So i been learning the song by matt redman, the heart of worship, he wrote this song when the pastor of his church stopped the band from doing worship for a whole month, because he felt like the heart of worship had disappeared in the church.
i have been hanging out with the Ywam Team its been so awesome. already i have been teaching and doing awesome things. i have even led worship on a few occations now which is right up my ally. lifes just been crazy living in a house with 9 other musungu's i do a lot of shopping for them and i which is great. i'm becoming mugandan in the way that i shop as i can now barter really well! we have a cook that cooks two meals a day for us shes incredible! ah man shes so good to us and goes above and beyond the call of duty. i cook breakfasts here and there. done it about twice now. made flat bread and tomorrow we are doing like a bunch of eggs which will be great.
tomorrow we are going to the hospital and then doing door to door ministry.
i have been doing a lot of soul searching trying to figure out why i'm here in africa and why it feels like god is tearing me apart. being with this team has helped though. i have been thinking a lot about where i should be going and what god wants me to do and i'm looking at going to to YWAM and when i should go. if your reading this blog please pray for me as i will need to raise money for that trip so if you feel god saying anything about how i can raise it or what i should do or who i should ask, or even if you feel like giving some money towards me going to ywam feel free to email me and ask me about it and i will give you some more information.
I'm loving the fact that i get to lead worship, it feels right, its hard at times but i just feel like i'm in a good place when i get to play and worship good. its going to be a busy month for me. a lot of stuff going down. we are looking at going to Kampala on our day off next week and checking out the sites should be fun.
we saw 11 kids saved at a school the other day which was great. please pray for us as many of us have very little money to survive off of and have to be very careful. also pray for our safety and gods fresh anointing on what we are doing. thanks!
Joely.

between the buried and me
I love the words "between the buried and me" its actualy the name of a band, but i just like the way it sounds.
i'm all moved into my new place, its nice and its crazy to actually have my own set of keys and a house i'm taking care of. our cook is incredible. she has an incredible ability to cook as well.
we did a bunch of out reach last week for about 4 days straight. there was around roughly 64 people saved it was pretty awesome. i have really been pressing into god these days and the more i do the harder it is. i have had horrible dreams since it started and worry here or there so i'm really having to just lay everything down at the cross. its not that easy though.
my last night in Robert's house peter and i and the kids all sat down for devotions, but Robert and Esther were tired so had gone to bed. we didn't know what to do so peter asked me to get the guitar and i led worship, it was difficult at first, but then i felt got move me to play How he loves us, and so i did and i had to choke through many of the words as god's presence poured into the room and then god led me to talk about the song so i explained this song and again through tears it was rough. then god led me to preach so i preached as well. for me it was the best devotion i was a part of because god's presence was just so real.
now that i'm with my team we will be doing outreach in and around the different communities and spend time together we have a couple of guitars and a beautiful house and a lovely cook who is like a mother and watchs out for us. we boil our own water and take care of ourselves. its pretty crazy! anyway i'm off i told the team i would work on making them chapoti and eggs etc.
