Home Sweet Home! It’s now Wednesday, March 3 and we are on our final flight to Charlotte North Carolina. It’s been quite a little adventure but I’ve reconciled that Christ simply had something else for us in Uganda. While we had planned to leave Uganda 4 days ago, the Lord sought to keep us there a little longer.
I’ve learned a lot of things during this extended time; more of the character of God, the natural tendencies of man and further details to cover in training a team for mission trips.
I was reminded and comforted over and over with how much God is in control of our lives. He cares about every detail of our lives. Our lives would be much easier if we would simply turn every detail of our life over to Him.
In our deepest hour of need, following the emergency landing of our plane, Christ put before us “Emmanuel”…literally… a young man with a name which means “God with us”. We asked Emmanuel if he knew what his name meant…and he did! I asked him if he was a “Christ follower”, and he was! God didn’t simply surround us with Christ followers, He let us know we were surrounded by Christ followers! Our Lord knew our team needed reassurance of His presence.
We were in a “strange land” with “strange people” but God found favor with this group. The enemy attempted to thwart our efforts but God’s work can never be thwarted.
It’s good to be home! I look forward to how God will show Himself when I return in May.
