I'm homesick for a country I've never visited, missing people I've never met, and in love with a culture I've never experienced. From listening to stories, reading books, and looking at pictures of the country of Uganda and all those who live there one thing always comes to mind; these people are beautiful. And all I want is a chance to be able to love on them, that they might have a better understanding of Christ's love.
"I gave you a new Law. You are to love each other. You must love each other as I have loved you. If you love each other, all men will know you are My followers." John 13:34-35
Whether or not I get accepted to the fall mission trip to Uganda through AIM (Adventures In Missions) God has put this desire on my heart for a reason. I know where I am called, and I am ready to love. If He really wants me to go I expect Him to provide a way. Until that time I will continue to love those He puts in front of me and pray for those around the world. But I long for the day I get to hold those little hands, pray over His people, sit with the ill, and dance with the well. I can't wait until I get to say the word Nkwagala...I love you.
His Daughter,
