Three years ago, if you had asked me how life was, I would have said, "It's great! I've got a good paying job that I love, I own my home, I have a cat who likes to snuggle, I have the best family ever, my friends are amazing, and I attend the best church ever!" I was firmly settled into adulthood and loving it! Today, all those things still remain true but, God has shaken up my life up and its not so settled anymore...LOL! This shake up really started when I changed churches and got connected with the missions community at Bridgeway Christian Church in Rocklin, CA (my new best church ever!!!). When I was a teenager, I went on missions trip to Malawi, Africa and fell in love with Africa. My dream was always to go back to Africa someday in a medical capacity but, timing was never right. When I got to Bridgeway, I heard a lot about Uganda and long story short, my dream finally came true! I went to Uganda for the first time in December of 2012 with Bridgeway, then again in July of 2013 and July of 2014. Needless to say, I fell in love with the people and the place! Leaving Uganda after the last trip was utterly heartbreaking! I had no idea when I would be back again. God began to stir in my heart the idea of going back to Uganda and staying for a longer period of time than 2 weeks. I prayed and talked and prayed and talked and prayed some more! I really felt like God was asking me to completely unsettle myself and follow His call back to Uganda for a period of 3-6 months! So...I'm taking a giant leap of faith! I'm going to Uganda for 8 months!!
That's what this blog is about, my adventures in Uganda. The journey to get there, the time spent there and coming home again. Even if no one but my mom ever reads this, I'm okay with that! LOL! This is all for His glory!
62 days...10 hours...44 minutes...and 22 seconds...until I leave for the place that has captured my heart!
