Uganda 2017: Part 2

This part of the story, we're gonna get up close and personal.

So, I would like to start off by stating that grasping the fact that when I went home, nothing would be the same. Ever. And during the trip, the team and I had every morning to debreif about the day before.

Every time, I sat down and thought, or had a moment of silence, I thought about two things. The first: how deep and true God is. Every time I looked at the girls at the Childvoice Center, I thought about what they had been through in their past. And then I thought about how they still dance and sing praises to God. Even though what they had been through was so tragic and heartbreaking. They still praised him. That was both humbling and uplifting.

The second thing I thought about was how selfish I was, and how many people in America don't know about the inimaginable things that happen in the world. I have personal stuggles at home that people can't even begin to comprehend. So, when I thought about telling people these things, I immediately knew they wouldn't understand. It is one of those things where you have to see to truly understand. I became dissapointed that my loved ones at home wouldn't be able to truly understand everything that I had been able to experiance.

I am now struggling with the fact that so many people that I see every day, don't understand that buying a $4.00 coffee in the morning could feed a whole family for at least a month! People who complain about having to go to school-even though kids in camps would give anything to go to school and get an education.

I would like to end this by asking you to pray for people all over the world-rich or poor. Thank you so much for your guys support.
