Proverbs 21:3 says "The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord." ESV
I was thinking about that verse with our future in Uganda in mind. It seems that the initial excitement has waned and the check and double-check lists are well established. While the first trip is still pending and we are looking forward to that, it seems that thoughts of the long-term are on my mind. I've asked the Lord what my specific purpose will be.
Obviously we will be there to share the love of Jesus. That is a given.
But what will I do? Will I work in a school? Will I assist in running an orphanage? Will I travel about with my husband assisting him as he serves the medical needs of the communities? Will we join an existing ministry or start one of our own? Where will the Lord direct me specifically? How will the Lord prepare me for the days of battle? There are so many questions and I don't have any answers; but I do have faith. I know that our Lord will direct me. I know that He will prepare me for His victory. That is exciting!
Until next time. Cindy
