Internet has not been working, and it is too slow to upload more pictures besides for one.
Day 2:
Dear Lord,
I can already hear your gentle
reminders that you knew had gotten away from me. How can you be patient with someone over and
over again? Nevertheless, thank you for
your grace. Today my arms were always
full, something you know I’ve missed for too long. My arms were made for and need children. I woke up 13 hours after going to bed,
clearly I was more exhausted than I wanted to admit. It seems that only in Uganda where my heart
is so thirsty for the Lord is where crying babies, preschoolers singing, dogs
howling, and chickens squawking all account for your beautiful creations to
wake up too. In America, I would never
be at such peace to wake up to these sounds, but here my heart is changed
depending solely on you.
I can see your divine handiwork behind
each person you placed here at Amani this summer. There is a wonderful coordinator here named
Helene. Wow, is she one of your faithful
servants. She spoke so much wisdom into
my life this evening during our volunteer bible study. Thank you so much for our wonderful bible
study and worship session. How wonderful
is your name.
Lord, I love your little man
Judah. What a beautiful tiny creation of
yours. He loves to be held, but of
course he knew to cry for the right person because I was going to hold him even
if that meant for over an hour when I needed to go to town. Sometimes, it’s good to remember to just
pause and savor the moment. Things
really are not that necessary to get done. I would not tried all those smiles
and coos for anything. All the other
things that needed to get done can just wait for another day. Thanks for your faithfulness and your
ability to teach in every circumstance.
PS. Bedtime is my absolutely favorite
and tonight with that little Grace. Be
still my heart.
Love your Princess,
Lindsay
During my time at Amani this time, I
get to be with the girls. There are 3
sets of twin girls and about 15 others older than 6 months. Tomorrow, I’m temporarily taking over for
someone and helping teach the 2 year old preschool class, which I’ve been told
is an adventure. Anything with Eric or
Grace involved is always an adventure, so I’m sure they are telling the truth.
My Lesson from God of the Day:
Solomon prays for a discerning
heart. He doesn’t pray for a situation
or things, but rather God gives him the ability to discern between right and
wrong, good and evil. God always has fun
teaching me different things, so tonight when I was praying for different
situations, he showed me this passage in 1 Kings. The Lord is giving me an answer to my
questions, but it is not by a blatant sign or a letter with instructions on
it. Instead, it is with the ability for
me to use my judgment and wisdom that he has blessed me with. Discernment is something that I usually
choose to ignore when it is not the answer I want to hear. But once again, Jesus reminds me to not
follow the path my worldly flesh desires, but the path less followed for
greater fulfillment. Once again, being
pruned is so hard, but it’s the slow steps along HIS path that make me fall in
love again with my King.
So for now, just enjoy this cute little thing.
