Can listen to her all day so eloquent... am inspired beautiful gal

[@judemazho9612]

Her ambitious nature and self-assured confidence are truly inspiring. I'm curious about how her children can do considering she comes from a village and pushes herself to the limit. She started by discussing her strength and determination - her resilience. The challenges she faced probably helped her become more adaptable and resilient. A person with strength can overcome disappointments without letting them impede their progress. That's exactly what she did. I find her faith and the amazing transformation it brought about truly inspiring, especially since it astonished her grandmother. The grama thought her faith was way too much. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! 🙏

[@explosiveworshiper]

@@Nzembitv The best and most attractive thing in your journey is your FAITH its strong and deep and im glad i got to hear about it and i love the fact that even if your mum and grandma did not leave you much in terms of worldly wealth they gave you a far more precious and rich inheritance by teaching you the ways of God and his word and all these trials that have come your way is an attempt to steal that faith from your heart nomatter what happens keep the FAITH!!! what a rich heritage you have God bless you and keep you !!!

[@Nzembitv]

@@explosiveworshiper thank you so much! I'm forever grateful for the strong foundation of love & faith, that my parents built for me. I cherish the memories that I made with them - in Kenya & America. All the ups & downs that made our bond even stronger!💪 I salute you Mama & Grandma! 🥂 💞 🙏

[@teresiawachira1034]

Your prayers were like mine, I will travel outside Kenya and drive a car. I did both and also flew my mom abroad. Dreams are valid. You have to dream.

[@Nzembitv]

Awesome! Dream + Pray + + Believe + Hard Work = Reality & success. Praise God for realized dreams.

[@DavTec1]

Your growing up is somehow similar to ours (my brother and I). The difference is that we had a present grandfather, but had suffered stroke years back so he was not working anymore, we used to sit with him in the afternoon around the jiko ya makaa, coz its very cold some times where we grew up, Nunguni-Kilungu. Our grandma was active in some little household work. We always had a househelp as much as i can remember. We used to do housework too, together with our househelp. I'm so happy grandma insisted on us doing chores together with our househelp because thats how i learned alot. That time growing up in the village, my mum was in the city "working". She would visit us maybe once a month for a weekend, but i hardly have any memory with her as a child/teen. .. sometimes I didn't see her for 3 years in a row.. Years later around 1995, mum had got a mzungu, they met in those tourists destinations where she worked. I think in amboseli. Oh by the way, I used to call her by her name too., till today it feels odd for me calling her "mum" , we didnt grow up with her, she missed all our young life, the most important part of life growing up. In 1996 she moved permanently to this mzungus country, to Austria. We still remained in Nunguni and life was fine, we kept schooling. I finished my primary school and joined high school. Year 2000, our mum invited to visit her in Vienna-Austria. She had got my half sister then, so she wanted us to meet them. We came to vienna and thats how we are still here. I was a 16 years old teen, my bro is 3 years younger. We had now came to a new country, everything new. We were happy to atleast be with our mother...(we thought we would live with her) Life started with her, our mom who never lived with us before and didnt know anything about us. In less than a year, things were not well at all.... living with her and her husband plus the new born baby . It was not the life we knew. Remember, we had never lived with her or even this man who is now our step - dad. ... so we moved out about a year later (my bro and I). Long strory... we are in a country where not even a word english is spoken.... Hehehe 24 years later, we all grown up, living life.... we've tried our best. I have a long long story. How i still miss having an active parent in my life growing up. How till today at almost 40 years old i'm searching for my biological dad, how mom behaves "funny" towards me.. (thats how i feel) or let me use the word rejected..... My mission is to tell my whole story out there, to let the world know that not every parent is a parent, how moving with kids to other countries isn't always the best ..... It's life, it's what it is .....

What a powerful testimony, she reminds me of my own story, family member that will drain you when u have to give them, life and the blessing your mother/granny will continue to follow you Rosemary you are bless and your testimony is a tremendous blessing of so many of us as children, I am from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 an island that's fill with love sea and beautiful people, today I read your story and wow it is sad but a blessing at the same time your life was full of trauma, without the mother around u granny was a real soldier in the Lord, her love for God has kept you up to thiis day. So much of your story reminds me of my own family drama. Your life and granny was a big clearance for u God bless you Rose as u continue to inspire others to Live and stand up for Truth that's my life as well but God is faithful 💕.

Inspiring story indeed.Thank you for sharing.I have a traumatic experience with my family as well but I can never talk about it.

[@Nzembitv]

I pray you'd find the courage to overcome that fear.

[@lindat6623]

Grew up with lots of traumatic experiences myself. Years ago I wrote it all down in several journals and never shared with anyone. Writing it down and reading it all when done was very therapeutic. Several years later I burned the journals in an outside pit, and as the smoke rose I was able to release and finally forgive. I’m not saying this is the route you should take, but getting it all out did my soul a lot of good and got rid of so much negative energy that is seriously unhealthy mentally & physically. Blessings 🙏🏽
