Exhausted

It is now 15:13pm and I have just arrived home from church, since I left this morning at 6:30am. After a prayer session, three services and a surprise meeting with the senior pastor, I don't want to hear even one 'hallelujah'. I am not saying that it was boring or unpleasant, it was really great and it was a chance to pray more than we usually do in a normal service.

I have had a draining schedule since Friday. I went to Diguna and played football against a team of deaf students from a school near the Nazarene University, then went later to church for concert practice. I slept late, and woke up early Saturday to honour a breakfast invitation in Diguna. I left at 13:30pm and went straight to church. I got a lift from a Diguna missionary couple who had two kids on the back seats of their car. The younger child saw me enter the car and started crying, and didn't stop crying until I alighted from the car. I got to church on time, at 2pm as required but most people came for practise much later.
After practise, I joined a group of young people from our teens church who were on the way to visit a family that had lost their 12 year old girl. She had apparently committed suicide and we had the opportunity to visit with them and comfort them. I had been invited by one of my friends to dinner at his family apartment and we went there after comforting the grieving family.

I got home a few minutes after 21:00 and watched the news then watched a movie after I had prepared my clothes for today. I was up at 5:30am this morning to prepare for church and so the story goes on. I am supposed to go later to Diguna and to set up the satellite tv connection so that the regular visitors can watch the English premier league, but my body tells me that this is not going to happen.

I hope I can rest now because I am needed at band practise tomorrow at 11am in Diguna in preparation for the youth camps that start next week Friday. I will miss the first three days of camp because I am travelling to the Diguna station in Ngechek to participate in the Diguna Annual Sports Event. A lot to do, and God is involved in every stage and step. How wonderful to be busy, in His service.
