Where To Start

I have said this before, will say it again... its been a long time since my last post and the monthly briefings have been virtually gone!

There are several thing that I could blame including the more use of Facebook, events in my life since the last post bla bla bla ... but I won't, ama I already have?

I'll make this simple... I will share the highs, the lows, the lessons and the victories of the last few months and we move from there...

October 08:

-I finally called it quits and moved on from my previous employer. After months trying to integrate the two businesses, the cultural differences were night and day and I moved on.
- The house construction slowly ebbs to a pause with finances running low and no new applications expected, its time to quit the site.
- PhD Prais-athon both editions are a resounding success ... Yaani, Mungu anajitukuza kabisa!! See recap here ...

November 08:

- I sign off a brand new contract in a brand new company offering a brand new concept in virtually untested ground. The company has been newly registered but is part of bigger group from Denmark with an amazing concept ... see www.grundfoslifelink.com for details.
- The total returns from Operation 25 hit the 220,000/- mark and that is a major achievement! I feel personally proud that the effort has now moved on and become a huge contributor to StAY Alive campaign against drugs through the KATAA Initiative.
- The biggest (by reach & budget) KATAA AntiDrugs roadshow happens running from Kahawa West, Githurai 44, 45, Kasarani, Zimmerman.... WOW!!! See a recap here ...
- I start my new contract a week early to assist in the setup formalities!

December 08:

- It feels like starting all over again... all registrations VAT, PAYE, NSFF, NHIF et al... wacha tu!!
- De ja vu ... applications for VISA to go to Denmark in January!!
- Participating in the planning and execution of the first ever Christmas Comes To Zimmer Cantata. It was personally gratifying, a long cherished dream finally fulfilled, thank you LORD. See recap here ...
- Its Christmas, and two long held traditions - visiting a church and no long distance travel are broken!! We make a cameo appearance at St Andrews and shortly hit a traffic filled road to Murinduko to visit with my wife's in-laws. Going by the menu, it was not a bad idea at all!!
- New years, and we are spoilt for choice on how and where to cross over from. An attempt at taking the kingdom for TSO hits a snag due to the sheer traffic (both human and otherwise) and so we move on to Sifa Car Park! The All Star Unity Party is on. Could only last until the fireworks are over!!

January 09:

- The highlight definately!!! Europe for the first time ever! Day one of landing and its minus 10 degress!! Culture shock!! The sunlight is never out until 9AM and hurriedly takes off at 4:30!! I never got to see what happened or what there was between my hotel room and the office (traveled when it was DARK!! This could take a whole page ... wacha hio itoshe for now! But the bottom line even with all the excitement, I LOVE KENYA!!
- More setups!
- With a clear voice God says its your Year of Jubilee... and so my family and I embark on a new road to discover our next mission ground ... I will cover this extensively under a separate post!
- And so the above journey starts ... first its the Patrons Breakfast and Kamukunji (see recap here...)

February 09:

- Its back to basics ... setting up new systems from srcatch!!
- Construction restarts at our future home and what a flurry of activity
- Discover I am a celeb... the hard way!! The firm that took over the firm I left in October publishes my image among others in the local press in a general public announcement about no longer being with them! Amazing how people (mis)understand some of this things!! Interesting stares by the neighbours, parishioners and other acquitances, cannot help but hear some voices. Its about time to know your true friends! Since I am a preacher, elder and crusader it gets even more interesting!!
- Its the queens birthday ... Happy Birthday My Lady, my Lover my Friend!! Still discovering who you are more than 16years since I met you and more than 13 since you came to live with me!!
- At the kingdom, we are taken through the Prayer of Jabez step by step by the queen in a four week series!! This is powerful!

March 09:

These is what I am looking forward to:

- A journey of new discovery starts this month after my family and I have been officially released by the Church
- LIFELINK hits the ground with the maiden installation
- Seeing through my two outstanding assignments with the Praise Team & StAY Alive Fellowship.

My guiding theme is Healing and the reference is Matt 8:1-13!!

Praise The LORD!!
