doing all things to the glory of god.

so today i have a bit of time on my hands which is great!

i went with pastor to a church in kampala on sunday. and on the two hour drive i was informed that pastor wanted me to preach! so i desided i would preach on rest as from about two weeks into this trip thats when god started to teach be about resting in him. we got to the church and are there worshiping and all of a sudden i realized i didn't feel very nervious which is weird for me! then i started to get nervious but i desided to try and work through this and think about it and as i thought i realized that i was here to do what god asked me to do and to share for the kingdom of god not for myself. and i remembered the support i had of friends, of my youth group my church, family, girlfriend. and it gave me the strength to preach what i needed to preach, but then it went one step more i began to speak in tongues!

and from that i asked god do you have a word for this church and he said why yes i do and gave me a prophetic word for the church about a new down pour that was going to happen in there church a fresh anointing (it helped that 20 mins later it began to pour cats and dogs) after i shared the word i shared about finding rest in god and it was incredible. since then i'm ok with this crazyness. this morning i learned that i will be preaching tonight and tomorrow and it was like no problem plenty of time to hear what god has for me to say!

god is teaching me a lot about hearing him, trusting him, and controling my emotions. the big things are trust and love though. loving where its not always easy for me to love. and trust when its not easy to trust. sometimes i miss canada, i miss the snow, the stars in the sky the break water. my life here is much more strict at times. i can't simply just get in a car when i need space. so god is teaching me to trust him to provide and be there for me. and also to take control of my emotions (the worrying, missing people, etc). everyday i get time with god and i get to learn more. theres only so much to do. watch movies, read a book, go to school or stay at home. but in the new year and around christmas my life will begin to get much more busy.
