Uncle

Uncle Large. That is how I was awaken this morning. Sam one of the little boys that lives in the room I'm staying in woke me as Uncle Large! Life truly is different when poverty has a face. Orphans have names and they know yours. People back home mean more. When I hear my title of uncle come from these orphans lips I think of Jame', Kamiakin, Kyleigh, Caedmon, and Addison. Do I love them enough? Do they know how much I care for them? Because I now see that it isn't just a title it is a calling to love them and live like my Father. Then the love that I pour out to them will draw them closer to a Father and a God who loves them more than I ever could. God I pray that You would protect my nieces and nephews back home. God I thank You that just by a simple action of a child I have learned so much. Just by two words my world has collided with eternity. These cildren are showing me love, I feel more than compelled to show them love back. The love of a father. The love of my FATHER!

About Feeling Rested In Chasing Awesomness!

So this is my first post since I have been in Africa (if you didn't get the title the first letters spell AFRICA). I am sorry that it has taken me so long but the internet is hard to find, and then once you have found it it is terribly slow. Anyways I have been in Africa almost three weeks. I have been in Ggaba for the most part and am living with the school Administrator of Arms named Abby. I went with Abby to a place called Mubende the first week and helped her with different things around the two ARMS schools there. After that I came home and spent two days in Maranartha School here in Ggaba. After the first day of working with the kids a man came up to me and said "Do you know Jenny and Ellen?" Having met so many people I totally didn't get that he meant Jeannine and Ellen ASSAY! So after I figured out who he met I got to go to Pastor Peters house to eat dinner with the girls and their dad. That next week I got to be a part of the prophetic conference that was taking place. I was a part of a prophetic group with the Assay's and a man named Deo who is a pastor here in Kampala and is good friends with Peter and even attended the Leadership conference in Medicine Hat. Anyways that week was amazing. I never have heard the voice of God so clear and have never ever gotten to speak into so many peoples lives. I thank God so much because it was only turly by Him that anything happened that week. Now I am back in Ggaba and am helping Abby out with some photography things that she needs. Then I will be traveling to Bethany Village (where the conference was held) where I will be helping out in the orphanage homes and helping out with a youth camp that is taking place. I want to thank all of you out there that have been praying for me I really have felt the presence of God here and I am at peace which is good because I wasn't sure the first couple of days if I would be. I love all you and miss everyone back in the states.
