So, here goes. This is my first post as I begin my journey to Uganda. 6 days and counting until I fly out on Tuesday, Jan 13. (For those of you who don't know... I will be in Africa Jan 13-May 30 ministering to children in Uganda. More details on that in a later post) I don't know if I will be very good at this, but I will try my best to share my heart here and all that the Lord is doing.
Tonight, as I lay awake yet another night with lists, "to-do's," and worries running through my head....I remind myself how Sufficient God is. He is the Alpha and Omega. Beginning and End. He is Wisdom, Power, Love, Peace, Joy, Sustainer, Guider, and Protector. Why do I fret? Why is my biggest fear that I am not adequate? Ofcourse I am not! It is He ,who is in me, that is Adequate. And that Rock is what I can stand on.
The nerves are running high as I try to figure out how to pack 4 1/2 months into 2 bags and prepare to minister in a culture that will be foreign to me......and knowing that this journey will be without my family and friends who are such a huge part of who I am and the ministries I have been a part of. I have decided that you guys spoiled me!!! To be able to share my life and ministry with people whose hearts are so bound together in the same direction. A blessing!
I am so thankful that God has already gone before me on the trip and paved my way. Through all the nerves, I know in my heart that my God is Soveriegn. He is ready to meet me each step of the way as He lights the steps I will take.
So, to you guys reading. Know that I love you each very much. You are a huge part of my life and a huge part of this ministry in Kampala. I am thankful for your partnership, and I know that there are so many blessings in store for all of us!! This is the Lord's ministry and I feel so honored to be with you on this journey.
Now, let's all stop worrying and take a moment to get on our knees and thank Jesus for all that will happen in each of our lives over the next 5 months. I am daily praying for you, your relationships, and your ministries, and keeping you close in my heart!

It's so good to finally be in touch with you again, my dear sweet friend. I will definately be praying for you these next few months. I pray that The Lord will continue to bless your life, that he will show you new and more intimate ways to Glorify and to praise HIM, and that your life and your perspective/outlook on life will be dramatically changed forever. I pray all this and more for you and your teammates. Love you, B.
