Go before me. Prepare the way. Sometimes door to door ministry can be stressful. Sometimes the language barrier causes communication confusion. This is actually the case most of the time. Other times you get caught in the circle of excuses. I am catholic, my husband will beat me, it is not my time. All of these are disheartening reasons because from the outside you know what they need, what you want them so much to have, the experience that gets you through the day and the reason you get up in the morning. You want them to know and experience the goodness, the mercy and the never ending...

“We have to stop for fuel.” One short phrase that has been repeated numerous times the past month we’ve been in Uganda. It’s not unusual for the people here to run the car on empty until it decides it will go no further. It is actually a part of life here. If the car runs out of fuel, you just walk to buy some more then continue on your journey like it was supposed to happen. Now, because the people here have little to no money for fuel anyways, the car is constantly running on empty.  I’m by no means a mechanic but I do know it’s never a good idea...

So, there were a few days where my fire for God just flatlined. I asked God to break me. by asked I mean, spent all evening crying out to God, I begged, pleaded, demanded God to wreck my life. I wanted to be desperate for Him. I wanted to be beaming with love for Him. I wanted to be on fire for Him. Its like I’m standing on a chair with a noose around my neck. I asked God to kick the chair out from under my feet because I wanted to find myself standing on the solid rock of Christ. Struggling, I read a letter from Alex Willer who reminded me, even when I fail God, He wont fail...

Our time here in Uganda is almost up. We have moved around to 3 different locations in the last month. I’m just going to tell you a little bit about them all. We started in Tororo, then Kwapa, now we are in Malaba.   Our first 10 days we were in Tororo, Uganda. We stayed in a compound about 7 minutes from town. The kids we got to play with right outside our compound were amazing! I loved just going out there and playing games with them and singing songs with them! One little boy named Ivan always called me Obama because Obama’s wife is Michelle. Others here have called me...

Dear God, It is true. There are a lot of expectations that I need to remember that I surrendered. Even from really basic things like we might not go to every place I want to visit. We might do door to door everyday. We might not shower for weeks at a time, and we might get sick… all of these things I need to give to you. When I look outside I am so amazed that it has taken me two weeks to fully embrace the beauty of this country and God I know I am here, on this team, for a reason. Father I want big things to happen. I want mountains to move, I want to see demons cast out, I...

I wish I was an octopus because.. Then I would have 8 arms! That is what I need! These children are everywhere! You walk somewhere and there will be a child right behind you if not already holding your hand. Everywhere you go theses children will follow you. These children just want some attention and to feel loved. We love on them, but they may not even know what love is. They want to walk with you no matter where you are going they will follow you. They will run up to you and just grab your hand. If it’s hanging there and no one else is holding it guarantee in moments there will...
