“In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines
his steps”
This month,
most of the students that I graduated high school with will be finishing up
college. Four years ago I felt like I
was making a “sacrifice” and “giving up my life” to follow God to missions
instead of going to college. What I have
found since making that decision is the life that I would have never been able
to imagine. God has been nothing but
faithful and mind-blowing each and every day.
I never would have thought that in the time span of four years, God
would have used me to create a ministry in Uganda, and be able to lead multiple
missions’ teams to Africa. We just sent out our fourth team of missionaries to spend the
summer in Uganda working with Soldiers of Christ!
It never ceases to amaze me.

| well... it looks like this is my home for the next three years :) |

| I don't think this is gonna be too bad... |
I will be
moving to Seattle in August to attend The Seattle School of Theology and
Psychology. In three years I will
receive a Master of Counseling Psychology.
The school has accepted me as a “life experience equivalent” to a
bachelor’s degree. I didn’t even really
know that someone could do that, but then again, God is full of surprises!
Since
I was fourteen, Uganda has been on my heart.
And I still believe that God plans for me there, but I believe that at
the moment He is taking me through a season of preparation and diligence before
I am ready to settle in Gulu.
I will still be the co-overseer of Soldiers of Christ with Jimmy in these next three years. Things are just going to look a bit different than I thought they would. Our intention as a ministry has always been to do counseling and rehabilitation with our kids in Uganda, so I am excited for this step of learning how to better give the students what they need. Thank you for continuing to stand with me in this journey!
