Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Howdy from Uganda. I have been so impressed by God this week by so many things. No matter what you feel like God has called you and compelled you to bring to a place like Uganda, God will give more back. It proves you can't out give God. No matter if it's health care, knowledge, or training the relationships that God allows to form and the love to be expressed is entirely from God.
It's neat to see the diversity of all the people on the team here. So many different backgrounds and so many talents and God uses them all for His glory. No gift is too small. No touch and no smile are small in the eyes of these people. That has really blown me away.
The coolest thing is, the fact that sometimes during the day you may think, "I'm just digging in the dirt" or "just painting a face" but you're not. You are apart of God's perfect plan. We get to be involved in His plan. A plan He ordained before the beginning of time. It matters. We may just be a tool in rusty shed but we can be used. That's humbling.
Today after the ladies group had finished their lessons, the interpreter had to leave for a short time. And she asked the class of women and said, "they (the team) has given something to you so you must give something back." So these women stood up and began to sing the most beautiful African worship songs and some even in English that we knew. They didn't have a lot to give but what they did have they gave freely. They gave us their praise to God and an opportunity to worship God on a mountainside in the middle of Uganda. I don't think I will ever forget that little girl singing to God in my mind.
