I thought i would post a list of prayer requests before I actually get on a plane to Uganda. I sat in the airport in Atlanta right as they were getting ready to board the plane and got a little overwhelmed. I realized I was alone. No team. Just me. Going to Africa. To figure out what God is up to. In the world. In me. And I fought back tears. Grateful that I can go. A tad scared to not know what is next. But I guess that can be like any day. Even at home. We don't know what today will bring. But I know that God knows. And He has his best for me. So that is enough.
For my bags to arrive- a 20 hr layover…have no idea where they are right now. I just want my big one to get there- it has most of the sponsor kid stuff. I have gifts for at least 9 kids…I want the love to arrive!
For God's vision. For what He is doing in Uganda. How He would want me involved in that.
For my work peeps-for things to not be too crazy without me. I know it can be a burden on them when I am not there.
For Barbara and Daddy- Barbara's Dad has been in the hospital for weeks with a broken hip and severe complications and hasn't even had his hip repaired yet.
For my health- for rest in my bones. Already I feel how out of shape I am! To not have sickness as a distraction.
For my protection- I don't pray for safety much. It's never a guarantee. Just ask those Bible guys…Jone, James….But whatever happens for the Lord to be glorified in my response to what may come.
For me to share life giving truth to whomever may need it. And encouragement to the body of believers.
For my sweet friends in Uganda- for the current unrest that exists there.
For God's people to think globally. He blesses us in the states so much. My desire is that "we" would know how to appropriately use what we have been given.
To NEVER get motion sick in Uganda. It is SUCH a distraction. And to be drugged all the time is terrible. I lose so much focus! This has been a previous prayer request every time I've gone. And every time God has answered! Amazing. I get so car sick even in Auburn driving around town sometimes! (well, riding)
I may post again before I board…i got a sweet text this morning and have been awake so I thought I would list this. I was thinking about the prayers being spoken by my sweet friend and realized I have failed to share specifics like i have always done in the past.
Thank you. Grateful for each of you. And your intercession for me.
