Being Wanjiru Ndung'u

 I have been stuck in a financial quagmire this whole year. I feel I cannot keep complaining about it, but instead work around it. I have been dreaming to sell cakes since 2019. This, I have been postponing for years now. I dont know what the future holds, but Lord, you know the future. I pray that Ii become the best baker that I can ever be, I pray that I unlock my creativity to the next level, I pray I am able to satisfy clients and in return I change my financial positon. I pray that with the skills that I will learn in school, they dont end up wasted. I pray Lord, that while I am going to school, I remain resiliant.I pray that Suzzan and Francis are able to take care of Mwangi.I pray dear Lord that this sacrifice becomes a worthy cause. I know it wil not be all rosy, I therefore pray for wisdom and grace to go through it dear Lord, to remember the reason I am there. I pray for a different 2024. Amen

My name is Mercy Wanjiru. I  am29 years old. I am a fiancee to a lovely man, a mother to one year old boy, a sister to 6 siblings, a daughter to 2 lovely parents, an employer to my nanny.  I currently live in Nairobi Kenya,  currently working as an accountant. I am a semi skilled video editor and a semi skilled baker too. I also enjoy having deep conversations with people and an avenue where I listen and try to share my perspectives of situation- This I seem to enjoy and I get information from social media most times to refer to.   I work from 7.30 am to 5.30 p.m for my full time job. I have enough time to rest at home since I arrive latest at 6.30 p.m and leave at 7 a.m. I am looking for a side huste to do, and I am currently in a blurred moment. I have been reading that things take time, I am feeling I have no time. With the current fast financial changes in the country, I am not able to keep up financially, I am loosing too much. I understand life is not equa...
