AND THE 20TH DAY

A SUMMARY OF ME
In me dwells Peace, Love ,Patience, Courage and for today just that I'm old enough to be satisfied with what I have, and young enough to still want more; Lucky enough to have been really stupid and lived to tell about it — cursed enough to have a good memory; Intelligent enough to understand that I still have a lot to learn, and ignorant enough to continually prove to myself that I still haven't.

DAYS 6 TO 8
Nothing extra ordinary has happened
Ive drunk loads of juice of all types of concoctions.
so ill talk about my dreams.
am being bold!
day 5
dreamt an old lady asking me to drive her car I cant remember why,I got in the car and the brakes and accelerator where all in the wrong places then the car hit a car in front in the process.
Day 6
dreamt i was in the undergound train system in zambia and all the walls appeared new and unfinished but for some bizzare reason the trains where running, in the dream i was asking how safe that was.
then got out at some station which had a nice pub out side though it took ages just for us to get to the sits which in the dream where right there, no drinks where drunk though the next thing I was at my house and a Friend knocked the door and asked me to live so I grabbed my son and we took off....
day 7
various mixed dreams though I remember being offered some food and i refused though I found myself eating a choclate whilst standing and I told someone that I had just messed my fast then I woke up...
cant remember the other stuff I dreamt .
What I have Read
I have just stuck mainly to the bible and yesterday decided to read articles on the net on fasting theres loads of stuff which was great to know.
Didnt think I should talk about my weight, but I cant help it ive actually lost 20 pounds
ideally I should have lost half that but that just shows how unfit and toxic my body has been.
I didnt think I had such a will power actually ive shocked myself.
on day 6 I was at a friends for a bible study and they cooked the fantastic t-bone steak with my favourite zambian vegetables the chibwabwas(pumpkin leaves)
and I said no to that am still in shock.
though that worked well for me coz every other food is just nad now.
I have become extremly patient I belive am patient but I feel more patient....

AMASHIWI

Day 5
all is well no side effects today
had enough time and cleared all the clutter in my room and I thought It was my mind that was foggy it appears all around me was foggy.
I have not spoken to anybody on the phone which feels odd theres always someone calling.
My prayer oh lord today is that you touch the lives of all those who went to the same high school as me and university lord ,I pray that youll meet them at their point of need and oh lord I pray that youll make them whole if their ailing, Dear God lately theres been so many young men and women dying in Zambia
I pray oh lord that youll touch the hearts of people to seek help early and not be discouraged.
most of all I pray for the peace the lord Jesus left us to abide in them.

Its my day 4
so I actually made it from yesterday when I had terrible headaches and all sorts of sensations . getting to the computer was far fetched.
this morning woke up afresh and renewed, ive not had a headache at all so thats pretty cool.
visited a new church today which was great.
Id spent yesterday reading the bible and praying,
I thank God I still went on.
Am feeling so elevated today, so clarity is on my door step definetly.
I rarely drink water so this has really been good for me,Iam having loads of it and ofcourse seeing more of my loo.

Thankyou God for you said when I pass through the waters you will be with me,and that the rivers will not overwhelm me,that the fire shall not burn me and the flame shall not consume me, for you said you are my God and that am precious in your eyes and that you Love me.
Thankyou.

Zambian People are voting for political leaders on thursday,28 th september,2006.
its hard to say who will win this time, all i can say is that we ve all seen how we have let down the real people who gurantee the beds in the plots and thats the grass root Zambians ,its amazing how they have suddenly been remerbered and chances are that as am writing theyre being stuffed with food and drink to last till midnight friday and then its bussiness as usual.
who ever gets to state house, should really take advantage of the booming economy to improve the ecommy of the country.
the voters will not vote the best man academically or .......
because right now as the old philosophers once said
mankind must first of all eat and drink, have shelter and clothing, before it can pursue politics, science, religion, art, etc; and that therefore the means of life, and consequently the degree of economic development attained by a given people or during a given epoch, form the foundation on which the forms of government, the legal conceptions, the art and even the religious ideas of the people concerned have been evolved, and in the light of which these things must therefore be explained, instead of vice versa as has hitherto been...
now its not the best of times to be quoting peoples writings but this applies for the millions of zambias so...
God Help Us.

Its 1.50 am
I usually sleep very late coz this is my only time of real peace so !!!!
Ive spent most of the day reading an article in my mail box,
" Dear All
Yes it is true Wilaf died and we buried him in Kabwe on Monday 18th September 2006. Apparently it has been a turbulent time for the family. Wilaf's father died in July 2006, then his sister in August 2006 then himself in September 2006. You could really feel for the mother. And the same day we buried Wilaf his mother in law (wife's mother) died in Luanshya. So such is life. "
about a gentle man who was in my high school [passsing away and it really made me sad} not the death but the thought of those who will remain on to experinence the loss, Once I did some years ago Lose two brothers a mother and a grandfather in a space of six months . logic had me thinking that God was on holiday.
so am thinking alot of people may be thinking money or words of comfort will bring some aliviation but the reality is
The God you think is sleeping gives comfort in his own way only he knows.
to think that your comforting church will be the place you fill most uncomfrotable because everyone suddenly thinks theres a curse ,where do you tourn to/
but to believe that in such times thers but one thing you can trust the answer from the empty space, I call it the presence of God others call it many things.
I pray for this Family In the name of Jesus that they may find the love and peace from within ,for no one knows what sorrow is ,except for that one, thats experiencing it at the time.
If you dont believe in the power of prayer just say peace, if you do a thanksgiving would be worthy.
Amen.

I have not been on the blog for over six months, thats because I have been writing a book ,trying to publish a newsletter working in the hospital and trying to be a good mum.beeing a good mum I think is most challenging especially if youre teaching a child how to write when you spend loads of time creating words ,well in the processing am learning too. any way back to the point my country will be electing a president in a few days time.we have various candidates but ild really only talk about three the present president Mr mwanawasa.Micheal Sata and Hichilema.If the educated people held the vote am sure wed vote for hichilema because hes got a good cv he looks the part and hed make us feel like we the fluent are running the show as usual.but then we have mr mwanawasa too. personally I dont have anything against him under the circumstances hes done hes best and zambia is still the peace full place we know.chilufya sata some say hes a dictator , hes rugged and not ideal for international policies etcthe grass root voters dont need the degrees, they need Inspiration and that he can give them we all know if he goes in power the cleaners in UTH will add more chlorine to the water to disinfect.so given these circumstances what is best for the zambian people.lets talk about the plunderes of the zambian wealth.at present we dont have proof we only hav hear say and money ranging form a few millions to billions stolen.the lawyer (mwanawasa has had trouble with this)so were do we go.Kaunda says sata is not a good candidate no doubt he came in as governor in his goverment so at the time am sure he had alot to change.As zambians id hope wed have some one in office who would really inspire us from the comfort zone were we have all packed our selves to the platform of work. the true promise is better health can only get to our footsteps if we work hard .and value one anothers lives and welfare.we have to learn from kaundas triumphs of one zambia one nation and from trying to learn why his economics failed.we have to learn from the dream chiluba had of privatisation and understand why the failures happened.we have to learn from mwanawasa honesy on bringing people to justice who have stolen and try to learn why prosecuting people has become a cat and mouse game wasting taxpayers money.so from me may the Best one win or if they dont, atleast learn from who ever was meant to be once in office

ctd from article below
am not bored more of cold as the leaves on my plant show [ice]. these are the lessons prides son was asked to learn from wisdom,
by the way hes names wrath.
1.Remember my name and where I live
2.Let what I teach you be expressed in your household in the same way as its done here as thats my will
ie just go and love.
3.As am your teacher I hold no grudges against you even when you falter do that too.
4.Ill give you all the daily requirements
5.When in danger call upon me and ill tell you what to do.
ill deliver you and help you, avoid the wrong paths.
wrath thought these were such easy lessons he did all of them masterd them wrote them in books on certain occasions he even added hes own as it wouldnt all be too easy, he thought. he went on to wisdom and told him he was more than ready
he showed him a card to justify how good a learner he was and that he even punnished those who didnt adhere to the rules.
wisdom looked at him and said
wrath I didnt tell you to be a teacher nor did i ask you to beg in my name, but to do what I said
love.wrath told wisdom that he did all that,and even attended seminars on love wrote books, healed the sick,amassed fortunes to spread the word.
wrath, wisdom said thats all good but the love is for you in your heart all the others come to me at their time.
when you have love in your heart youll forgive, you wont punish those who are different from you, you wont label them because youll remember how you were too, when you love youll give and not take....to be ctd

Once upon a time in never land lived two old men legend has it that they have lived forever however one of them was created by the other.
the two men were called wisdom and pride respectivel.they had children who all seemed to live side by side.
one day pride'son noticed that in wisdoms household all went well even when it was obvious that they had problems they walked about in jolly good moods, they knew when to plant and harvest and they owned the health and wealth that the world could offer and it did not make them miserable as compared to their camp.
in prides household money brought problems drug abuse alcohol abuse,and all the wrongs of the world.
so prides son asked Wisdom out of curiosity how to be like them.
wisdom told him it was all very simple,then pride' son marvelled and imagined a world where they would be no troubles and despite the fact that he would be in trouble if hes father found out he went on to ask wisdom to start teaching him.
the lessons were simple and they were to be done daily
they went as follows
to be ctd am in work!!!!!
