I am less than 30 days away from my mission trip
to Uganda and I wait in great… anxiousness.
I also wait in great expectation! I know the hope that is in Christ. But I know that going on a mission trip to a foreign
country is a great responsibility and it carries a heavy weight. What God will do in me is probably much greater
than what He will do through me. I know
I am small, and yet God still uses me.
And I am thankful. I am happy to
be the dot in the formation of a letter in His story. I am that small. And I like it that way.
About this time I start to wonder “what the heck
did you sign up for?” It happens before
EVERY single trip I take whether it’s to see my friends in Colorado or Haiti or
now… Uganda. It’s a weird thing, I love
to travel but it makes me nervous.
Planes crashing, people killing me, I watch too much criminal
minds. I think everyone has the
potential to be a serial killer.
(welcome to the crazy that is inside my mind!). I also know a whole bunch of tears are about
to be poured out, my eyes will leak out allllll over Uganda! (there is no shame in my crying game). I know that God will grow me, and stretch me
(did I mention I might have to give my testimony – I don’t really like speaking
in front of people) and there will be moments of pain.
And as I type all this… I will tell you… I can’t
wait. For it allllll...
I can’t wait (if we are allowed – the local
church may do it) to give out Little Dresses for Africa!I can’t wait to play dominoes with kids and adults!
I can’t wait to see the smiles of the people of Uganda
I can’t wait to see the growth in my teammates
I can’t wait to see lives changed for Christ!
I can’t wait to experience a culture I’ve only seen in pictures and heard about
I can’t wait to hear the voice of God
I can’t wait to worship the Creator of the universe
I can’t wait to see what God will do!
And I can’t wait for the things that I don’t even know about yet!
So yes, I wait in great anxiousness, and but I wait
in great expectation! I will have
moments of quiet, when I can’t find the words, and moments when I won’t be able
to shut up! All my crazy will be
contained, and moments that will be ALLLLLLLLLL over everything!
I will hug hard, smile big, and love fierce!
