DO IT FOR CHRIST. This was the theme at the recently concluded Diguna Annual Sports Event held at the Diguna Ngechek station. We had a great time there playing football and volleyball and participating in the 12 kilometre cross-country run. I must admit that no one from our delegation participated in the cross-country run but this was because there would not have been much point anyway. Those guys live, talk and breathe athletics and the 12 kilometres seemed like 12 metres to them. We won the football tournament, a feat we last achieved in 2007 on the same grounds. We placed fourth in the volleyball tournament but the best player in volleyball came from our team in the person of one Gottfried.
Upon return to Mbagathi, we came straight into an ongoing youth camp that begun on Friday last week and is scheduled to run until this Friday night, followed by departure on Saturday to their respective mission destinations. Yet another camp begins on Sunday evening and we expect more campers for that particular camp.
The Shelter Album concert is scheduled as earlier announced for this coming Sunday at 3pm at my local church. I must admit that I am getting more and more butterflies in my stomach as the day approaches but I am sure God will show up and show off.
In the meantime, I am on a journey back to the first love, having gradually drifted farther and farther away from God. I sense that the closeness I once enjoyed with Him is not so present any more. I fear I may have reached the point of being too busy for the one whom I should busy myself with the most. Tonight I sing at the youth camp and the songs I have selected have much to do with a lukewarm relationship with God. I trust that as I briefly share my testimony and the two songs I have selected, those present will have an opportunity to reflect on their lives and make a conscious and willing decision to return to their first love. What about you, anything you need to sort out with God?
