| Cairo @Night |
The flight from Barcelona went very smoothly and the food was not that bad, I chose chicken and "jollof" rice over pasta and I don't-know-what.
I thought deeply of all the people who may have gone this way over the years and wondered what was on their minds as they went; What were their dreams and what was it that kept them going against all odds? Which Was it,gain or glory? For it is
hard for anyone to be driven without some strong personal convictions or motivation, if the truth is to be spoken.
I asked myself what my motivations were? WHAT IS YOUR DRIVING FORCE? I asked myself,and as our plane navigated a nasty turbulence that churned my bowel, my brain turned in reverse, searching the innermost part of my being for the reason behind my commitment to this cause especially in times like this one when I had every motive to relent.
1. In the joy of seeing a turnaround happen in the life of someone, say a child destined for ruins;Seeing how my little contribution have gone long ways to transform lives, in all the places that God in His mercies had led us to make a difference.
2.The ultimate glory of being clothed with immortal radiance with Christ and to hear Him say to me on that faithful day "WELCOME HOME MY SON! You have done well!" The thoughts of Christ saying WELL DONE to me, fills me with uncanny abilities and great energy.
Egypt:17/7/11
Arrive:-20:10
Departure :-22:03 we roll out from docking bay and taxied to the runway, the nice voice of the flight attendant says we have 4 hrs 40 to Nairobi.
the voice of the imam saying prayer before take off struck me with somber reflection on the importance of faith in our lives and how people of God often neglect the vital importance of being at peace with God, not just when you entrust your life in harms way but more so at all times. FLIGHING IS RISKY BUSINESS no matter what anyone says.
23:38 I repaire myself to the business of reading some article on Strategy and Church planting, I would have loved to sleep but that luxury simply eludes me at this moment. Pablo is listening to weird music playing on one of the channels while Abel, who sits behind us, is busy working very hard on making friends with his neighbor a handsome lady that looked very Dutch to me, honing his ability to converse with his limited knowledge of English language
02:22 @last I was able to sleep a wink but now I must fill out one of those forms you always wonder why they make you fill.
Now we brace for the bumpy flight down to the dark Nairobi Tarmac. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY
Nairobi: 18/7/11
Arrival:-touch down is @02:37 a very hard landing that squeezed a cry out of a bunch of people, the lady by me yelled something in a strange language, Pablo who was not paying attention was visibly shaken otherwise we are all in one good healthy piece .
Departure:-
