The seed I've received I will sow

It’s starting to feel real now – seeing packed bags everywhere, organising a million things and having foreign currency on hand. Yip. It’s happening. It seems like it’s been a lifetime of waiting, preparing, growing for this very moment. While we’re just going for 16 days this time, we know it’s the next step in what Gods called us to do & it’s hard to believe that after waiting so many years the time has finally come! We feel humbled beyond words by the support of people that believe in what God has called us to do enough to enable us to do it – we truly feel like we’re part of a team.

I want to share about all the absolutely miraculous ways God has provided for us but have run out of time now, so that may need to wait til another post, but take my word for it – there’s 2 things we’ve been learning: you can’t put God in a box, no matter how big the box is you make for him! And if you want to see God move, you’ve got to step out and do something so big that you can’t do it on your own – if Gods in on it, he’ll move mountains if need be.

We're filled with anticipation about what God is going to do while we’re in Uganda & knowing that once again, God can’t be boxed, so we’re up for anything! but don’t worry Carlee - we plan to take VERY good care of your boy!

One more sleep, and if I stay on here much longer I won’t even get that! So I’ll leave you with Brooke Frasers ‘Desert Song’ of which two lines have been living on my bathroom wall for the last year!

“I know I’m filled to be emptied again,

the seed I’ve received I will sow”

This is my prayer in the desert

When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness, or trial, or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on it's way
I am a conquerer and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

All of my life in every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the harvest
Where favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow
