Progress

Lenora Gauthier journal: Progress

Sometimes progress is very fast and sometimes very slow. But, progress IS progress. Construction on the dorm continues, right now we are putting in the ceiling of one side of the dorms, next will be the doors and windows of two rooms and one main entrance door. Then the doors, and windows to the main office, doors to the lecture hall, kitchen, water tanks, windows in the lecture hall, and then construction of the house can begin. Sounds like a lot but nothing is too big for God. We will still need to add the permanent floors in the lecture hall and dorms, but that can come little by little. Then we can tackle furniture – beds, chairs, desks, tables, storage cabinets etc. Plus there is the non-profit, we spend about $600- $900 every year on renewal and fees.

But before all that, there is the ministry it’s self which takes up most of the monthly money coming in. Sometimes, it all seems overwhelming, but this isn’t my ministry, it’s God’s ministry and He is the provider so I have faith. When I started living here in Uganda, I lived on $100 a month. I was naive and free actually. Now there is significantly more funds and significantly more responsibility. Still we need more, lol. Funny how that works.

I suppose this is what was on my mind today. Thanks for reading, and praying for me
