In spite of forgotten passports…In spite of sliding tackles at the gate…In spite of sickness in flying and searches in security (who brought the peanut butter?)…In spite of long layovers, longer flights and lack of sleep, we safely arrived shortly after 1 am this morning. By God’s grace, He has brought us to Uganda, with no “real” incident, aside from the lack of most of our luggage (pray for its quick return), and in spite of ourselves.
May this be the theme of our week. That it won’t matter what we do right or wrong, what “tasks” we accomplish or fail to do, what we are able to check off our list on our schedules, but that the Lord’s purposes prevail, even in spite of us.
Proverbs 19:21 says “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” This is our prayer. We have made many plans in preparation for this trip but it is the Lord’s purpose that must prevail. Pray with us as we begin medical clinics today and tomorrow with the few hours of good sleep the Lord granted us.
We are already enjoying renewing old friendships and making new ones. We are so incredibly privileged to be a part of what God is already doing here. Pray with us that His purpose will prevail.
