My Heart Your Home

Just got off skype with Momma and my heart is heavy. I thought I'd share these Watermark lyrics with ya'll - They have really comforted me since my Momma isn't here right now to hold me. Jesus I am inviting you here to this place. Embrace me Daddy.

'Come and make my heart your home - Come and be everything I ever know and love search me through and through til my heart becomes a home for you (repeat)-

A home for yooooou Lord, A home for you ohhhh Lord

Let everything I do open up a door for you to come through - that my heart will be a place where you want to be - you are my portion filling up everything - you are the fortune causing my heart to see - that its amazing that you could make yourself at home with me. ' X

City Livin'

Hey Ya'll, I am currently listening to George Strait :) 'You get carried away...'(Sorry Amie) and trying to come up with words to express these pictures and the emotions I have while holding these precious little ones...but there are really none....Umm yeah these city children are loved just the same by God as the children in Mbarara. Go figure right???!!! I mean you think the country ones would be more popular with J.C. :) Haha. Apart from his love for the children, God has really done a number on my heart. Most of you know that I was asked to leave Mbarara recently - I was a bit nervous about this move. Moving from comfortable to uncomfortable is never an option that I or perhaps alot of people would choose. But God is sooo FAITHFUL and HIS plans for us are always best. I mean I totally prefer cows and goats in the road over motorcycle and taxi congestion...but To make a long story short -he has shown me that I CAN BE HAPPY AND CONTENT in a big city! There is a huge network of house churches here set up mostly by IMB missionaries and run by local Ugandan pastors. "My" team(Will,Jana,Sarah,Jakes) will hopefully be helping to train some children pastors. Jake is telling me I have to sleep now. So bye. LOVE LOVE
