We were asked to write a little bit about our Uganda Mission for the HCCP newsletter, normally I would jump at the opportunity to talk about our trip, but I didn't really know what to say. Wow, I was at a loss for words!! hahah
I have a hard time putting to paper what I feel/felt about our trip. I still have a hard time even going back to "normal" life. I feel like Uganda is still calling for me, like I left something behind that I just can't wait to return to. But I know that I also have a life here that I need to attend to. That I have to be "responsible" for now, and can't just run off on another mission so soon.
I was just reading Eastlake's Mission Blog and read this today:
we are all missionaries, it just depends on what your mission is.
For some people, their mission is being an excellent mom. Or curing cancer. Or teaching children well. Or being an honest businessman. Or leading people towards health. Or having an influential marriage.
You are a missionary for whatever it is that you are passionate about. You don’t have to travel to Africa to be on a mission. You just have to be willing to tell people about what you love.
But you can travel to Africa, or anywhere else for that matter, if you want :)
Wow, that hit me, that was meant for me, that was written for me! hahaha
Now time to continue to be a missionary, continue to serve God, and continue to find my passion.
The biggest thing that I found while in Uganda was peace, peace with my life, peace in my mind, and peace and love in my marriage. It gave me a strong desire to continue to be a better person, to give more than I take, and to keep smiling, even when I'm having a bad day, cause its truly never that bad.
