Ever since finding out what God has planned, things have not been the easiest. Satan has tried so many times to make me doubt GOD'S plan, even just today! Today, I found out how much airline to Kampala, Uganda would cost. I knew in my mind it was going to be a lot, but I think seeing the actual number, $3090, it hit me hard that, that is how much money I have to find to go to Uganda! As I am thinking this, thinking if ways I can make money and get donations, Satan is using all these things to make me not have faith in God and his plan! As soon as I realized what was happening, I stopped and prayed, right there in a friend's living room. I prayed for God to just comfort me and God comforted me by reminding me that this is his will, and He will get me there. This has been, I think, the biggest test of faith that I have had so far on this journey. Satan really does not want my friend and I to go on this trip, because he has been putting in the back of our minds that we can not do this, but then God intercepts and reminds us we can, through him!
Lately, God has really been giving me confidence in knowing that this is his plan! He has been showing me verses and quotes from other trustworthy people! He has also given me the opportunity to pray about this with respected people in my youth group, and everytime I talk about this passion to help the children of the Home Sweet Orphanage in Uganda, Africa, I feel him reveal his awesome power! Power that can move mountains! Power that can put a passion in someone's heart that they never knew was there. Power that can make one girl and her best friend have the same desire to serve the Lord through helping parentless children in Uganda. I mean, I would never have thought of having such a desire as I have now, to help children! I wanted to be a doctor, but then God came in and made my life a WHOLE lot better! It got better by him drawing me closer to him, and then He revealed just part of his plan to me! This whole thing is the part he has showed me! And I feel He has more in store for me! :) He is just such a mighty God, that can do ANYTHING!!
