Had to share from the Oastvalls web page. The video story of Gwen getting Joseph and Daisy in Jinja. So sweet so amazing. But part 2 is what floored me. Yep, heart overwhelmed out my eyeballs.
All the kids there in the community. Unfed and in need. Makes my heart break that the body of Christ get together to serve those in need in the world. More than what we are currently doing today.
I think of a CS Lewis quote I saw on FB via Twitter today from my friend Sarah-
"If we live at the same level of affluence as others who have our level of income, we are probably giving away too little."
And dont send me hate mail…. but I love that Alabama fans can unite for Toomers and so far raised over 11000 dollars last time I checked. To get over the at times ridiculous rivalry. And I understand the significance of the tradition. But for trees. Part of me smiles. Part of me wonders- really? Only in America. It's what makes it great. It's what makes me frustrated when I think about it too hard.
I just stop to think about how MANYkids that money could feed for how LOOONG in this Ugandan community and other communities across the world….it staggers the mind.
God's heart for the orphans. It should speak to our hearts. And stir us to do something…I am hopeful. At the work His people ARE doing. How we ARE getting on board with God's heart…expectant for more.
Blessings. Take the time. Watch. Laugh, smile and probably like me, let it overflow out your eyeballs.
Part 2 shows Katie who I have mentioned. The 20something "girl" with 13 children who now lives in Africa. Amazing. You'll see their home and all her sweet kids. Her blog is at the bottom. Read the most recent post. You won't be sorry. See Jesus. If nothing else, read Katie's blog post I put at the bottom of this post.
And did I mention I am plannin to go to Uganda soon? You wanna come with? Just holla. 🙂
