AFRICA!!!!

This is Africa!! I miss this!! In 2 months, 2 weeks and 4 days thats where i will be…i leave for Uganda on the 10th October and will be there for about 7 months until i come home for my sister wedding!! Since i decided to go to Kampala it has all seemed really surreal…it has felt like something someone else is doing…not me. But in the last few days i feel my heart longing for Uganda in a way i cant explain. I feel broken. I feel like although i have never been there my spirit always has. I am terrified. I know my heart is going to be broken a million times, but i also know im going to see Jesus. Im going to find him at last. I realise that i would rather be terrified with him, than safe without. And that makes me not want to wait.

I am weeping as i write this, i am coming alive inside, i am awakening. I feel like i have been asleep in some way, that i have forgotten, but i dont even know what it is that im trying to remember. But this is it, Jesus is it. And as i remember him, it all makes sense again. My eyes open. And i see.

Its his face.

Its Uganda.
