When we moved to Uganda, we never dreamed of the ways that God would provide for all our needs, and then go above and beyond and put us in a place that meets our children’s interests so perfectly. No matter where we live, often as parents we question the effect our decisions will have on our children. Moving here was no exception. In fact it’s something we talk about often. While we slowly learn a new familiar, we will always be learners in a culture so different to our own, and yet, God knowing each of our kids passions, through His amazing grace has given us the huge gift of seeing our children being able to nurture their interests in ways we would never have imagined possible. Uganda has two motorcross tracks and we live close to one of them. Big deal you might say. Yes it’s a big deal! When my son who was born loving motorbikes unexpectedly gets to do the one thing he loves the most, that does a parents heart good. Even though my heart skips beats when he races, I love that he can do this. That despite the things he has had to leave behind, he gets this one thing. God is good. Truly.
Another upside is we get to mix with a whole other group of people we would never have had the opportunity to mix with otherwise. I love that Joe’s number is 116 – chosen from Romans 1:16 “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of Salvation for everyone who believes…”
Go 116!
