Thanks giving in America 3rd Thursday of November every year in America is Thanksgiving, probably the second biggest holiday celebrated, i was glad to meet the Cash family through Skype, and also happy to be home in my bed, it rained alot. when i think about thanks giving i remember in my church every 1st Sunday of the month is thanks giving and we dance and praise and worship most of the time, there is less preaching on this day which gives me the opportunity to dance and sing, i love this Sunday.
As my American friends celebrate thanks giving i find my self celebrating with them, i find myself rejoicing and imaging am in church, i am so thankful to God for all he has done in my life for the past few many years i have lived to see the sun, am grateful for my family, very thankful for my friends and all the achievements i have got during this time, they are not so many but i am still grateful, i am most grateful to God for having saved me for the gift of salvation, for letting me call him Father, for having me as his child and allowing me space in his kingdom, for letting me be his servant and friend i am so thankful, that i know him as my personal lord and Savior, as my redeemer, that he has me inscribed at the palm of his hand, i am so grateful, that he has a good plan for my life.
He has blessed me with a good job, service in his kingdom at refuge and hope international ministering to people affected by war and conflict offering them a refuge and hope, i am so privileged to be among those he has chosen to minister to his people in this way and to be part of a big plan he has got for those affected by war being part of their lives is a previlage, i am so grateful that his light shines and radiates through me to those people and that each day i lay my self down at his feet so he can shine brighter that less of me is seen but more of him, so grateful to know i can always count on him when nothing seems to work out and he will give me strength to continue with his work.
i am thankful for all the friends i have meet at my workplace, for being a motivation and a reminder for the good works that have to be done in the kingdom for the lessons i have learn through them as they let the father use them as instruments to bring glory to the kingdom, for all that have been a stepping stone for me to grow spiritually mentally, socially and professionally i am thankful.
Thank you all for being part of my life and showing me the way and letting father use you all in various capacities to uplift me and make me what father wants me to be.
Thank you father for allowing me meet all these people and giving me the opportunity to interact with them. on thanks giving i give you Thanks for All you have brought to my path and have played different roles in grooming me THANK YOU

BEAUTY
I was up last night at 2.00am and coould not go back to sleep till 5.00am, so within that time i really had nothing much to do in the dark there was no power, and at that time every is asleep, i had no idea why i was awake at that time, i got my "phonetouch" and started to read the bible, reading sometimes makes people sleep well, it does not work for me and yeah i got the bible to read so i can fall asleep adn blame it on the devil, it did not work, i read proverbs and songs of songs. they talked to me and renewed my spirit it had been long since i read these scriptures, it was refreshing and soon, three hours were like 3 minutes and i was sleeping again, i am fully awake at work.
The Hair and Beauty class did not have a teacher today and i taught, yes i taugh, it was fun, fun to be with these ladies and talk about beauty, fun to remind myself too that Beauty is not just outward adornment, it is more than that and it is from inside-out.
My class was fun as the Beautiful ladies laughed at how true we can be cruel to ourselves and those around us, and how we build or destroy that which God made and saw that it was Beautiful.
I had so much Joy teaching this, how to Build self esteem according to how we 'Package" our bodies, dresscord and we talked about the different body shapes and how to dress up to flatter our bodies.
The ladies were amazed at how God values us and has esteemed us highly and the need to compliment each other.
This was fun, it was a 2 hr class and the time runout so fast.
made me reconnect with myself and know what i enjoy doing and the gifts that God has given me and how much women have low self esteem that they will not believe when you tell them they are pretty, they have so much doubt in themselves, they have no idea how much they are worth and who they really are in christ Jesus they are Treasures their value is far more than rubies and Pearls, they are Precious in his sight and He loves them.
Made me realise how much i want to remind every woman out there that God values his creation and they are part of that creation they need to take care of themselves because God Loves them and they are Beautiful.!!!

PREVILAGED............part 1
I am so exhausted right now and yet this is so fresh in my mind and heart a few more days and i will not not have it, the second half of the year has started off so busy, exciting and hectic at the same time, had a four days conference at munyonyo speke resort and those who know Uganda can tell how munyonyo is very lovely with lake Victoria view very beautiful and very expensive too, Luxurious as first i thought being in such a place, i would relax and have fun at the pool or by the lake side walking barefoot, well that was not the case i found myself amidst so many people from different countries people with different backgrounds and people with different mindsets i felt like it was the whole world gathered here in Kampala.
it was a mixture of scholars, Academicians, Policy makers, researchers, government officials Refugees, donors and so many other categories of people.i am not sure which category of people i belong to but i was there too...:)PREVILAGED
Thanks to Jade and Shelah for giving me the opportunity to be one of the people at this Informative and Educational conference, i have got so much knowledge my head is almost bursting and my heart is filled with joy to know what i know right now and i am privileged to be feeling this way. One of my school slogan was" Knowledge is Wealth" and indeed i feel so rich , stocked up and the sky is the limit where i can go with all the knowledge i got from the conference.
The theme of the conference was "Governing Migration"Yeah i know that sounds political right, yeah it was diverse, i t covered every thing from politics to social Economic issues to Gender and all that, with confidence and Authority the people presented what they had and strongly talked about what they believed in from how human rights being marginalized, to the gay community in Uganda who believe they are being persecuted and they have a right to be free, the prostitutes who believe it is a business that should be legalized, the urban refugees who felt they were forgotten, Asylum seekers who do not understand why they are left to wait for a long time and later to be denied, refugees being forced back into their countries and violent sex against gender and what men are really good for and remembering that men were also victims of sexual violence.
A wide variety of issues challenging and intriguing questions were raised and all this made me proud to be who i am and to be from the place i identify as HOME, am proud to be African.
i realized my importance both to the people in my community, my country and the world at large, i am so privileged, so privileged.
during the conference i got to meet some amazing people who took me into their world and told me about themselves, who they are, what they do and why they do what they do, Thanks to them for keeping me going even when i was tired and we were all tired they held me by my hands and told me we can go on and get there, we laughed so much, talked about what we thought about the different presentations , had an Academic Crush on Alex Bret from Oxford university, he is so smart, and Astrid one of the girls i met from Canada had a Crush on Chris Dolan the director of the Refugee Law Project, she lost focus every-time she saw him and we all would laugh about it, i had so much fun and got so much knowledge at the same time, meeting all these people made realize how wonderful God is and how he has a good plan for my life.
i am so Privileged.

DID HE WATCH?!?
If you do nothing in a difficult time, your strenght is limited, Rescue those being attacked and taken off to death and save those stumbling toward slaughter.
If you say , "But we did not know about this," won't he who weighs hearts consider it?
Won't he who protects your life know?
won't he repay a person according to his work?
He lives and he watches, Right?, Just curious, do not doubt his love and all that but i know he loves us and cares about us and knows us just woundering if you watched the scene......
A Tusti woman, what was her crime, what had she done to deserve such treatmetn, so we choose our parents?, do we choose our looks? which country to belong to? we always find ourselves where we are, we never choose hospitals to be born from right.....He is always watching even when we are born...She was born Tutsi, grew up in Rwanda, very Beautiful and graceful, polite and calm just like all the people in Rwanda, one day all her beauty and value was over looked she lost her 9 month old baby, as if that was not enough, over 15 men raped her taking turns, very sure looked at each other as in approval of what they had done, not sure what they would do next after destroying her and her screaming could nto even save her at that point very powerless and helpless, they watched her in pain and as if that was not enough, They got a stick pushed it through her virgina to her head, there she met her creator, she had her last breath, she passed on, she was labled with a stick through her body, her body lay there and she was gone, her spirit out of her and he Watched...............he watched all that happenign to her, was that her fate, was she being punished for being Tutsi?, for Being Beautiful?. what was her crime? He still watched, he always watches over us. Yes he Watched and got her out of trouble, he rescued her , not the way we wanted to, but the best that he saw for her, his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are far from our thoughts, he watches over Us, He watched over Her.

I AM SO SORRY, BEAUTIFUL ONE.
Ever heard someone tell you their story and your are speechless?, all you can say is Beautiful one i am so sorry, how could they do that to you?, how could someone think of hurting someone as beautiful as you? how can some one think of using some one as innocent as you are? you are so beautiful and full of joy and laughter and that could not stop someone from inflicting pain on you, destroying your innocence and devaluing you making you seem worthless.
I am so sorry Beautiful one that you had to go through what you went through.
Went to a house of beautiful girls yesterday and my heart was torn apart listening to mariam their Mentor, friend and coordinator explain to us what these beautiful girls have gone through, was not so painful as watching them dance and play and without saying a word tears droped at how someone gets the energy to hurt someone like them, i had pain in my heart and asked Father(GOD) to take control and take charge, i am so sorry there was no one to help you, no one to protect you and no one to stand by you, i wish i were there i wish i could have doen something to stop what happened to you , i wish you had never lived to be one of the people that were hurt by those withoug hearts, i am sorry beautiful one, i am sorry, i wish i could turn the clock but i can not all i can to is stand by you. Now that you are out of their claws, protect you so you can never be their prey anymore, restore your value for you are priceless, let you know how much i love you and how much i will not let anyone take advantage of you, let you know that Father(GOD) loves you and he has always been by your side and he has a good plan for you, let you know how precious you are to the world and most of all, help you realise that you can make many other who have gone through the same tragedy you have to overcome their fears and be whole again, Let you know that you are Treasures.................
