In the language spoke in Lira called Luo that means thank you very much. And right now as i sit in Kampala waiting to fly home tomorrow night thats all i can think to say to all of my supporters. The last night we were in Lira each one of us was asked to say something in front of everybody at our going away party. What i told them was that even if I may never come back to Lira, Uganda i will never ever forget this place. You know why? Cause God has changed me. There is no way I can go back to America the same. I told them that Lira Uganda is a spiritual marker for William Graham. There is no way I can choose anything over God anymore. Its simply not option. My Heavenly Father loves me to much to let me do my own thing anymore. I have found that i now in turn love my God so immensely that nothing else measures up. I have come to know a God that requires surrender every day to his will. A God that requires your attention to every detail of your life cause he is there. He is there in every detail I promise, you just have to be paying attention.
Why do i tell you this? Cause thats the God im bringing back. This is the God i have come to know very clearly. He doesnt play games. But its because he loves us so much. I feel so loved when he gets my attention cause i know he cares what happens to me and he is in my life. He doesnt forget bout me or, ever. And thank God for that.
Supporters you have been used by God to help me get to this point in my relationship with God and i cant thank you enough for that. Im sorry i havent blogged more but i hope you understand that in Lira the Internet can be very elusive. But also i hope the few that i have put out have helped you understand what ive been involved in and how God has used me. I want to remind everyone of the verse that has been really important to me on this trip. Galations 5:24-25. "Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed their sinful passions and desires to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirits leading in every part of our lives." Let us continually nail our passions and desires to his cross and get rid of them. When we continually do that now we can follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Not jus some but all. To this summer up, thats what God has asked me to do. Follow him in every part of my life.
To give you all a heads up on my schedule. We are having a going away party here in Kampala and then church tomorrow and we fly for Amsterdam Sunday night and arrive in America sometime on Monday evening i assume. Il be back in Louisiana on the 3rd. I look forward to sharing with my ABC fam Sunday night on the 7th. Like more than you know.
P.S. (Promised shoutouts) Hey Ange! Miss you! Oh and Denise! Keep it up in Oklahoma okay?
