Monday at BOC
It’s Monday at Bishop Okullu College. I worked till about 4:30 and then called it a day. And a great day it was. While I worked on the Internet connection and server / client configurations, Bon finished all of the wiring. I tested out both routers; Airtel’s and Safaricom’s. Safaricom won the 3G throughput test at about 10 MBit download speed, which is fantastic considering where we are located. Internet is nice a fast on the clients and we have the Airtel router to use as a backup, just in case. Tomorrow will be documentation and training day. I think Bon is going to learn it pretty quickly from what I gathered so far about his understanding of computer networks.
Right now I’m just sitting back looking out over the college compound and absolutely amazed and grateful for how everything has worked out so far. You never know completely what challenges you might face when planning for and working on a project like this. There really are so many things that can go wrong. But I know that with God, all things are possible. It’s really true. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and remind myself of where I am and even more how I got here. I mean that both physically and spiritually. It’s a great place to be in.. In the middle of what the Lord is doing. Eph 2:10 says it all for me.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
I can’t fully describe what it is like to be in that place. But I can say that it’s a place with an ample measure of joy and peace. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a little difficult to get on the plane back home. If not for Cathy and the rest of our family, I’d probably find some way to stay a bit longer.
