A New Man

Before I start this post, I want to thank a ladies group in Texas that regularly follows my blog and prays for me. I heard this week from Olivia what you all have been doing for me and for Olivia and I just want you to know how thankful and appreciative I am for you. And that thanks just doesn't go to those ladies, but to all of you who read this and follow me. Those prayers have definitely gotten me through this far and will continue to carry me through this journey.

So the title of this blog is a "A New Man" and if you saw me Friday night and then saw me right now you would understand why. Yesterday I was running a little late for Kicker's Clinic and completely forgot to take my sunscreen with me. Normally if I forget on Saturday to take my cream, I'll get a little red. But yesterday, I was in the sun from 8am to 8pm and did I learn my lesson. I am bronze as anything and have a very nice v-neck tan line. Apart from the burns, yesterday was a very encouraging day. Kicker's had some really amazing displays of brilliance as two eleven year olds left me stunned as they completely took over a scrimmage and played like a professional. I've never seen a player at such a young age that even compares to their ability. I then went from Kicker's to playing in my first semi professional football game. It was fun to get back in a uniform and just play the game I love. I did get a yellow card for apparently making three hard tackles, but it was interesting to experience Kenyan refereeing first hand and how they want to be part of them game, which is every player and coaches nightmare.

This week for Petra, we had two more players come to know Christ and I'm pretty sure that one more is on the verge. It has just been amazing and a privilege to see what God is doing in those boys.

I also had a meeting with the president of Nairobi City Stars and he and I have been and will continue to pray about the length of my commitment to the organization. There are several projects that the organization is working on and they would like more people with the same passion and dream to jump on board and help them with these goals.

So that is what has happened this week. Things are getting easier as far as my routine and schedule go. But please keep me in your prayers that God would continue to give me the strength that I need for each day. Have a great Sabbath and until next time, badi.
