"When the dream of our heart is one that God has planted there, 

a strange happiness flows into us.  At that moment, all of the spiritual resources of the universe are released to help us.  

Our praying is then at one with the will of God and becomes a channel for the Creator's purpose for us and our world. 

- Catherine Marshall

gracious.

"But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness."

-Psalm 86:15

Baby "Gracious" is adorable.  

He lives next door to my love, Jimmy!  

my new Jaja.

Widowed.  Paralyzed.  Alone.  

She has outlived her 8 children and served for 18 months in a Ugandan prison - wrongly accused of cooking for rebel forces...

Jaja Kev is my new self-proclaimed grandmother.  She is one of the strongest women I know and calling her "Jaja" is a blessing that words can't describe. 

Her legs may not work, but her fingers can double-tap an iPhone with the best of em! =)

Laughter needs no translation!

"the world is passing away along with its desires, 
but whoever does the will of God abides forever."
1John 2:17

Nile High.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.  

So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, 

catch the trade winds in your sails. 

Explore.  Dream.  Discover.

- Mark Twain

I am absolutely loving leading this group of interns.  No caption needed for this pic from today.  Obviously, it is Saturday (aka: Chicken Killing Day here in Uganda).

three strands.

A theme verse for us in Uganda can be been found in Ecclesiastes 4:12:

"And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him.  

A cord of three strands is not easily broken."

Serving alongside these women in Uganda has been the biggest blessing.  

I have been challenged, stretched and strengthened in my faith by each of you.  

Thank you for being my cord. 

strength.

"...do not be grieved, for the joy of LORD is your STRENGTH."

We spent the day in the Village today - 

sharing God's word and loving on our families! 

wonder.

"On the glorious splendor of your majesty, 

and on your wondrous works, I will mediate."

-Psalm 145:5

I spent the day in Kabalagala with Interns from House 3.  

I love this place, it has my heart.
