It's Just the Beginning...

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my blog! My goal in starting this blog is to increase awareness of those suffering around the world. In July 2011, I traveled to Uganda, Africa, for a five week missions trip. This was the most incredible time of my life. I saw God working in the lives of the poor and the sick, widows and orphans, and I saw these beautiful people rejoice in Him for their life. This is where the title of this blog comes in: Mukama Ye Bazibwe. It means "Praise the Lord" in Luganda (one of the main languages spoken in Uganda). Whenever I came into the homes of the Ugandans, they would say this to  me; Praise the Lord! They are joyful in their circumstances and they trust in God's providence and they know that He will always provide for them.

One thing that I have learned  is that sometimes God will use people to help those in need. So why would he not use you and me? I hope that you will see what's happening around the world and you will hear God's voice calling you to do something about it. I found a quote one day while browsing the internet: "You must be the change you want to see in the world". Changes need to be made in the world, and with God, we will be able to make these changes happen. Let's make a difference!
