Re- FOCUSED

Last week didn't begin so well, but ended in a glorious way. I attended the Million Leaders Mandate Training at the International Christian Center (ICC) Nairobi West campus and had a truly refreshing time there. I was challenged about my role towards my family and encouraged to do more to spend time with them. I was also challenged to get my plans on paper, and in order. The theme of the training was 'Talent is never enough' and we were led into awesome teachings on the various factors that should accompany talent in our pursuit of excellence.

I was part of the volunteer team and my main task was to play the guitar and sing back-up during the music sessions of the training. I also assisted in various other duties, especially when it came to tasting the tea to make sure it had enough sugar :) I got to sing a song from my album and it was well received although CD sales didn't go as well as I had hoped. Nevertheless, it was good to be able to bless and encourage those in attendance with the song 'Nimesamehewa' which talks about the forgiveness we get from God in spite of our waywardness.

I am now in Diguna Mbagathi, planning for the weekend sleepover that we are intend to have with our Bible study group. The theme of the weekend will be on Goal Setting and I am hoping to get a friend of mine to facilitate that session. We will also get to hang out with each other and bond, have team building activities and celebrate our third birthday with a luncheon on Saturday.

In the meantime, we are still planning for our annual trip to Oyugis and this happens in December but planning is already well under way. We had various projects in mind as tools for fund raising towards the trip and one of them was the printing of T-shirts for sale. The person printing the t-shirts for us is doing it at a minimal fee, because he is a member of the group and we hope to have them ready by Wednesday.

So far, so good. I not only learnt to get active and do things, I hit the ground running this morning. I hope your week has began well and that you sustain the momentum that will help you to achieve great things in your life. In all things, remember that no amount of effort or preparation should take precedence over the will and purpose of God in your life Proverbs 21:31. Blessed week.
