of beautiful Ugandan babies, if only for a little. Whenever I need a pick me up I leave the office and head outside to watch the kids at play and if possible play along. It’s funny how almost instantaneously my soul is revived. I’ve finally been able to post a few pics on this site so here are a few of the lil ones I’ve been having fun with. I will post a few pics of Lake Victoria next time around.
I have been in Entebbe for 6 weeks. I’ve seen so many parts of the ministry here. I have been blessed to join medical missions, help a development committee with a business plan for a piggery for the poor women in the church community and help with the kid’s program.
When I have a clear head and heart I marvel at the experience and I am so grateful I am able to be here. In less clear times, I amaze myself at how I can totally miss the big picture as I spend so much time focused on self and my needs, my issues etc. when they usually pale in comparison to the needs of the people who surround me. I guess that is the effect sin has on the human heart – makes us focus on us all the time! Most times however I come around in time to appreciate the moment before it passes me by.
As I meet all kinds of people with all kinds of issues I know most often all I can offer is my ear and sympathy but I know God can offer so much more. I know he wants to hear the same things they are telling me - their sorrows, their needs and their dreams. I love the imagery God uses throughout the Bible to describe His desire for us. He longs to hold us just as a mother hen gathers her young ones under her protective and caring wing. Hope you are enjoying His warm embrace. Love, Lensi
Lensi it is so wonderful to hear this. I hope you continue to be blessed my sister.
