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.

Thanks swet for standing with us for our country. Indeed, the situation is beyond natural decency and human wisdom and therefore praying and believing God who is able to heal our nation is the best thing we can do.

God bless you.
