Almost Home - Uganda 2015

 Our hearts are full, our pockets are empty, and we are headed home.

Our feet are forever stained red, and our minds are busy processing all the sights and smells that have become so familiar.

We have had very meaningful experiences and cinched tight some old and some new relationships.

We have learned a whole new level of patience and waiting.

We have enjoyed worship and fellowship ABUNDANTLY.

We have laughed hard and shed tears.

We are homesick for our friends and family at home, and we are heart sick for those we are leaving again.

4 ½ years ago was the first time Charlie and Lashae went to Uganda.
That was the trip that opened our family’s eyes and hearts to the people and the country of Uganda. 

The Lord was so gracious on this trip to just allow us to see fruit from all the trips and prayers and people we have been allowed to know and love in the last 4 ½ years.
  Every day was just more BLESSINGS of how the Lord could use our efforts  for HIS GLORY.  Every time we have gone it feels like we have not been able to accomplish enough, but what I came to realize is that it doesn't matter, because it is not about us and if we just “show up” and walk in obedience God can use it and grow it and make even the smallest of efforts, bear fruit.
 He is good and faithful!!!!

1 Corinthians 3:7-9English Standard Version (ESV)

7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
