Uganda 2011

This time next week I will be in London, England waiting to board a plane to Entibee, Uganda for a 10 day mission trip. I cannot wait to get there! Our team leader, Kevin Hoke, has warned us about the spiritual warfare that we would encounter prior to this trip, but I didn't really believe that is would happen to me. (One would think that after things my life, I'd know...)Well, he was right. It hit last Saturday in the form of my plans not happening like I wanted them to and my glasses and camera breaking and the shingles off the north side of my rent house completely being peeled off during that freakish storm we had yesterday. Then I remembered the words of Jesus, "Who of you has ever added a day to your life by worrying?". I have to have a lot of talks with myself. Here's what they sound like: "April, just deal with this little annoyance and move on. Don't let Satan get a foothold on your joy. He's trying to push his way in and He's not welcome." Crazy I know, but it works. So, next time I freak out, please remind me to have a talk with myself! More updates to come on the mission trip!
