Day 3

So this morning I read 2 Peter 2 and 3 and chapter 3 is all about Christ's return and then I got really pumped!! If you've accepted Christ as your Savior, then you're going to Heaven, get excited. It'll be an eternity of a perfect relationship with the God of the universe, I can't wait!!!!!!
And I love the part that says "since all these things are thus to be dissolved [meaning the sinful earth passing away and the new heavens and earth coming],what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness." And then Peter continues on to say "be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace." You gotta be diligent and fight the flesh continually (even when you're say on a trip in Uganda).

Me and Susie got to talk about that this morning; she is reading Crazy Love (read it if you haven't!) and she is in chapter 2 where it says that you could die before you finish the chapter and it talks about heaven so we got pumped for Heaven.

So today we were at MUBS again for breakfast and after I prayed for my breakfast, one of the MUBS ladies sat down next to me and prayed for hers as well, that was awesome!

Then we headed to meet this entrepreneur who created a Telecom company that is the biggest in Uganda. He turned out to be more of an inspirational speaker who taught about entreprenuership than the other way around. He used a metaphor for entreprenuership that went something like this: entreprenuers are like seeds. When the seeds land on rocky ground, they fail quickly, when they land on the beaten path, they fail quickly, but when they land on good soil and dig roots deep down, they succeed....sound familiar?? (if not, check out Matthew)
On the way into the talk, I was talking to one of the lovely ladies here on the trip with us and I got to remind her that God loves her, which she didn't seem to believe. I will definately continue that conversation later, she for sure needs to know that God loves her, everyone does.
(in case you didn't know, God love you! for real)

Then we went to MUBS again for lunch where I ate liver (one bite, haha) and we celebrated Susans birthday with a cake!! And I got some sweet suveniers from one of the MUBS students' brothers, who is an artist, you will get to see those when I return :)

And finally, we headed to the World Cup soccer game!!!!!!!! Or football game as it's called here. It was Uganda vs. Kenya and Uganda won of course! The girl from MUBS that was sitting next to me had a shirt on that I really really liked, it said "I serve a living savior" :) Amen sister!
Left a few tracks around, you can pray for those!

So today is a short summary but you get the picture. I'll see you all soon!

Prayer requests for today:
-safety and health
-boldness
-fruitfulness
-learning and growth
-soft hearts
