Waiting To Go Back


Praise God for new life!
 
I have been back in America for exactly 8 weeks today (not that I’m counting).

I have loved every second that I have spent with my family.

Staying up late making puzzles and playing games with my mom.

Working with my dad.

Running around with my little brother and sisters. Holding my first nephew, my sister’s son, just a few minutes after he was born.

I love my family.

But my heart aches for Uganda.
Uganda is my home.
I know this is where God has put me.

I have been spending the past 8 weeks spreading the word about what I am doing in Uganda.

This is mainly a fundraising trip.

I am raising money so that I can continue my work and hopefully reach out to people in different ways.

Speaking about my trip has often moved me to tears.

I miss the boys that I work with so much.

I can’t wait to get back to them.

I can’t wait to love on them.

These are my boys, and I can’t wait to get back to them.

Please be praying for me while I am in the states for the next few weeks.

Pray that the funds come in for my return trip.

Pray for the boys as we are apart and that they will be protected and taken care of.

Most of all, pray that they would know and love Jesus!
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas as we remember the birth of our Savior!
