Half Way 2008

Its June !!! A good time to run a mid year review or better still see where we have come short and seek to make ammends early.

But then again, is that really the case? We openned the year under a ball of smoke and fire, just when it was dying out prices of everything skyrockets, five months later many Kenyans are still in IDP camps, amnesty or no amnesty and the list goes on!!

Call me a hyper-optimist but I believe that God has something great in store. After the labor pains, after the traviling there comes a new life. And I believe that is it for me, for us, for Kenya.

Whats on for June:

- You will recall in my April post me mentioning about the takeover at the firm where I have been for a year or so, well nothing much has changed and the transaction effects are yet to trickle down. Where does that leave me? In God's Hands. Well, still at base but my ear is on the ground for any opportunities. Just fresh off a string of interviews and waiting on God for favorable responses.
- We start Season II of the small group meetings in church and are looking forward to another exciting seven week journey in continuing to discover our purpose in this world.
- Is this misplaced? Not at all... OK the Euro championship kicks off on 7th and I am rooting for Spain and Portugal. Wacha-na-na-hio... the National Football team has a hectic schedule and God willing I am down with the process. One match lost but kwani... I will be in the stadium having fun and cheering the new look (read KFF free) Stars...
- On 4th, my wife and I will be celebrating 15years since we set eyes on each other and what a period it has been. Yaani... we have been married for 13 years and we thank God that we can still enjoy our lives and share ourselves the way we do. Supuu... ni wewe tu!

My guding verses:

John 16: 20I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. 21A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
