It's hard to believe that among all the papers to grade, the events and duties to attend, we are finding the time to make sure we are ready for our trip. Scott is busy preparing each laptop, fitting them into their pelican cases for travel, seeing if the printer will fit in some piece of luggage, and making sure we have every cord and piece of equipment. I'm calling the credit card companies, buying new luggage and asking everyone I know to pray for us. Busia, Uganda is the kind of place we have never experienced before. We are trying to prepare for every part of the trip, not knowing anything about what we will actually face. Scott has found some great websites that give us an idea about Heathrow and our 10 hour layover in Terminal 5, Entebbe (the Ugandan airport) and its lack of ATM machines, and what to pack from other Busia visitors who bothered to post things on the internet. Chris is doing everything he can to prepare us, and we are trying to be laid back, and trusting the Lord. We are especially excited about going with our precious daughter, Maggie. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5,6) Thank you, Lord, for all your direction so far. We bless Your Name.
This is one of my memory verses for this year, not because I didn't know it, but because I needed to meditate on it. Now I can pray for you when I do that again and again. Here's my other verse, about trusting with our hearts, that seems especially appropriate...
ReplyDeletePsalm 62:8
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
He will be your refuge...your home and shelter...on this journey.

Hey Martha.... Proverbs 3:5-6 was my theme verse that I chose in early August as I welcomed Stony Brook school into my life..... God will sustain, His Sovereignty will cover EVERY need, EVERY anxiety, EVERY moment. What a delight to know that you are holding on to the exact words that sustained my these past ten months!!!!! HE IS A MIGHTY GOD!!!
