Great Expectations

In four days I will be leaving for my second trip to Uganda. This year is so different from last year. I don't understand it but I'm more anxious this year than last year. (A good anxious though.) Maybe it's because I know what I'm going into and I'm just so ready to get back to it. I also feel like this is very different…..spiritually. I know that my experiences will be very different from last year. I have a few things that I want to take care of for Refuge so I'm going to work while I'm there. But spiritually, this trip is on a whole other level. God has been calling me to prayer for the children, Bishop and his family, the orphanage, and the people of Uganda more and more as we approach the day to leave. I know there is a special calling on this trip---God's going to show up in a mighty way! I feel like we not only have a physical mission, but that this trip's focus is more on a spiritual mission. Please pray for us while we are there. I believe that God is going to do miraculous things but pray that doors will open and that the people will receive a special blessing.

I will be blogging during the trip. I don't know what the internet access will be like. We will be at the orphanage for 6 days this year instead of 4 like last year so I may be without communication for a while. But I will blog and post as soon as I get Internet access.

Love you guys!

DO NOT LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

Lord, use me. A prayer I've prayed a million times. But lately I've been doing some soul searching, or rather God has been telling me about myself. (Don't you love when he does that.) I've always wanted to be used by God greatly. I've said that I've surrendered all, sang the song a million times, and just turn around to pick up all the junk I've laid on the alter for the 15th time that month and try to figure out this "surrendered" life I'm supposed to lead. I've tried to map out how he can use me, where he can use me, and what he will have me doing. Well let me just tell you folks, my head has been stuck in the sand for many years. Now don't get me wrong, I've always wanted what God wanted for me and although I've put up a fight for a few things, I usually give in, hang my head like a little girl, and say "You were right all along and I should have listened the first time." Why do us girls always try to figu...

For those "In the Waiting"

Matthew 6:25-34 I've always read this chapter thinking that God doesn't want me to worry about material things. But today I read it a bit differently. He will provide my EVERY need, my heart's desire, He will stay true to His promises BUT He may have you wait! It will sometimes lead to what I like to call as Holy Frustration. Knowing that the waiting is part of His will for your life, but still, because we're human, leads to us being impatient at times and getting frustrated at His timing. BUT GOD ALWAYS COMES THROUGH! This is my testimony. My family. My husband and my children. I call them my miracles from God. God had me wait for all of it. But it was so worth it. You see, I didn't get married in my 20's like all my other friends. And let me tell you, the waiting was hard. It was trying, it was lonely, and it was exactly what I needed, but didn't want. In the waiting, He taught me so much: His love fo...
