The sun is shining, but that’s not the reason why a lot of people in The Vine are sweating ! They are getting ready for the 10K run this Sunday – June 6th. It’s all in a very good cause- various projects that we’re involved with over in Kenya - raising cash to buy packs of seeds for destitute widows to grow their own food in Kombewa , providing toilets and other basic equipment at a newly established school in Akala, and providing ongoing support for The Ark children’s home in Nairobi.
The run is a big challenge-most of the people taking part are a very long way from being any kind of athlete, but there’s a lot of willing hearts, wanting to rise to life’s challenges, and get on and make a difference. 2010 is already nearly half-way through! What have we achieved so far? Whether it’s attempting a 10k run, or something else that we’ve never got round to doing, let’s not miss our chances.
As I write this, I’m aware that , when we’re not feeling up to things, there’s a great promise in the Bible, that “ God is able , through his power at work in us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or imagine.” Wow! Let’s make sure we are connected with God, and see what he can do with our lives .
If you’d like to look up this verse, see Ephesians 3:20
