A Glorious Ending to a Wonderful Day!

My last entry was on the Joy Modern school and their incredibly dire circumstances.  This is how we started the day today and it was tough.  I can't remember feeling that kind of emotional distress.  We left there and headed back to Kampala to pick up bibles because we had run out.  This was a good thing and I think it served to re-focus our attention on the mission that God had sent us on.  After picking up the bible we then picked up a small swimming pool to perform baptisms in on Saturday.
As a result of doing these errands we were late getting back to our own bible study!  I was worried that those who had been coming would lose faith in us.  I don't like making promises that aren't kept.  I worried about it all the way back to the village.  We finally arrived an hour late and I expected a small crowd.  What I saw instead filled me with great joy!  Instead of leaving or hanging out so that they could take the opportunity to give me a piece of their mind they were having a praise and worship meeting!!!  They were just loving God with music,dancing, and prayer!!!
We (Patrick, George, and I) walked in and we began.  We prayed and started the meeting and before I could even start teaching people started coming down to the front asking to be saved.  Two, five, eight, ten, FOURTEEN!  Whaaaat, are you kidding me God????  Ridiculous (thanks to Francis Chan for his description there).
So, here it is - Thursday afternoon in Uganda....Africa..... you know on the equator!  Its the hottest part of the day and they have been praising and singing for something close to an hour!  Now, before we start teaching they want to be saved....at a bible study!! Did I mention that there were 130 people there? Oh, I really love my God!!!!
So this was our Thursday.  It was a roller coaster ride, both physically (thanks George) and spiritually (thanks God).  In the end I come to the same conclusion.  I have nothing to do with any of this!!  God, is working right now, right here and I can physically see him!!  I see him in smiles, in dancing, in singing, and today I saw him even in despair.
I am nothing without my God and I am right where I pray he keeps me!!!
