Wednesdays are now the day that we visit Kahama – and the family that through us, in conjunction with St Mary’s Church Stebbing and Kigezi Baptist Church, God is trying to lift out of poverty, unemployment, malnourishment, ill-health and despair. There was an old saying about…
……….and God’s amazing goodness. This Lord of mine, this Jesus, never, ever fails me. His plan for my life is SO VERY DIFFERENT from my plan for my life!! And so, so, so, so, so, so much better. Albeit very busy, totally frantic, ridiculously varied…
I am happy. Not ecstatically and temporarily happy. Not victoriously, aggressively, arrogantly happy – just happy. I have finally got to a place where I am not worrying about tomorrow…………. Because I have finally got to a place where I trust God with my life…
