Journey begins in 2 days

Hello my friends,

I have to say that I am still awestruck that God even wants me to go over to Uganda to minister to these orphans. I mean look at me! I am just a natural born sinner. I am a finite being that screws up many times. I am a small human being that thinks about himself even before he thinks about others. That my friends is what we would call being selfish. I tend to be argumentative. My parents made me realize that I am what is known as stubborn. I can be prideful at times. I can go on and on and on and on. However, if I was to go and name every flaw that is within me and list every horrible thing I have done or said I think that everyone would get hit right in between the eyes. I also think that for the people reading this would feel guilty because I would have listed or said some things you struggled with or still struggle with. All I know is that I am nothing without Christ. If I did not have Christ, then I would be nothing. My whole entire life would amount to nothing. I would just be living the empty, everyday normal life and to be honest I do not want to live that way. I want to live like a revolutionary would and shine for my Abba Father's glory. And my friends that is why I am still awestruck as to why God would allow me to go over to Uganda. I can tell you that it is by His grace that He has opened a door for me to part on this incredible journey. Words are just not enough to describe how I feel right now! In two days I will be heading to Jinja, Uganda with Chad (the guy I'm going with) and cannot wait to see what God and the Holy Spirit is already doing in Uganda, especially at Good Shepherds Fold Orphanage. I do not want to be a typical American and try to bring everything from my American culture and try to immerse it in their culture, especially my denomination. I think so many of us Christ Followers from America think that we are the only Christ Followers in the world. And no we are not superior to our brothers and sisters in Christ in others countries. And if you think that I pray that God would break your heart and convict you, right now! We are called to go and serve them. We are called to go and make them disciples. It does not say that we are called to go and make them Southern Baptist, or Pentecostal, or Methodist, etc.. (you get the picture) Okay friends I will try to update as often as I can and I just found out from Chad that GSF only has power for 12 hours daily. So my time will probably be limited. And I am sure to take lots of pictures. Take care my dear friends. Ya'll are in my thoughts. Take care and I pray that God does a "WoW" in your life! Ciao!
