What to make of this?

Hi Keitetsi,

I just wanted to write to ask your forgiveness for the thoughts I have had about you. We don't know each other but I found myself reacting negatively to many things and in turn harboring negative thoughts. I deleted a certain comment you sent to my blog a while back and now that I think of it, there was no reason to do that. I don't know if any of this makes sense but I want you to know that I am sorry for my composure towards you and I would not want to be thought of/treated any less than I would like to be treated so here's my attempt at reconciliation (which sounds weird since we don't know each other and you might not have any 'beef'). Just thought about it and realized it's not right what I am doing and decided to drop you a line or two.

Take care and have a lovely holiday season. God bless and keep you.

Esteri


i don't know why but for some reason this email that i received on 21 dec from ninsiima just rang really fake, i did not read the whole thing just checked who the sender was and typed "OK" as a reply but now that I am back from the festivities and have read it nicely i dont know what to make of it. she was right it didnt make sense. its the 3rd email im getting from a blogger apologizing.i did get the coldness from this blogger from a distance and all that and i really did wonder why. i dont know but i cant judge. who ever reads this tell me what u think. like the mail said, i had 'no beef' just wondered what the point is of walking around being christian when the people who need examples of christ cant see it in the person. i guess sometimes being human we just keep where its convinient and when the guilt checks in we say a rushed sorry and expect it to be all ok.

anyway, a new year, new things, i will figure out my own life and keep away from stuff like this that tries to distract me. happy new year anyone who reads this/

hey keitetsi,hope u have a great year and all the best to u and ur fam..stay positive and keep walking in christ..

today i think said...

Keitesti some one has come out and apologized and u acting like u never done nothing wrong grow up and try acting saved like u say. You are the one here who seems fake if you ask forgiveness from God and its granted who the hell are you to start judging someone’s apology. Let me tell u something yo blessings are not coming jus because u have refused to follow God’s word. Forgiveness comes with blessings and am sure u need them. Stop being bitchy about this whole thing…
I am so bitter about this whole half saved thing and you are one of them coz of the way you act

Iwaya said...

eh?

keitetsi said...

@Joshi, happy new year and thanks!

@Today I think, i appreciate u starting a blog just so u would be able to give me a piece of ur mind. your opinion is appreciated. i however, have to say something about the blessings, when a 24 year old has a lovely relationship with God, a sane family, (in cluding a mother who is actually recovering from cancer) numerous friends, has 3 cars, a mercedes e class, a rav 4 sport and a subaru forester, is debt free, works for a renowned bank, is paying for her education, abroad, remember, debt free, i could go on and on and on, when a 24 year old black woman has all this in a country away from home, errrrrrrrrrrr

I think she's blessed. Christians are not perfect. I'm not ashamed to be honest. Honesty is seen as bitchy-ness by many people. About the bitterness my being saved is not for you to be bitter about it takes so much less energy to focus on ur own life. God bless u dear.

@ Iwaya: Naiwe, "eh"? Define that "eh" of yours sil vous plait.

today i think said...

keitesti No one asked you to declare your assets or whatever that may be, those are worldly things. I can see you still got it all wrong we are here to perfect our journey to heaven and the blessings I meant have nothing to do with your having Rav4s blah blah blah… we are talking about spiritual blessings… Anyway seems like you are really tied up with anger and probably range for E for wat I don’t know and seems like you don’t want to admit that yo mad at her that’s not being honest… every one can be blessed with cars, nice job, a condo but not all can get the spiritual blessings…

mummy is recovering...AMEN!!!!!

It rains in December...and then it rains some! When I was young, there used to be a kiddies song on the TBN network with red-, green-, purple-, blue-, black-, brown- and yellow-faced puppets going round in circles as they sung of Jesus' love: Jesus cares for all the children, all the children of the world... I loved that song...still do!

Happy new year! Bon annee 2007!

eh eh...

Picasso said...

Er... And, do you have it?..

The "beef", i mean...

Salutations

keitetsi said...

@ picasso, no but her continued prodding and poking and pretending to wish me well does not sit well with me.

Ok i had to remove the jovial comment sorry everyone it wasnt doing it 4me

Dennis D. Muhumuza said...

it's a mark of intellectualism to give credit where it's due. and i think what ninsiima did was a great thing. so am suprised that you could react this coldly to an apology where i think you should have embraced it.

Pea said...

This is utter nonsense.
"Today I think", kindly show your (true) self.

Cheri said...

I really think she meant it with the apology. U on the other hand should try to be objective and let it all go way.

First off, copying and pasting the e-mail here was not a good thing. If she wanted the whole world to see it, she'd have done it on her blog.

I think u're habouring so much anger.
And then for the declaration of all your assets. If u think those are the blessings he was on about, I shudder to think further. I think that was so childish of u. None the less, IGG would be so pleased with u.

P:S This is my honest opinion-note the numerous use of the "I think".
Sorry if I offended u. Apology there. Hope u don't ridicule it.

But I think(there I go again)this has gone a bit too far.

keitetsi said...

Cherie your comment is appreciated thanks for taking the time to think out loud on my blog. I perfectly understand that it's hard for you to be happy about things going so well for me yet I am younger than you so 'i think' i will ignore that part thanks for being honest. Im not angry but i cant stand pretense so hey it will obviously step on a few corns and bunyons especially the fooled ones.

Cheri said...

"Am not happy for u????" Now I think u're straight out of your mind. Get this straight...I don't give a rat's behind about yo "possessions!"

To think am not happy for u is just absurd. Sounds so silly.

Before u hit the post tab, u shd first preview yo comment and posts so u see how stupid u sound before u post.

Its amusing how u think.

Just because no one else has aired their "blessings up here" don't mean they're not "blessed". Your RAVs, mercs and all that yada yada are not blessings for your info.

Ever heard of the rich fool and horse, needle's eye and getting to heaven....? No? Look it up. It'll make some sense to u.

Blessings? My butt.

Let Jovial Jitters also put her "blessings" up here so we compare notes.
My dear, cross over from the offensive side.

I really didn't want to go this way, but wat can I say, u bring it out in me. Bravo.

Anonymous said...

ABAYE WHY DONT U ALL STOP THE BIKERING AND WE HAVE A NICE NEW YEAR... MWESONYIWE EBINTU BYE ENSI...

keitetsi said...

I haven't read all you said but my eyes landed on let Jovial Jitters say all her blessings. I think the whole of Uganda knows about the Museveni family and its extensions. I know her blessings. If they are from God and not robbed from Uganda's poor, then AMEN!

keitetsi said...

Ok now I read about rich needle eye and getting to heaven. From that then probably I shall roast with Jovial Jitterz and family and issues shall be sorted out there.I am not rich, I am just successful and I don't get why it is so painful. Why have people only noticed the cars and the job and just a few seen what I said about my fam and mum and all that? Cherie relax. What is absurd is your reaction to the truth. I dont understand the authority people give humans - first Esteri/Jovial Ninsima changes blogs twice because I tell her the truth and then now u congratulate me for bringing out evil that has always been in you and only got exposed.

I know this sounds crazy but i think this entry is blessing many people.

Cheri said...

U know wat, I'm gonna be the bigger one here and shut my gob!

Because, if we go on and on like this, the cirlce is too big. We'll never make the revolution.

If the measure of success is the number of cars one has, lol!

What truth are we on about anyway?

U're right. U do sound crazy.

P:S Good to know yo ma is doin well. And happy nu ya.

And I mean that by the way.

Kyoka u pple why dont you leave pple's families out of this? If u say her family is stealing from poor Ugandans i thought that is her family and not her as an individual.... Guys stop being bitter about worldy possessions all yo all grow up!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaron said...

Woaahhhhh!!!!!

Hold up wait a minute one, two, three four! What the hell is going on here?

I will address all the ones I dont understand one by one.

Today I think, do you really? THINK, I mean. I am curious! Honest question. Please spell my sisters name right it is KEITETSI if you can't master 7 letters you cant be expected to understand a blog entry of three paragraphs.

What Keitetsi forgot to include in her list of blessings is that after our house in Kigali was burnt down and three of our uncles and an older brother were killed before our very eyes, we all managed to rise above the trauma and God saved us even when people said we would not be normal.

We fell back in class but somehow managed to rise to the top and even go beyond other people. Our parents came here (I am not sure she wants me to say where we are) and started from humble beginnings but managed to educate us until we got on our own two feet. Humble beginnings, as in living with hostile people, sleeping in a car with no heating in the winter. No food, eating the same thing daily. But prayer kept us going.

All that passed and now our mom's cancer cell has gone down. Keitetsi was told a few years ago that she might have leukemia. In fact she was told she did have it but just as we were getting ready to go into chemo and all that, Mummy decided prayer must work and it did. Today I think, you are MALICIOUS and MEAN and you really need to THINK.

Pea, hi girl what happened no more internet wadup. It is nonsense these people should all look at themselves I feel like slapping Kimmi for trying to explain herself to idiots like Cherie and Tomorrow She Might Actually Acquire A Brain. its nonsense true.

Cherie, grow up. If you are older than Keitetsi which probably means older than the people posting here too, you need to show some dignity and RESPECT. For your information, CARS ARE BLESSINGS. You probably have never had to walk 4 miles in snow so you don't know squat. Shut up and deal with it. The Bible said David had NEVER seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. You are obsessed with material things and the fact that Kimmi is unphased enough to talk about her stuff burns you. Get your act right, In saying that her possesions do not rats arse on your parking lot or whatever,I hope u realize how much of a rats arse you exposed yourself to actually give.

As for Salim Saleh and his wealth, I say like Uganda, if they are his for real, (even he said he stole) then God bless him and his entourage and relatives. We all know what the deal is with the Saleh family I wont wate my time expanding on that. Keitetsi dont curse yourself by saying you will burn with them only God knows if they will burn and if they do you dont want to be there.

Lastly sis, LEAVE THIS DEMON-INFESTED BLOGGER PLACE.

iwe AARON my name is EIGHT letters!hahaha

Pea said...

I am thankful that a day or two after reading from this blog, I came across a verse and chose to "be quiet, and do my own business"(1 Thess 4:11).

Lakini there's a time for silence, and a time to post comments.

Something escapes my understanding completely: Can someone please explain to me why everything about Esteri ends up being twisted into how Salim Saleh has stolen millions? Meanwhile, no offense but Uganda millions are not even that much, a million is like 50k Kenyan which is not even enough for a middle class Nairobian's rent! God sees all and rewards all. He knows the genuineness of Esteri's apology and Keitetsi if you hold something against E that God has deliberately chosen to forget then that is blasphemous because you are saying His decision is not good enough and thus you're exalting yourself above Him.

I believe you have been blessed and it's good to have all that "stuff" and even to list it (the world is not used to that coming from a Christian and that's their problem). Don't get me wrong; the last time a car drove someone into heaven was... let's see... nevurr. Neither have I seen a job that paid for anyone's sins. Where were those 'friends' when things were rough? Don't lose focus, my dear. God has trusted you with all that "stuff" but you're going to leave it all behind.

You're absolutely right, though! This comment section is blessing me, the number of blogs I visit is steadily being reduced... on which note, God forgive me for coming back here!

That said, I will begin to pray seriously against grudges or bad feelings towards people because I might repent, and apologize like E did, and then have my apology turned into some kind of disaster!

This is the last time I come to this blog. Thanks for being the blessing you have been.
Shalom.

@Pea thanks its your choice i guess .I will continue to visit urs because pretending it wont bless me will be a fat lie.
