How then shall we live?

As a Christian, how should I be living my life? I have to ask myself this question sometimes. In the middle of this crazy, fast paced world that we are living in, I still want my answer to remain the same - my life should be lived for God and for others. This semester I will be studying in Rwanda and Uganda, and doing mission work with Food for the Hungry. These next few months I want to make a drastic change in my life by living not for myself, but for others. Through my studies and my interactions I hope to find a new and better understanding of what it means to be a child of God. I want to leave with no question in my mind that there is so much more to my life than my own happiness. I want to make my Creator proud, by loving his children.

Rain!

Every morning we pray for rain. It has been unusually dry in Kitgum these last few years - a disaster for a community that relies on agriculture.

It started pouring half an hour ago. Rain is such a blessing. I was so happy for the cool air that blew into the office. I had to get up and stand on the porch to watch it fall for a few minutes. Everyone else had taken cover, but I was the crazy mzungu that wanted to feel the rain on my face. Rain has such a rejuvenating effect on the world. I feel completely refreshed.

Pray that the rain continues. We really need it out here.
