Pre-Uganda Journal 2

It feels like our trip to Uganda is very quickly approaching. It's been so amazing to see all the ways that God is providing for us, financially, and also with so many people encouraging us, praying for us, and helping in a number of other ways. Yesterday a dear friend from church offered to put together our medical kit for the trip---one less thing to think about! Last week another friend made a skirt for Rebecca (we have to wear skirts the whole time we're there), and has offered to do more for her. God has been so good to us! I also feel like I am beginning to get some concrete ideas about what to do for the 3-day women's conference/teaching I'll be leading....Little by little it's coming together. Today, two people offered to help with our spaghetti dinner fundraiser on March 4. God is just showing me time & again that He provides whatever we need when He calls us to do something. I am particularly excited for Rebecca right now. Last week she had a "glimpse" class on liturgical dance at school, and on Friday, her group helped to lead chapel at school. For anyone who knows her, this is not exactly her comfort zone----but she did really well. When she came home, she asked whether that was something she could do while we're in Uganda, so I ran it by Tim & Angie (the missionaries who are hosting and directing our trip), and they were very excited about it. Rebecca will be able to teach her song to some Ugandan children, and together they'll be able to participate in a worship service there. It is exciting for her to have something concrete to prepare for this trip, too.
