It's been a year since I landed in this beautiful country. Kenya.
I managed to buy a house which is located in the in a Maasai land. I'm yet to know how to pronounce the name. It's a bit difficult you know.
Over the year, a lot has happened including me having a new career. I now have my own gallery where I display my abstract drawings and bead work. When I came to this Maasai land, I met a few friends who helped so much in coping with the environment. They taught me their language and also the bead work. The bead work was a bit harder but it was worth it.
I've employed few people who will help me with the bead work because the orders are too many to handle myself. I've earned a good sum of money throughout the year. I'm about to launch this gallery in a few months to come. I really hope for the best.
Something odd also happened. I'm going to Church nowadays. Huh, I'm not joking. It's not something that I just sat down and figured it out like, "oh I should go to church", no it didn't happen like that.
I got convicted by the Holy Spirit. I know that the Holy Spirit didn't indwell in me because I was an unbeliever but one thing is for sure is that It made contact with me and influenced me. It made me see the rightful way of life comparing to what I've been living in my past. I felt free at last. It's like I was in bondage or something. I remember that day crying out loud to the Lord to forgive me. I also asked him to help me with my trust issues because after what Talia did to me, I hated girls.
I realized that forgiving is the only way to free yourself. I forgave them all for the things they did to me. Funny thing about forgiveness is that it warms the heart and cools the sting. I'm a new person, with a new identity and in a new country living a new life.
