24 days to go...

Gordon shared Habakkuk 1:5 with me yesterday, and it bears repeating: "Look among the nations, and see: wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told." Wow! Can you imagine the Lord telling us that? It makes me want to raise my hand like a little child and beg, "Pick me! Pick me!" What an honor to be used by God to accomplish his incredible work in this world. On this Uganda trip, I want to believe the great things that God wants to work through us. If I could know, how much would it truly blow my mind? In a way, I'm overwhelmed to think that any part of God's plan hinges on me. I feel so inadequate! Of course, that's the part where I remember that it's not MY strength that allows me to follow God's call...it's HIS supernatural power!

Our crate arrived safely in Entebbe, Uganda (the capital city). Thank the Lord! Please pray it gets to KTC with all the contents in it!

I happened to ask someone last week, "How has been the day?" This is an expression my dad and I picked up when we were in Uganda, as this was the way Joab and others greeted us. It's kind of like, "Hey, how's it going today?" As soon as I said it, I was struck by the idea that soon, I will be surrounded by my friends in Uganda! Pretty soon, "How has been the day?" will be normal! We are on day #24 (if my math is correct), counting down to our departure. Please remember to keep us in your prayers!
