Reflections

i have not written for the past weeks not because i do not want but sometimes you have to give up on somethings to gain others.
i have been busy with the women empowerment project and we are trying to set up some project that are sustainable . Very soon they are going to start a micro-lending initiative of their own, call it a small Grameen Bank. You dont know how a bank intimidates a rural woman and the fear of borrowing money from the bank but they are so excited with this idea and i cant wait to get it running.
I have been thinking of what drives me to do certain things for people and i realized its not because of me but it is the passion and compassion that God put inside me.
i have seen how love can even change the hardest of people and yah! some times it frustrating especially when you can not accept the facts about life .
i have also realized that i have responsibilities now and yah! its time to grow up , thats the way things run in africa, we grow up so early and the troubles of life wear you out so much but am not complaining .

God's amazing work in me

i know i have taken so long with out writting, not because i have nothing to write about but because i have had alot happening in my life. A m also trying to deal with some of my friends leaving which is hard becuase i will never see them again.
Lat week i had a very distrubing incident and one thing i have learnt in life is that things do not happend the way you want them to and that sometimes silence is the best answer becuase it means you do not have to regret anything.
It has also made me realise that God is doing a great job in my life and i have seen that he has answered some of my prayers. I asked him to teach me to forgive people easily and forget about somethings and he has done that , i realized that even when people hurt me so badly that they make me cry , at the end of the day i will forgive them and still love them. Thats an achievement for me .
To my blogs friends , God bless you so much this year and to my small sisters and brothers who have new families , one day remember that we did not choose for you to leave because we do not like you here but because God had willed and because you needed love and care and those families were the ones that choose. We still love you and be good kids.

its been long since i last wrote , a lot has been happening and i have done some soul searching about my life and what i want to happen the next years. i have tried to understand every one and what they want in life and i realized we are not the same all the time, but i think thats what God wants ,me top realise.
i have busy this past week trying to visit all the women and trying to understand their needs while respecting them at the same time. Its hard working with women that are older than you, one time you are thinking about what to tell them and them you think about it and you realize that they have probably seem more in life that you have but they sit and listen to you all the same .
Its going to take me so long to accept that they are things that i can not change in life but God help me accept these.
Am also trying to see if they is a place that i can get free formula milk cos they are kids who need it badly.

i know i have takenlike ages with out writing . A lot has happened like me graduating , something i though i would never be able to do bu trust God and his ways , he helped me do that thats why i just cant stop thanking him so much.
Am sick with malaria right now but i think he is already making me better and there are days when i feel like dying cos of what is happening in the world, it just makes me sick that people are busy taking other's lives something they are not supposed to do cos no one ever created a person on this earth. Oh God open our eyes and give us wisdom to think before we do anything

Today as i sat watching a movie called war dance, i could not help it but cry, its do hard when u listend to stories form some one else's life especially times when you are thinking that you have been through alot more than them , and then you realise that you still have everything and they lost everything. Some times as i pray to God deeep in the night and as i meditate about his works, so many questions run thorough my head, why do we have to suffer so much, and here am struggling with faith and making faces at God because i did not get what i asked from but they are people who have gone thorough a lot yet they still trust in him , even when they feel they can not do it any more.
To the children of war , dont ever let anyone put you down, you are wonderfully and fearfully made by God and he knows the placs he has for you. God bless you so much and we love you everyday.

i have so far spent three days in this place. but i will say it is the best reception i have recieved so far, sometimes i fail to understand how people would be so nice to a total stranger they have never known, feed them , protect them and talk to them. its something that i fail to understand but i guess God made it that way. i know they will never know but am so grateful. God bless.

there are thing that we do in life with out thinking about how such things will hurt the other people. When we have achieved what we wanted then we think of how mean we have been. God save me that i never have to reach that extent.

To my blog friends that i pray for every day , have a blessed new year. always read phillipians 4:6. it really encourages me a lot.

chrismas was such a joyous time for me but yet reflecting. many time we forget why we celebrate chrismas and we conncetrate more on the gitfs and the food. Thank God its not a gift culture in uganda , so we concetrate more on the food. As i celebrated chrismas and new's day i took time oof to reflect and thank God for the past years. Its possible with him that i assure you.
i will be leaving for masaka on the 5th and apparently i do not see to have mixed feelings about leaving away from home for sometime.
For all my blog friends , happy new years and May God bless you and your families to the fullest.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths. This is the verse that God has put on my heart for this year.
God bless you
