Preparing my heart and mind is what I am working on for the next 5 days. How? I am focusing, as completely as I can, on serving others.
Why do I feel called to Uganda? Grace….God has graciously chosen me to go, so graciously and willingly I go. The first time I went to Uganda the people, their kindness, and their love of Jesus amidst all the hard times captured my mind and my heart. I loved everything about Uganda. I get to experience grace, mercy, peace and love.
I will respond rather than react, especially during the difficult times (if it rains too much, if I don’t sleep well – I don’t usually have this problem, if there are a lot of bug bites, whatever obstacles I face)….I hold on to the fact that this is where God has called me to be and that I have a purpose in my heart.
My prayer for this trip is that the Lord will increase and enrich my faith. That God will walk beside me in the Ugandan communities with the right frame of mind. I pray that I will be able to embrace their everyday life asking what their greatest needs are – physical, spiritual or both. Eyes to see, ears to hear and hands to help wherever I am needed.
