seeking

I talked about in a post a while back about wanting to go to Africa and that I felt the God was nudging me in the direction of Uganda. I also posted about my cousin Tyler being in Uganda a few weeks ago. My whole family got together Sunday to celebrate birthdays. We started telling different stories about mission trips and Tyler began to tell us about Uganda. The whole time he was talking I felt the presence of Christ. Then, my cousin Morgan (Tyler's sister) started telling me about this girl who lives in Uganda and that she was probably going to go there next summer for 4 to 6 weeks as an intern. I was instantly jealous. I would LOVE to do that. I didn't really say anything then because I didn't want to seem like I was trying to impose or steal her idea or anything. But later I asked her what the girl's name was and what her orginization was called just to go check out what she does. I started to read her blog and look at her site and I was literally brought to tears. Morgan mentioned maybe me going next summer too. 4-6 weeks in Uganda would be so amazing and life changing. We both agreed I would have to pray about it before being all in. The rest of the night (instead of studying like I should have) I just turned on some music and spent some time in worship. Then this morning I went to Church of the Highlands for morning prayer. It was such an incredible time of seeking God's face in this and just asking Him to show me His will in this specific area. I started to picture children, including our compassion child Helen. The mere thought of those sweet precious souls makes my heart smile for days. I feel like God is continually confirming this mission whether it be with Morgan or some other way. I love that I serve a LIVING God who can answer me when I cry out to Him and give me guidance. If I had to rely on a statue of a dead man I would go crazy. I am going to continue to pray and seek God's will in this because there is still a few months. The thought of it scares me and excites me all at the same time. I feel like God is all in it but I need to make sure He wants me to be.
