One more time

One amazing thing is how time just moves fast. Once, one of my teachers back in high school told me that time is a rotating commodity that can never be equal to human demand, may be it is true. And may be it also depends on the matrix of time measurement. I have learnt the later really matters from person to person; for some is how much has been done to others is how has it been done, and for others still it is because there will be time in the future. Well, judge for yourself the best for you. With the New Year I think it is another chance to become better, I can almost shout; God has done it again!!!

I started the year in Exit 07/08, seminars, fellowship, games, dinner and outreach not forgetting the fireworks is just but a mention of the activities over those 4 days. Am sure the photos below say it all. It was a teens’ camp and that is where I thrive too. My team mate and I also conducted a joint seminar on manuscript bible study too. Every time I went to bed during the camp I was fulfilled that I live my best, I was also glad that I was there.

It was nice to be back at Hald on 1^st of January ready for infield. It felt so homely as well as exciting to see all the international students. We all gathered loaded and waiting to share our diverse experiences, this was the way to ‘kill’ the night and topics for walks on the snow. In the west coast where I live, there is it much snow and I hadn’t seen much of it so the whitening of everything looked beautiful, and a game on the snow wasn’t so bad either.

Below: snow ball game and a look of hald during winter compare with below during summer.

Finally I am back home, I mean Stavanger it has already become a home. I missed the student fellowship and the great moments with my room mates. Am sure this time will seam so short but am energized to utelise it the maximum, it is a one more time to learn and grow.

Through it all

The thoughts of Christmas are so refreshing and energizing, it wasn't over yet until the swim on the 27th. This was an eager time too as it was the voting day in Kenya my home land. I had and I still have great hopes for my lovely country. There are many thoughts and statements about the situation but I think the most important thing that goes beyond politics and individual interests is chastity of life. Well, how this can be focus for everybody is one thing I never figure out. I must be honest that the aftermath of the elections has left me heart broken and I really didn't feel like I wanted to say anything about my stay until now. There is this song that has made my thought through this time;

Through it all by Ray Boltz

I've had many tears and sorrows,
I've had questions for tomorrow,
There've been times I didn't know right from wrong:
But in every situation God gave blessed consolation
That my trials come to only make me strong.

Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God;
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.

I've been to lots of places,
And I've seen a lot of faces,
There've been times I felt so all alone;
But in my lonely hours,
Yes, those precious lonely hours,
Jesus let me know that I was His own.

Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God;
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.

I thank God for the mountains,
And I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms
He brought me through;
For if I'd never had a problem
I wouldn't know that He could solve them,
I'd never know what faith in God could do.

Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God;
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.

The strongest thing I believe for now is that soon things will be fine home and life back to business.
