Happy birthday Foster Mbuna Mkapa!

" You (God) give beauty for ashes, comfort for pain and laughter for gladness in your name" (Isaiah 61) My heart is full of joy and gratitude as I look back at how far I have come. If it was not for you my heavenly father carrying and walking me through I don't know where I would be. I have seen myself growing physically, emotionally and spiritually. 

*I have faced pain so that I could comfort those in pain. 

*I have experienced loss so that I know the importance of having people around me.

* I have experienced reject to know the importance of not ignoring people or categorizing them because in your sight we are all equal. 

*I have experienced sickness to learn to appreciate good health.

* I have experienced happiness, satisfaction and peace to know that intangible things are what matter than materialistic things.

* I have encountered obstacles to learn that all blessings come from you and not to be judgmental because your timing is the best. I have learnt humility.

*I have encountered strangers who made my journey smooth to realise that the world is not cruel and strangers can turn to be your relatives/ friends if your don't confine yourself in your tiny world. Just do your part and the rest will fall into the right place.

* I have realized that change begins with me by letting go of all the negativity/grudges and the power of these 3 words; I am Sorry/ Please forgive me, Thank you and I Love you!
