Wednesday, January 11, 2012. I am one hundred percent excited and confident that God has me here by His leading, but sometimes there's just nothing you can do when you miss home. I have about 45 minutes left of being 28, before I enter my final year of my 20's. Okay, really it's not that dramatic, but at least its a reason to give pause for reflection. In both part confusion and overwhelming awe, I am humbled by the life God has granted me, where He's taken me, and where He is walking with me now. Owing ...

Wednesday, December 14, 2011. I've been told I need to talk about Africa. More. I've been back in America, away from Africa, for 9 weeks and 4 days, if anyone is counting. I've visited friends and family and church and have shared about Uganda - my kids, my work, my life there. But honestly, its hard, because it hurts to remember what I love and miss so much and to be transparent with the heart of who I've become. Let me give you a good illustration:. When people ask, "How was Africa? Love does not run,.

Saturday, December 24, 2011. I have a friend named Claire, she is about 7 years old, and she gave me possibly the best, most selfless gift I've ever received. About a month or so before I left Uganda, one of our mentors asked me to visit a few homes to check on their health and sanitation. Claire was beaming the day we went to visit her home because she got picked up from school by a muzungu in a car, she got to eat popcorn in the back seat, and best of all - we were going to her. Giggle. "No.". I had a ...

Sunday, March 13, 2011. Dear Friends and Family,. I’ve been wanting to write and tell you about an amazing experience I was so blessed to be part of the other day while I’ve been staying in Gulu, Northern Uganda. This past holiday season, my home church in San Jose, CA, WestGate church took part in Advent Conspiracy. I was blown away to hear that WestGate wanted to send part of the money they gave for Advent Conspiracy to Uganda for a well project in coordination with my organization, Hope Alive! This on...

Friday, January 7, 2011. And of course, dancing, Kampala style. Fun and games in Gulu. Traditional Kiganda dance, as performed by our amazing Masaka kids. I was just thinking about the time of life "pre-Uganda;" doing research on the country, looking at pictures, trying to imagine just what it could be like there. I think I even wrote a series of blog posts called "What's it like there? Which is funny to think about now, since I was just as clueless as you at the time.). One of our Hope Alive! 28 years o...

Thursday, July 7, 2011. Confession: I waited till nearly my 3. Decade of life to watch my first Super Bowl this year. Apparently, inspired by either homesickness or feelings of nostalgia for anything American, I decided that living in Uganda meant I should. The world's largest LED display - it weighs 600 tons, has 300 million light bulbs, is the equivalent of 4,920 fifty-two inch flat panel tv's, and cost…40 million dollars. In a series of events that swirl in a confusion of African culture, Ugandan hist...
