A Journey to Remember

As I sit in a hotel room in Ethiopia on a 26 hour layover, after being woken yesterday morning to an urgent message to get to Entebbe airport in Uganda, as soon as possible, because they were shutting the airport at midnight, I am learning to trust God with everything. Did I have negative thoughts yes, but I didn’t dwell on the negatives. I kept believing that God brought us here and he will bring us home. And reminding God that I am trusting Him in all of our movements. We don’t ever know God’s plan, but when he lives in your heart you can learn to hear his voice and trust. We need to never stop learning and never stop growing in our faith.

I think life is simpler and more peaceful when I tell God I don’t want to live on my own. When I don’t know what to do, I want to trust Him. When I don’t understand why, I will do what I can with His help and, I’ll trust Him to do the rest.

This mission trip has been a time of slowing down, listening to people’s stories, the gospel becoming more real and learning to trust. I’m thankful for everyone who has been praying for us, at home, in Uganda and in different parts of the world. I feel blessed again and again ❤️
