I GOT ACCEPTED TO THE MINISTRY SUPPORT TEAM FOR EMPOWER-A-CHILD! WHICH MEANS I GET TO GO TO AFRICA!
Which means it's real. It's happening. God wants me to go, and I'm going. Wow. The reality that this summer I will spend somewhere around two months in Uganda astounds me. Uganda. The beautiful red mud, rolling green valleys, gaping rivers and enormous lakes, village huts, busy cities, open markets, orphanages, hospitals, juvenile detention centers, baby's homes, and IDP camps that my heart yearns to see. The children that my heart breaks for, and that my arms reach out to embrace. The people whose harsh realities send shivers up my back and tears flowing down my face. I pray for these people everyday. People I haven't met yet, people I will meet, and people I may never meet. But I am going. My yes is on the table, and I will be there soon. My dear friends who I do not know yet, I yearn for your company, your stories, your words of wisdom, your tears, your struggles, our friendships. I excitedly search for the preparations being made by God to help me better serve His Kingdom, and the plans that He has for my time in Uganda. Though, this has been made a secret that I will soon discover in a few short months. All of this excites me to the point that I think my heart will burst in anxiety, excitement, wonder, and joy.
Oh Lord, you continue to bless me, and I am eternally grateful.
