According to the weathermen, boda drivers and other Ugandans, rainy season is NOT here – it actually won’t come until April…..so explain to me all the rain as of late?
I am in love.
Not with people or situations or things or places.
With God. With the Creator. With His plan for my life…whatever it was, is and may be. I just love Him. His ways. His thoughts. Him.
I am moving in faith right now. Absolute faith. I believe I hear His voice speaking to me specifically. I am walking out in faith and testing it.
I thought I was already walking by faith…but currently it looks like ease…the right thing to do….what makes sense. However, it is beginning to look like faith. A faith I have never known before. A faith that tests my absolute fears and doubts. A faith that will make me lay my life down.
Please pray I get my passport.
Two prayers.
Two answers.
I know God will answer…in His way…in His timing.
One, what I am seeing, what is it that He wants me to do for Him, for His kingdom. What is the “what is next”. Where is the “where is next”. It might be the same, it might be different, it might be a mix. But I asked specifically for doors to open…and I heard a door creaking open today….waiting to see if the crack is big enough for me to fit through. ;)
Two, I don’t want to speak on behalf of the Holy Spirit – what He has shared with me. I want people to have it revealed to themselves. It is not fair for me to share what He has shared with on them without them ever hearing it themselves. I want…no I am begging…the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself so clearly that no one can deny His will for their lives. I am so confident the LORD will speak…I just pray a heart is opened, receptive and willing to listen and obey. Oh how I pray!!!
God will answer….it is cool – I FEEL confident in His Spirit of Truth to do the work He desires done. And I won’t have anything to do with it except to pray and worship.
Oh sweet Amen.
I am being more intentional of my timing and Sabbath. Took some good time with God, alone and in fellowship. Thoroughly feel refreshed, excited and filled with the Spirit….I mean, what else can explain excitement and giddiness for no other reason but being able to rest and be with my LORD.
LORD, I pray for the people of Uganda. I pray for peace. I pray for joy. I pray for protection. Light has been shining…please do not let Your light pass into darkness. Do not let loose Your grip on the people who for so long were in darkness and are just now learning what laughter sounds like, what smiling feels like and what love looks like. Protect them from ALL evil. Shield the Acholi with Your bountiful, obedient angels who will let no harm reach their shirt tails. Darkness has no power over this land. Your face is the only face to which we desire. The Acholi have been through so much, please do not let them relearn any of the past. Let the past be the past and the future a new testimony of Your faithfulness. Raise a new generation of teachable, loving and passionate hearts for Your kingdom.
LORD, let me leave and no harm come to them…whether it be a few months or years…I do not ever want to mourn for my people here. I can’t imagine my life without them much less knowing I can’t do anything for them so far away. I think, LORD, I would reach the most depressive state ever if I were to be home and something traumatic would happen here. Oh please, never let me part and not be able to love them. If You must keep me here for a long period of time – whether during peace or war – give me strength to ALWAYS love and bring the Gospel to them….to shine a Light…..to be Your hands and feet.
Let no one deny Your existence, Your love, when I am present before them. Let my face be Yours….unrecognizable except to You.
