Power...

Yesterday we experienced one of the seasonal storms of Uganda. We sat out on the front porch and watched it roll in and thirty minutes later, roll back out. I was reminded of the power of God. There are millions of children here without parents. Many of the western run orphanages are now trying to focus more on couples from Uganda adopting these children and I love this emphasis! It is good and it is right. However, there are still hundreds of thousands that will go without parents and are being raised in deplorable conditions. The fortunate ones are those that make it to a nice orphanage. I have visited several homes thus far and the conditions that some of these homes are in would break your heart.

As I watched this powerful storm roll in, I wondered what my place is and how I am to serve in helping address this orphan crisis. God is powerful and he can move mountains. I am praying for my specific role in helping children without a family to be joined with a waiting loving family. I am also praying that God would use His power to secure us a court date before we leave in August. Let's wait and see what the LORD does; whatever it is He chooses to do - it will be right and it will be good.
