Another Soldier for Christ

Another one of those days where you really feel how in control God is.

I've been trying to find someone to go to Uganda with me, at least until I arrive, get the hang of things, and get to know the people I'm staying with. On Saturday, I was texting with a close family friend, Dalton, who as of December finished serving with the U.S. Army. I asked him if he would come with me, at least for the first few weeks. He said that he wished that he could but, no. So, that was that and we move on in our conversation.

Sunday came and Dalton texted me when he got out of church. After I asked him how church went he told me this:

"It was really, really good!
So, God told me to go and build. What do I have to do to come to Uganda with you for 7 months. I'm being 100% serious."

Ah! I was in shock and didn't really know what to say! God is so amazing, truly. Dalton came over a few hours later and we discussed everything, he emailed BDI, set up a fundraising page, and I got him a flight reserved with mine! Our Lord is so amazing and perfect the way He takes care of everything.

Pray that Dalton and I continue to say yes to whatever Our Lord asks of us and that we may conduct ourselves in a manner pleasing to Him.

Peace, Love, and Africa
