HE Leads me, the Journey Continues

God is so amazing I have no doubt He will take care of every need as I go. He laid Uganda on my heart a couple of years ago and I felt He would led me in some way to serve in Africa, probably Uganda. I have been invited to join with Kingdom Driven Ministry that will be based near Kitale , Kenya, (near the border of Uganda). So Dec 30th 2011 is my last day at my job in the real estate world. Now I can devote more time to seek The Kingdom of our  Abba Father & Jesus His Son, my Savior & King by the leading of His Holy Spirit.

God is awesome & has blessed me immensely to favor me with a Journey to Africa

Nov. 26, 2009 sometime after 10 PM local time in East Africa

I arrive in Africa…wow….Africa can this be real??? The plane lands at the Entebbe airport in Uganda hmmmm God is so awesome!!!! He has granted me something very special & most wondrous! I do not know why He has favored me with this blessing, but I am so GRATEFUL He did!!! My soul does magnify the Lord to think on all His wondrous ways & mercies! Oh bless the Lord o my soul!

My journey from Kentucky, USA to Uganda was 24 hours, but it did not feel like 24 hours. Upon departing from the plane…in Africa…wow… I am wondering how customs works here and then I catch a glimpse of a lady holding a sign with my name it…hmmm I was not expecting this…okay I go to her she guides me through the entrance of the airport as she motions for another official looking lady, who comes over & takes my passport & wisk me to the front of the line at customs …I look at the guy I just went ahead of apologetically , but grateful that she is escorting me through & handling everything …all I have to do is follow. This is my first introduction to my dear, wonderful, beloved Uganda brother Steve’s Uncle Chris’ hospitality.
I was lead to a room where my beloved brother in Christ &best friend, Steve and his uncle Chris were waiting for me....

Do we Trust Him?

“But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.”
Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

Desire & Intention of the Heart & Soul

"It must be the great desire of your soul that God's will may be done by you on earth as it is done in Heaven. It must be the settled purpose and intention of your heart to will nothing, design nothing, do nothing but so far as you have reason to believe that it is the will of God that you should so desire, design, and do.”
William Law

Along the WAY

The years came and went and God's grace and mercy saw us through, however 2007 stands out as a most amazing year.
First my husband, Garnett was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in Jan. What could have been a fearful & stressful time was not... Garnett and I grew closer to the LORD and as a result closer to each other. We both said it was the best year of our life...now that is God's peace, not the peace of this world. Peace that passes understanding... in other words peace that doesn't make sense.
The year ended with Garnett going  to be with the Lord.  I missed Garnett like crazy and grieved the loss of his presence in this realm,  but I was not lonely for our Abba Father comforted me
And His comfort is greater that the grief! So I can say without a doubt blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted.

Secondly,  in July a book arrived in the mail from a dear brother & sister in Christ and longtime friends, John & Gayla Price. The message in this book changed my life as it introduced me to the early Christians, the ones who truly lived and died for Christ, the pre-Nicene Christians & their writings. The title of the book was “Will the Real Heretics Please Stand Up” by David Bercot. These writings introduced me to true followers of Jesus and a key teaching that has been lost to most Christians today, the two Kingdoms. I was and am profoundly inspired by those early Christians as well as other true disciples of Christ who gave up all to follow Jesus down through the centuries and their through their witness I feel myself being transformed into the likeness of Christ. And from the uttermost depth of my soul I am so thankful
