless trails of tiny black insects harvesting sweet cold nectar up from its pale pink flowers down to its partially hidden roots...you get the picture. That was not the case with the writer’s retreat on Bulago Island over the Independence Day weekend.This retreat was organised by Jackee Batanda of SuccessSpark Brand and Nyana Kakooma of Sooo Many Stories. Don't let the fact that this was the first of it's kind fool you... Imagine a big orange house, with large glass windows that cover almost fifty percent of the walls. Imagine

Thoughts on a humid Sunday midnight

Images of you race across my mind, and then quickly run off to hide, like a shy girl from unknown guests. ‘It’s been long enough’, they say, but what do they know? How can they know when knowing was only ours? A narrow tarmac road, twisting slightly to the left as it slopes, only to straighten out and show the way home; home for a while, home forever; Home. Silence, friendly silence. All sounds combining at once to match the music in my head, or is it in my heart? A mouth with a wide smile, lips that tell of dreams long forgotten and yet coming alive once again, a heart with such kindness, hands that accept, embrace and give. Warmth from every pore. Hands that hold. Hands that work. Hands that lead, gentle hands. A gentle soul. Night lights, of every color; yellow, orange, blue, green; speed by like a man on a mission, a man blown away by strong winds that squeeze through small spaces looking for the quickest smoothest way out. Eyes that stare at the lights, eyes full of

World without color

I’m looking for you in every face I see Looking for the familiarity that used to be Empty parking lots, bare wrists What’s a picture without color; what’s me without you? I’m running to you but you’re already leaving I’m running faster, running to catch up with you Running past wondering stares and pointing fingers Running to stop you from taking another step, the next step…and the next Running to make you see that we are all it takes We are all it will take. Wait for me. Take my hand.  Look me in the eye. Believe me. Believe me, I beg you… You smell of home Carry it with you as you go, leaving me exposed, un-sheltered, cold. I can’t run anymore; I’m panting and sweaty I can’t let you leave but I can’t run anymore Why won’t you stop walking? Why won’t you look back when I call your name? Tell me you see it too; how great we will be. How unstoppable we are together. We will conquer the world, swallow them whole. We will make history. We were
