And I'm Off!

I just touched down in London and I'm trying to figure out ways to occupy the large time-slot ahead of me. Turning on my computer turned out to be the smartest thing I've done all day, as London Heathrow now has free wi-fi!

So, now I'm off! After many tearful good-byes, I'm off to be "Gone to Uganda" once again. It has been almost a year since I've been back, and with the new challenges that lie before me have set my nerves racing, adrenaline pumping from sheer excitement and activated an overwhelming fear of failure.

For those of you who ever have watched "The Simpsons", I am feeling like the old Mr. Burns, who at one time has so many diseases surging throughout his body, in fact he should be dying, but all of the diseases are counteracting one another, saving his life and creating him into a medical miracle. I have so many things going on inside that I 'should' be falling apart, but since He is holding me together, I am, as the Ugandans say, 'fine.' The One who has called me back to Uganda is above every fear, pain, and triumph.

My role this time will be a bit different that my previous role in 2008. I will be managing the Guesthouse (the 'Inn' where teams and visitors stay while serving at New Hope Uganda) and coordinating the teams and visitors that serve at New Hope. I have big shoes to fill, but thankfully my feet are rather large.

When I reach Uganda tomorrow morning, I will be greeted by a great friend, Nancy and my 3rd cousin, Becca. Becca will be staying with me for a month as she will serve as my assistant and I am so grateful for following His call to come. I am very much looking forward to seeing familiar faces tomorrow!

I will try and post as often as I can and as always, I REALLY enjoy hearing from you!
