Edday Nderitu jotted down her prayer request for 2024 even as she reflected on the past year which had some very dark chapters for her.
Recalling her experience in 2023, Edday said the most important lesson of the past year for her was discovering the importance of self-love and the beauty it brings.
"Looking back at 2023, it was a year of ups and downs, but one thing remained constant: the grace of God guiding my path of life (Psalms 16:11). I discovered the importance of self-love and the beauty it brings," Edday Nderitu wrote in a post on social.
As for 2024, Edday's prayer request to God had three items - personal growth, knowledge, and happiness
"Now, as 2024 unfolds, my heart is filled with gratitude, I am grateful for the lessons learned and eager to experience personal growth, seek knowledge, and nourish my soul with happiness. Get ready, because greatness," Edday wrote.
She added a Bible scripture to inspire her.
"John 1:16 AMP. For out of His fullness,we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing], favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift. May this be your potion this New Year-2024. AMEN. #nothingbutprayers #powerofprayers #answeredprayers."
Toxic environment
2023 was very tough for Edday as it marked the end of her marriage to Mugithi singer Samuel Muchoki alias Samidoh.
Samidoh eloped with Karen Nyamu and this devastated Edday who opted to relocate to the US with her three children in early May 2023.
On July 22, 2023, Samidoh's estranged wife explained that she made a conscious decision to remove herself and her children from a toxic environment.
Edday specifically said that her teenage daughter Shirleen Muchoki was 'a direct recipient of unbelievable behaviour displayed'.
The mother of three further stated that she was not in a polygamous marriage, adding that she had left her husband Samidoh to 'whoever needed him more'.
Edday additionally disclosed that she had managed to sustain her children's needs without any help.
"Lemmie clarify few things that were shared online and not accurate…… I am not in any polygamous marriage as stated I left the husband for whoever needed him more. I made a decision to remove myself and my kids from that toxic environment especially my teen daughter who unfortunately is direct recipient of unbelievable behavior displayed …I have managed to sustain my kids needs so far with no help and I am not regretting any bit of it. About communication and video calls I will leave that one there since some people seems to be present when that is happening but I’m not aware. In this new season of my life I don’t need any drama, I need peace only ,I hope next episode of this series my name will be left out. #nothingbutprayers #powerofprayers," Edday wrote on her Facebook account.
