Life at 30(2)

It’s a good morning from this side of the planet, the sun is up as it’s ordained. Now gazing at my mid thirties and responsibilities are left, right and center of my world. At times I can easily relate with so many instances of my parent’s life when I was growing up. The other day the life seemed such a great adventure that I had not even scratched a bit but then it’s quickly narrowing down faster than I thought. All the same I don’t regret when I look back, so far it has been a worthy while journey. Am here now thinking of my retirement years and values to pass to some little humans beings who seem to have a whole life ahead of them. I can no longer pick my bag and travel for missions, ‘keshas’ or to my mum’s place without a prior planning of logistics that will kick out some adventures by the fact that my decisions affects them directly. When did we get here now… It’s just the other day we could code our lives out till late hours in the office, hop from one ‘kesha’ to another, traveling from town to town, visiting friends and even doing sleep over.

Am here looking over the window at the sight of tall buildings in the neighborhood. So often my mind will keep throwing a glance to my little Nyambu. Atleast the older one is in school and for whatever happens there we will catch up in the evening. My hubby is busy with some messy code that he has to streamline. I have a whole messy code that I need to test and debug, just trying to collect back by creative bit of mind to crack it all successfully. On the other side I remember I have some beans that are drying up in the shamba and I need to harvest. The maize corns are ready and am wondering when I will sit down and roast some before they dry up to mess my teeth. Shortly I remember my wall need to be wiped after so many scratches from in-house bike riding. I have to chat a mentee to do something in preparation of our weekend meeting. A group I lead in church is leading prayers today and I need to organize well. I have to chat a gal friend that is a family friend because I dire need them for my social life and adventures.

At the same time am doing tickets for server access for today’s work. For some reason I have to call my mum to get information that am not sure whether it’s necessary but I have to all the same. On the side I remember I needed to engage my publisher for something different. This and so many more are lingering in my mind. For sure God created such a master piece. Thinking about this and many more all at short span is an amazing aspect of human mind.

Before long I will be on a timer for an evening routine that has to be followed because life happened and God’s blessings filled our cups and our house. Before it’s dawn we have to be well aware of ourselves for some personal devotion for I thirst for intimacy with God more than life itself. I mean life is an amazing adventure, live it well. As the wisest man said, ‘There is time for everything’. Your decisions today will directly affect your tomorrow so be wise. May the Lord help us to number our days so that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Psalm 90:12). You will not be young forever, like a flower so is life. Desire not wealth that you have not worked for justly for the bible says “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it” Prov 13:11.

Live well and live wisely.
