The title of this blog has been one of my biggest prayers while being in Lira…needless to say, God answers prayers.
As I was riding in our van on the way to a primary school I was looking out the window at the people walking by and the children running, most of them dressed in clothes that were either covered completely in mud or torn so badly that they can barely stay on their backs, or a mixture of the two.
I found my heart completely broken and crying out to God but at the same time I had this desire to take them all and buy them new clothes. As I was praying I had this vision that all the women and little girls were wearing the most beautiful dresses and the men and boys were in suits and in that very moment I almost audibly heard the Lord say to me "Caycie, these people are sons and daughters of the most high king, they just need someone to tell them that I want to dance with them".
What more could I want for these people than for them to dance with my Jesus and be forever changed?
My Jesus has each and every one of these precious people in the palm of His hand, my job here is to simply show and tell them of His love, grace, and faithfulness.
I am so overwhelmed by the hand of God over this trip and over my life. It's been incredible and it has also been really challenging at times but I have never experienced the Lord more clearly than I have in this past month and I cant wait to see what more He has to show me and challenge me with!
Let them praise His name with dancing…
