Crying Out for More

4:00 AM, in a distance I can hear drums beating and chants yelling. The morning ritual. Not exactly sure what village near by does this but I've heard it every morning since we have been in Arua. Usually it doesn't keep me up but this morning my mind started thinking and I couldn't fall back to sleep.

Have you ever longed for more? We only have two weeks left and I don't want to miss out on anything God has in store for us while we are in Uganda.

As I cry out to the Lord I am met with thunder, lightening, strong winds and then rain. It's 5:30 AM now and my heart burns within me. God wants us to hunger after Him. God doesn't ever want us to grow complacent or looking to the next thing. Instead He wants us to press in right where we are at. He wants to speak, He wants us to hear His voice.

Over the last week we've had multiple opportunities to share God's amazing news with multiple schools and to a class that teaches girls tailoring skills.  God has shown up every time as we've had to be flexible in the midst of constant changes.

Yet I still want more. I know we've spoken truth and we've been a blessing (even a few hours helping clean latrines on base). Yet the vision that I had on our way to Arua has not yet been fulfilled. And the blind man that Esperanza talked about being healed before we left for Uganda has not yet been healed.

I want more. Since arriving in Arua I've heard story after story of many young Ugandan girls being lured into prostitution to help pay their school fees or to just put food on their tables. What more can I do? I'm crying out this morning. Will you cry out with me? Will you storm the gates of heaven with your prayers? We are here for two more weeks. What more does God have in store for us? How else does He want to use us? What strongholds need to be broken?

YOU are VITAL in this process. Your prayers are what pave the way. Please lay hold of this vision and push into prayer with us!! Thank you!
