Life is rushing by

Wow. I feel like I am spinning in circles… back and forth to Kampala (a 4 hours distance one way) about 3 times in the past week and a half, and one more to go this Sunday. But God is faithful and good and restores my energy every day. I love the miracle of His new mercies every morning and how I truly can go to bed and wake up the next day with it being completely a new day.

So biggest news is that Janece has come and gone. I can’t believe the time is already up. It was so fun to have her here. I know that God is doing a lot in her and I am confident that He is working in my family. Praise Him for that. There has been nothing more exciting then having my first family member get the full experience of my life in Uganda. ON top of that, for her to (through the experience and relationships) really understand my heartbeat and reasoning behind why I love being here. God is so so faithful. I know we said that she would post more but we were really too busy having fun to do it. Sorry for lying. But I think she is planning to type up her thoughts and then I will post them so you can get a different perspective. IT was an awesome trip because she was able to experience every aspect of life here. From LCH to a church plant crusade and opening, to visiting Namatala (the slum area) and passing our sheets, to the busy streets of Kampala and shopping the black market area. Also seeing my local hang outs., staying in my room, and enjoying the beauty of Sissyi Falls. It was awesome. And the Aunties love her and love the bread that she taught them to make.

Also, new news is that my kindred spirit in the faith, Haley, has left. It was sad and there is already a lack without her here. She did awesome work at Covenant School and was such a sweet and fun sister to me. I am praying again and wondering who God will bring next (and how long their stay will be).

And, I have a group visiting me right now. They are doing a world race and came from India and are going to Brazil from here. In the past 5 days they have done a great work at painting some of the buildings and cleaning and re-lining the basketball court. It has been fun to see some familiar faces from TbarM though my time has greatly been divided because Janece was here and I took her back to the airport. But we are having fun and I have enjoyed some good games of farkle dice.

Hopefully tomorrow I will get to spend some time with Midland Bible Church (my sending church) who are also here right now. I don’t know why God planned for EVERYONE (that is part of a team) to be here the same 2 weeks (I have been here for 9 months with no visitors). But I know it will be a retrospect lesson.

Otherwise- I am a bit on autopilot with so many visitors. Mama and Pastor are awesome for handling tons of teams ALL summer long. God is teaching me about the power of the tongue, how it can bless and curse. I am praying for more awareness over that and the power of my Words in speaking scripture and true. The Bible does say, I believe, therefore I speak and powerful things happened. SO, I love that I will forever be a learner in the Lord.

I hope you are well. Thanks for reading and praying.
