Hmmmmmm
Last few weeks has been mentally tiring but thank GOD the work that I do keeps me going. It is always an encouraging thing to have conversations that point to GOD. In a few days I am flying back home . . I am gonna be home for Christmas after hmm think 4 years. Till last week nothing was planned but now Hmm I am actually going home.
Last week when I was in London I was in a conversation with one of my good friends and we were walking thru my life how things have changed and where I am today. Finally when we finished the only thing I was confident was I have hope in Christ for a future and sadly this friend of mine still hadn’t got it. He had more fears in Life than little hope. He quietly silenced himself by saying good you have but I never will. Sometimes there is that inner feeling that you want people to know GOD through a single conversation it was one of those moments I had while talking to him. But GOD's timing is not ours. Have known him for a few years now and I know a time will come when we will rejoice at him have come to know Christ. For me Christmas has always been about hope..
I have in a sense missed the Christmas activities back home.. Evangelistic music concerts, carol singing till 4 am, visiting family, planning trips with guys, staying in a coffee shop till late night after practise.. hmmm . . I know this time I will be meeting people that I have not met for 4 or more years now , friends who took different paths . . . I know everyone has moved on. But it will be nice to see how it feels to meet someone after so long and catch and talk as thought it was only yesterday we met. I have already decided where all I want to go and eat while I am there, what to ask my mum to prepare when I am there.. apart from other responsibilities that I shoulder whilst my stay there..
I know I will be asked a lot of questions some for which I wont have answers now, I will be questioned for what I have stood for and I know some will understand and some wont. But above all it is time with my Mum and Dad that I am looking forward too.. we have travelled a long distance and my folks have sacrificed a lot of simple pleasures for me to be where I am . . and also hoping to visit my uncle and Aunty and spend some time with them. Funny how in on of my previous post I had mentioned that I'd wish I could do peek into their life’s for a minute and see that they are ok .. and now I actually get to go and see them . . .
In a few more days . . I will be home for Christmas.. cant wait to see the surprised look on my folks face . . ah . . . something’s never change . .
