Life is good, eternal life is better

To those of you reading this, thank you! I appreciate your want to stay in touch with my life and how God is going to use me the next 15 days...as well as the rest of my life. Thank you for the support and prayers you have given me. This trip would not be possible without you.

If you are confused about what I am talking about, tomorrow I leave for a mission trip to:

Uganda, Africa

I will be assisting on the medical team!

My excitement is too much to contain. I cannot wait to express the love of Christ with these people. 

How often we forget what a blessing it is to be used by a loving God.

My prayer is that through this trip, the kingdom of God would be furthered, chains would be broken, and hearts will be changed forever.

I am already amazed at the way God has so intricately planned every detail of this trip, and how he simply makes things work. 

By trusting in Him, I can move freely, without bondage to worry, regret, and fear. My challenges and circumstances are merely a reassurance that Christ is real, and at work, at all times. 

Thanks again for keeping in touch, and be looking out for my daily updates on how God is using my team and I in Africa!

“Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely. ... He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken.”

-  Dieter F. Uchtdorf
