If I had to define myself, I would say I am Wambaire. Wam for short. A fierce Kenyan woman. A creative. A dreamer. An entrepreneur but most importantly, a daughter of God who’s unashamed of the Gospel.
I am un-associated with the world and I refuse to be defined by my past. I was that party girl. The life of the party who knew where all the parties were at. I was a drunk and a sex and porn addict and I got my validation from men & social media but now I’m a new creature! Made new by Jesus, and using my gifts to further the Kingdom rather than please the world.
To be very honest, I was always a surface Christian and by that, I mean a Christian whenever it was convenient for me, and the pandemic exposed that to me. I turned away from God throughout almost the entire pandemic until I rededicated my life to Christ in October.
The moment I knew I had found peace and I was content was in late November after I had just finished a fast. Spending those three days alone with God just gave me a breath of fresh air.
The greatest trial I have overcome is definitely sexual immorality and porn addiction. It was the hardest to overcome because I was soo deep in it. I knew that if I wanted to fully commit myself to God I had to let it go and when I did, I lost a lot of friends. All because I refused to put myself in situations that would trigger me like parties etc. By God’s grace, I’m a better person today. I’m not vulgar anymore and I don’t go around sexualizing everything and everyone. I’m being a better friend etc.
If I can impart anything to the youth of today, it would be, if you’re struggling with lust, lustful desires, etc, check your environment. Check your circle of friends, check the music you listen to, the shows you watch, and the conversation you’re having and, then make the necessary adjustments. You’d rather be seen as uncool but be uncool for the kingdom than be a cool kid than lose your access to the kingdom.
