Re-Invigorating, Re-Introducing and definitely Re-Occupying the Space

Hello Reader

Allow me to first take this opportunity to apologise to you, readers and followers of this Blog. I owe you an apology because of my absence from this space for such a long-time without informing you of my intention to do so. its not fair that I do this and expect you to just shrug it off and be ok with it. its not right that I introduce such a mega Blog, promise to educate, empower and share with you knowledge and then boom! I disappear. for that I am deeply sorry, I regret ever doing that and I undertake never to repeat this "vanishing act" as my friend eloquently put it to me recently.

The reason for my disappearance Reader is because I wasn't doing well, my family was going through a serious crisis. My little sister whom I care so much about kept on collapsing, fainting and when as a family we consulted various doctors and Sangomas without any help. We were so torn around the health of this child that life was bad. I guess that's how much we love this child. Its just that she is a very quate, innocent, young girl blessed with immersed beauty and brains. She couldn't attend much of her schooling period during her unhealthy days. Her health hurt all of us, us as a family, her teachers as well as her close friends. My parents also didn't make things easy, I have those typical traditionalist parents who hardly believe that prayer can change things around. I am a very spiritual person, I believe in the power of prayer, so finding myself surrounded by this people made things difficult for me.

I tried very hard encouraging my family to trust in prayer while pursuing other things but they were so stubborn and didn't take any of my advice. My mother being a Sangoma herself put it frankly to me,"God help those who help themselves and this time HE will understand our predicament Papa " she left me just like that. I was flabbergasted at her naïve thinking of the God we serve. So out of respect I left it up to her and my father to do as they see it fit for the betterment of my little sister.
Today as I write, my little sister is at some songoma in some village its name I can't even pronounce. Apparently she has an ancestral calling like my mother, so they admitted her to undergo her ritual, go thwasä (Ancestral training). She is there I spoke to her and she told me she's feeling better, the faintings and collapsing has ceased since arriving there. I don't know whether to take this gladly or be worried. But as a Christian firmly embedded in Christian principles, I have left everything in God's hands. He knows better than I do.

There my Reader you have it, that's what has kept me away from my responsibility to you. But now that's water under the bridge, I am back and ready to re-occupy my space here. You can be sure that this is going to be a well-worth taking with me jerney. I promise its going be an awesome ride, you won't even feel the bumps and the potholes. Stay with me on the course of this ride.

Till Monday...
