It's official. I'm headed back to Uganda.
Many of you know my heart for this nation and especially the orphans, and following God's leading, I'm going back.
While some things are still up in the air, I can tell you my plans (even though I am prepared for God to change my plans at any and every moment.)
I plan to head to Uganda toward the end of July and stay there for 5 months, until the middle of December. I am going to work with Sanyu Babies Home in Kampala for the majority of my stay. They house 50 precious babies under the age of 2. I plan to help them with some administrative stuff and some web design, but mostly, just love on those babies.
You may ask... Where's the money coming from? The answer is: I don't know where the $7000 may be coming from. But if this is what God has called me to, He can most certainly spare $7000.
What will I do when I get back? I have no idea. I hope God completely wrecks my thoughts and plans and completely replaces them with His unimaginable will.
I know these months will probably be some of the hardest of my life, but I never planned to play it safe or to fit into a cookie cutter mold of a Christian. When I told Him I was willing to do anything, I meant it. When I told Him I wanted to something so big it's destined to fail without Him, He took the challenge.
I covet your prayers as I enter this season of life, for direction, for funds, and for reckless abandon for Him.
until all have heard,
