FFM visit UJV

10 September

Wild and crazy day. Went and took one of our HIV children to the hospital for a check up. Just receive so much love for her. At a point I had to held her with another guy to draw some blood. It was horrible to hear her cry, but you know it was for her best. I must say that is how I felt at the end of the day. I just want to scream and cry. And it felt like somebody hold me very tide. Then I realize its my Jesus. To say it is okay. In the mitts of all the pain and hardship, He is holding us very tide. Even if you full of fear of the future, He knows what is happening next. We just need to trust Him. At the moment we are in so much decision making season. Loads of decision about the future we have to make. After that we had to deal with a personal about finances, and then my highlight for the day. I treated few of the children for their wounds. One of the girls came to me (around 9 years old), while I was busy dressing one of the boy's wounds. Saying, auntie, we need to pray now for the wound. Me so focus to clean and dress the wound and she just brought me back to reality. She put her hand on his leg and her other hand on my eyes and prayed. What more can I say...........The rest of the day was problem solving and helping with accounting. Our staff is just amazing. Their commitment is never ending. I love them so much. Went late back to our place. But it was successful day. Loads of stuff has been done. At home no electricity, but an amazing meal, by candle light. After that had to deal with few internal stuff. Went to bed knowing I'm empty today, but it is good.

11 September

Woke up with the knowing I had to be filled with my Fathers love. Outside it is pouring with rain and thunder and I knew. He wants to pour out His rain on me. I prayed in tongues and then saw a vision. I was like Joan of Ark running to my Fathers throne room, tired and empty and fell on His lap. Holding Him tied. I cried and cried and cried for more of Him. He picked me up and carried me to a room, where He laid me down. While I was sleeping He was pouring out His love on Him. I started worship Him. He is my Father and nothing can hinder me from His love.

I just cont in His presence. He gave me Ps 45. Wow what confirmation. I'm His princes and need to fight for righteousness, truth and humility. Amen and amen. So confirmation about my vision. Thank you Daddy. Also scriptures for the day Ps 1 and Proverb 16:9 . I'm full and filled up ready for this amazing day. Lets protect truth and run with His love today.


12 September

Another day full of challenges. The FFM team arrived at UJV. Everything went well. The team was really touched by the children’s testimonies. And the people were playing with the kids. It was awesome to see. I spoke about the volunteers and that we need more people. Nobody came to me. I spoke afrikaans in the office. How amazing that was. Karin my sister emailed one of the south african guy to bring me peppermint crisp chocolates. It made my day. I felt at home. 2 South africans in the team. It was good. Then the accountant from FFM came to help us with the accounting program. It was tuff. I felt that everything was wrong. And all our work for nothing. I was really overwhelmed by all the wrong stuff. I had to check again, was I working at the right place in UJV. Didn’t I had to do something else.........and then the meeting tomorrow. All about the vision. I realise this one I need to trust the Lord. We can’t do anything. He will rain tomorrow and show us the way. That is what we want. His plans for us. Lord be with Luke and Suzanne. My head is spinning now. We had an amazing prayer time with the Lord. Just stand on His word. All the figures spinning in my head....I just know I’m doing all for Him. To glorify Him. Fight for righteousness, truth and humility. Lord we die in our ways. Your way. amen

I'm Home Again

Im home!

I arrived on 10 August back in Uganda. I was overwhelmed by the welcoming of the Jones family, the UJV staff and children. It is so good to be back. I missed the traffic, the smell of burning carbage, sit around the candle and chatting with everyone who I missed the past 3 months. It was so cool to see the confirmations from the Lord in so many things. For me not being here, a lot changed at UJV. The Lord just moved forwards with everything and I can see that the Lord is good. The school is up and running and looks amazing. The teachers are so awesome as well. And the kids are cleverer than before.

I asked the Lord to show me what the next step is going to be in UJV for me. I felt He gave me a few ideas and it is amazing to see the confirmation, because that was also the same things that Suzanne had on her heart for me. Being back I am going to be involved in the medical side of the homes. A British friend of mine is coming over ( a nurse) to come and help teaching the mamas of first aid. And then also being responsible for the volunteers that are coming to help and serve here with us. So it is very excited to know and see the confirmation and the unity in the spirit.

This week friends of mine from Cape Town (Anel and louw) came and visit me over the weekend. It was so good to speak afrikaans in my own house and we had a real braai (bbq) in kampala. T-bone , pap and potato salad and off course melktert. It was amazing to have them here. We laughed so much. They drove with 4 x 4 from cape town to Uganda and it took them 7 days. It was so good to hear all the adventures they experience on the way. We are blessed to have them here alive. The best story for me is when the accents of the different cultures. The Canadians struggle to pronounce Anel, so later the evening Suzanne pronounce her name as anal....what a big laugh.

Looking forward to the weeks to come. We are going to be very busy, because we are going to have a lot of visitors and volunteers coming. The Fresh fire crusade is coming to visit and 3 of my british friends. Cant wait.

Big prayer request....what is our next step going to be.......

GO AND MAKE STORIES TODAY

SA holiday

Hi everyone

What an amazing time I had the past 3 months. The Lord sent me all over the world and I believe it was to show me His amazing grace and blessings. Eze:34:26” And I will make them, and the places around My hill, a blessing; and I will bring down the shower in its season. There shall be showers of blessings.

I tasted and I see that Lord is good. I had the most amazing time with my family in South Africa. I experience the love of the Lord through my family. They welcomed me with open arms and supported me with all they have. It was awesome. A few pictures just to show the memories I build with my family.

The best picture of me of the entire holiday.

Thank you for every one for what you have done and blessed me during this amazing time. I learned to live life in the full and to try and make as many stories with God and with the people you love and even with those you dont love or even know. But to go and not be afraid. Even to be so vulnerable before people, but to keep loving and reach out for more. And not to stop experience our amazing God and His love.

Go and chase after Him.
