Sidy Nduta

WHEN I WALKED THROUGH THE DOORS OF LIFESPRING CHAPEL SYOKIMAU IN 2017, ONE OF THE WARMEST PEOPLE I MET WAS SIDI NDUTA. CALM AND VERY WELCOMING. I QUICKLY NOTICED HER LOVE FOR SERVING OTHERS. AFTER THE SERVICE, YOU FOUND YOURSELF WITH A CUP OF TEA FROM SIDI WHO GAVE IT WITH A SMILE. YES, WE SERVE TEA AFTER THE SERVICE SO YOU’RE WELCOME BECAUSE SIDI’S HOSPITALITY LEGACY LIVES ON. SIDI LOVED BEING IN FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHERS AS IS EVIDENT WITH THE STORIES OF IMPACT ON MANY. MANY TIMES DURING THE SUNDAY SERVICE, SHE WOULD GIVE A SHOUT IN RESPONSE TO THE MUSIC. YES, SHE LOVED SINGING AND LEADING WORSHIP AS WELL. SHE WAS TORN BETWEEN HOSPITALITY AND OTHER ROLES. MANY TIMES WE HAD NEED FOR A HELPING HAND IN SUNDAY SCHOOL. SIDI NEVER COMPLAINED BUT TOOK UP THE CHALLENGE BECAUSE AGAIN, SHE LOVED PEOPLE. CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE AND EVERYONE ALIKE. SHE WAS VERY ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE SOULFIRE SINGLES FELLOWSHIP. INDEED SHE WAS A SOUL ON FIRE. SHE GAVE HER TIME FOR OTHERS AND MAYBE SHE FORGOT ABOUT HER OWN NEEDS. SHE PUT OTHERS BEFORE HER. WE ALL MISS HER. WE WISH WE HAD SPENT MORE TIME WITH HER. CALLED HER MORE. VISITED WITH HER MORE. I WISH WE WERE NOT HERE TODAY, BUT THEN, THE TRUTH IS OTHERS WILL ONE DAY GATHER IN OUR NAME. THE QUESTION IS, WHAT WOULD WE DESIRE OTHERS TO SAY ABOUT US? WHILE WE STILL HAVE TIME, INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYTHING, MAKE THAT CALL, MAKE THAT VISIT, WITHOUT POSTPONING IT BECAUSE YOU JUST NEVER KNOW. FORGIVE AND LET GO. LET LOVE GUIDE YOU LIKE IT DID SIDI. SHE IS A BEACON OF HOPE. SIDI WILL NEVER BE BOTHERED BY TAXES AGAIN. SHE’S LIVING LARGE AS WE SPEAK. LET’S PICK UP FROM WHERE SHE HAS FINISHED HER RACE AND BE FAITHFUL WITH OUR SHARE OF RELATIONSHIPS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. SIDI LOVES THE ALMIGHTY GOD AS HER LORD AND SAVIOUR. MAKE THAT PERSONAL DECISION AS WELL. TO FAMILY, FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES. I PRAY THAT THE MEMORIES WE HOLD WILL BE OF SIDI’S BEAUTIFUL SOUL. MAY GOD BRING HEALING AND FILL THAT VOID AS THE TEARS FLOW. LET’S FIND STRENGTH AND COMFORT AS WE GIVE THE SAME BEYOND HIS SEASON. FIND TIME. MAKE TIME. BEFORE IT RUNS OUT. FARE THEE WELL SIDI. WE LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR POINTING US TO GOD WHO LOVES YOU MORE AND HAS CALLED YOU BACK TO HIMSELF WHERE WE PRAY AND HOPE TO MEET YOU AGAIN.
