Day 5
Mbarara, Uganda
Lord you are mighty, you capture my heart time and time again. The moment I first heard your name I fell deeply in love with you.
Reflect on these words as I have, for the Lord is mighty.
Where do I begin… The Lord has truly shown up here in Mbarara. His grace and mercy has never been more evident. I woke several times this weak in prayer, waring for his people. The Lord has chosen Africa to do great things, these people cry out and desperately seek to know him. Being here, you cant help but reflect on your own personal walk with Christ and the depth of your love for him. Iv seen the sick, the poor, the broken, and despite their circumstances they still cry out to God with thanks. My walk grows stronger each day and I find myself crying out to him with thanks, even for the things he has yet to do.
Coming to Africa I did not know what to expect, I prayed for the strength to help get me through times of brokenness and yet I find myself crying out to God to break me, to strip me of myself, to capture me with presence, and to take me to places I do not recognize myself and the Lord has done just that. He has broken me in such a way that my brokenness brings me strength and I want more.
Break my heart for what breaks yours!
Friends and family, I challenge you to a game of thanks, to give God thanks not just for your things but for the clean air that you breathe and the ability to have access to Christ which and whenever you desire. Thank him for your family, for the love you get to receive by them daily if desired and sometimes just be grateful to sit in his presence.
I love you all, come to Lord with thanks and love him for the things he has done and going to do.
