Broken and Trusting

Lately all conversations within my household have been focused on the ebola threat in Uganda. My mom's kind of freaking out, which I can kind of understand with the whole "mom" thing and all. ;) But this whole epidemic has only spurred my love and desire to go to Uganda. Which really doesn't make much sense, people are dying due to an unknown disease with no cure..great LET'S GO! haha My first reaction was that isn't this when they would need our help more than ever?
My heart aches for Uganda, and I can't explain it. This beautiful country and their beautiful people have gone through pain that I cannot even begin to imagine. So much brokeness. So much hurt. They were finally on the mend, and now this? I know that they have had ebola threats in the past, but it just seems like one more thing they have to deal with. I don't understand what God is doing, but I know that He is good.
Whether I remain in the states or cross the Atlantic I trust that God will use me in Africa, if I'm praying at home or playing soccer with Ugandans He will use me. I've been asking God to grow my faith..I guess this is Him doing that? Anyways, through all of this my heart will sing no other name. :) God is SO good!

Uganda Update

Just thought I would give everyone the update on my Uganda trip. :)

~A lot of people have been asking about the Ebola threat (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19048998) I have not heard from AIM as to whether or not this will effect our trip to Uganda..so in the mean time I will continue to fundraise and prepare. Please be praying for the health and safety of all those in Uganda.

~Right now I have currently fundraised $4,020.55 meaning I have $1,429.45 to go.
**I have two weeks left to fundraise (August 13th deadline)..if you are going to send in any checks please do so ASAP (they take about two weeks to process)! Online donations need to be made 3 days before the deadline so they have time to process as well.

~Fundraising: Right now I'm selling tshirts through fundthenation. They are $15 apiece, sizes S-XXL. Let me know ASAP if you would like one:) P.S. Shirts need to be bought through me.
