I had plans for the new year to be a part of the ministry in church, God had other plans. Turns out I had a bad infection and spent a few days getting treatment at a hospital in Kampala. The Lord is good though because my friend Molly and her husband took great care of me.
Yesterday we went with the ministry “Pearls of Uganda” (associated with Church by the Sea in Florida) to the slums of Kunogoga (means cold place) and gave food and prayed and ministered to the young women and girls there. It really was the perfect way to start the year!
Jer. 29:11-14 – There are our plans and there are God’s infinite broad amazing beyond comprehension plans. God wants to give us an expected end. I think we make our plans and goals (especially at New Year) but we fail to see that God has an expected end. So, this year, he didn’t let me make my goals and plans. He made me sit still. I have a strong idea about where things are headed but no detailed map and it’s an awesome spiritual place to be in.
Today there are 5 young men who live in a room here on the compound and they come and study bible school every day, I know that will continue. They are really growing so much. There has been some money to come in to do more work on completing phase 1 of Bible school, so yay. And on a personal note, God has sent the materials so the B.A. degree can be done in time to graduate in May.
There are challenges ahead, and with God all things are possible, because this journey has an expected end as a member of His family and life eternal.
I look forward to what lies ahead!
