I have such mixed feelings today as we prepare to begin our journey back to the U.S.  Part of me misses my life back home, my kids, my friends, work, church, etc., but a part of me wants to just stay here.  We have fallen in love with Uganda, not just because the country is beautiful and the people are friendly, but because we are confident that this is where we are meant to be.

I heard a friend of ours, Chris Weaver, say that he wanted to stay in Africa when he went on his mission trip a couple of years ago, but I really didn’t understand it.  It only took a few days before we understood what he was talking about.  Uganda felt like home almost instantly and we have received so many confirmations from God that this will be our home.

God has taught me so much about Him, myself and what it means to be a disciple while I’ve been here.  He has also taught me so much about poverty that I never understood, but I will save that for a future blog post.  Please keep us in your prayers as we make the journey back home and continue the process of moving our family to Uganda.
