Sometimes God blesses me in the most interesting ways; I feel his presence in the pouring rain, dancing around in worship with my team, laughing with our new-found Ugandan friends, singing for and playing with orphan children, teaching English to high school boys…God knows my heart so well! Everyday he provides me with a new and incredible joy.
We officially started our ministry on the 4th. We are working at the Makobore all boys high school where we play sports, teach, clean, and just hang out with them. The beauty of our ministry is that we have no guidelines; we decide what projects we want to tackle, like painting a mural or building a basketball court.
The fact that God's love radiates around my team everywhere we go provides me with so much confidence that we are doing something right. I have been opening up so much to the work of Holy Spirit; worshiping fully without holding anything back has shown me what true freedom is. Dancing around with kids while singing "This Little Light of Mine" brings a hope that is contagious to others we come into contact with.
These past few weeks I have been learning how to walk in freedom without fear of the world. I know that God has so much in store for me and I will not miss out. I could get used to looking into the eyes of the children here and watching them laugh hysterically while I'm tickling them in the middle of church. My heart is breaking for this country, so much beauty explodes from this place and I can not wait to see even more of His glory spread!
