Life has been a whirlwind these past few weeks; ever since our debrief in Jinja, our time here seems to fly by at a faster pace every day. The thought "we only have three weeks left" pops into my mind unexpectantly everyday and I begin to feel the urge to push 100% of myself into my ministry. I realize more and more how great of friendships I have made with the boys of Makabore High School. It is strange to think that soon I wont be hanging out with them everyday. At 7:30 I wont be leading devotions with them. At 1:00 I wont be sneaking away from eating lunch with the staff to eat lunch with the boys. I wont be playing volley ball with the competitive boys at 5:00. I wont make random trips to a town 6 hours away to support the Makabore futball team in quarter finals. Life is a whirlwind…
"For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs." -Zephaniah 3:17
I know that my God is always with me, giving me peace, love, hope, and life; he is even singing over me. The fact that I get to share that love that God gives to a mass of Ugandan high school boys amazes me. I have been given a privilege that I didn't even know I asked for, yet it's something I am so incredibly thankful for. God is crazy! Even today, I spent my time at church passing notes back and forth with one of the boys named Jeremiah. The notes consisted of bible verses and encouraging words; he even started calling me Aunti.
I am overly excited to finish out this trip with all of my effort! God is working in Rukungiri, Uganda.
