Uganda is...closer.
I know I am not prepared mentally, emotionally, and perhaps physically for this adventure. That lack will push me to rely on the One who gives me all that I need.
Sara Jean: I love you! Your support, prayer, and love puts energy and power in this body of mine. I need you. Thank you for encouraging this path for me. I will return a better man, husband, leader, and friend.
To my amazing students: I know we talk about editing and proofreading before publishing. I will do my best to use the writing skills needed to communicate well. But some of the thoughts and ideas that are displayed in this blog may need to just be written the way I feel them. So look at this as a journal or a conversation on paper. I will make mistakes... and that is the least of my concerns right now. Maybe one of you can edit these blogs with correct spellings and punctuation to help me publish it one day. I love each of you and am excited to share this jouney with you. Thank you again for raising so much money to help put me here in Uganda. I will represent Antelope Trails Elementary School's IB Profiles and Attitudes to the best of my ability. I can't wait to return to you!
Family and Friends: Thank you for all you have done to support this trip financially and prayerfully. I can't wait to return and share this experience with you.
As I sit here in the spare bedroom of my comfy relaxing town-home typing this I know something massive is coming. Something is going to transform what I know about life, what I expect from life, and more importantly...what life will be able to expect from me. It is almost like I am looking at the last days my American-boy worldview. In less than a month it will all change.
With a humble heart, a willingness to learn, an impending broken heart, and an open mind to see the beauty of another culture I eagerly await my time in Uganda.
