Heartbeat

The long awaited cupcake sale took place last month.  It was thrilling to see what God did in the lives of everyone who was involved.  More about that later!

In the spring when my Father began writing a new chapter, the world I knew turned upside down, and life has been a never ending adventure since.  Little did I know what it is to be called to something so much greater...beautiful...than my human mind could ever imagine.  Along the way, He has been changing my heart, strengthening my character, asking me to take each step of faith, deepening my love for Uganda.

It is where my heart lies.

To be captured with a passion for a country I've never been to...for people I've never met is incredible.  It always leaves me with a sense of awe the I am a part of all this.  I feel honored and confounded all at once.

There is something from Sixty Feet I want to share that goes 

hand in hand with what God spoke to my heart recently.  Click below to watch a moving glimpse of this ministry.

In this clip, Pastor Ernest tells how the Lord spoke to his heart.  He said that SixtyFeet would be a powerful ministry, He would send people they had never met before to Uganda, to join them in the ministry.

While watching this a couple of weeks ago, the reality hit me that I am one of those very people God chose to captivate with an absolute zeal for the work that goes on in Uganda.

I looked at my mom with tears in my eyes, told her what I was feeling.  She came to me; we hugged.  It was in those moments my mom and I both knew without a doubt I would leave home someday to live out a period of my life in another part of the world.  She expressed that thought in her own words.  After that, Mom wrapped me in another embrace.  We were both crying, me especially.  I became quiet...still...as I started to listen to the rhythm of her heartbeat, right next to my ear.

I asked the Father, "Why?  Why did You choose me?"

He whispered back, "You hear your mother's heart beating?  These children need a mother."

My friends, Uganda is not too far away.
The day is close when I will step foot there in person...just to visit...for now.  Please pray for me as I raise funds to go there on a short term missions trip while waiting on the Lord's timing for it all.
