I have been distant from a computer that actually is connected to the internet this week so I have a few things to catch up on…apologies for being "distant."
Child Sponorship-
Thank you! For each of you who picked up a child from Buloba to sponsor. We have approx 115 of the 257 kids that were sent to us sponsored. That means that 115 kids and families in Buloba will have their futures significantly shifted! Kids whose families have never had anyone attend school in their home will be able to go to school. Kids who have never heard of Christ and God's love for them will hear that message as they begin going to Saturday program at Buloba Community Church. Not just their earthly future has shifted, but their eternal future can be totally changed. All for $35 a month. We will put the kids back out Nov 30 in church. If you want to pick one out before then, just let me know and we can meet up.
Patrick and Sarah-
Our logistics guru from Uganda has been back in town this week. I dropped them off at the Atl airport for their week long trip to Texas. It was fun to take them to the thrift store and Target. Sarah said to me yesterday "no more shopping attractions today." I tried to convince them to go to Rick and Bubba's Turkey Toss yesterday but they said it would be too cold. They have an aversion to cold, understandably.
Free Time-
For those of you who read, you know I quit my job. My plan was to head to the hospital to do Social Work again. Well, that plan significantly changed Tuesday. There is no job opening up for me there. So I have been unemployed for just short of a week. It's been full of Uganda tour guiding and making sure my house is clean for the folks viewing it (5 so far this week). And full of waiting to see what God has for me. Lots of praying and asking "what do you have for me?" I won't get into it here, but the missions theme for the next year (or two) at CUMC is going to be "Available" and I feel like God is asking me to put my money where my mouth is… I know quitting Children's Ministry was right. Just don't know what God has in store next… It's going to be interesting to find out. I will keep ya updated.
Hope you guys are having a great last full work week before Thanksgiving break next week. Be sure to talk to folks about what and why you are thankful between now and next Friday. God is good. God is Faithful. God has the best plan… be sure to let Him know you think about all that. Saying thank you amazingly shifts your focus…in a good way 🙂
have a great weekend!
