Back in the U.S.

Newsflash:

I'm back in the U.S. That's my new puppy above. Her name is Meg. She's a mix between Great Pyrenees and Commondore. She will be BIG when she grows up. Here's what I sent to supporters:

Dear friends, family, and supporters,

You deserve to know that I am no longer on the field in Uganda. An emergency arose last week which required my immediate evacuation. There is no intention for me to return to Uganda because of the trauma I experienced. While the original plan was for me to come home in May, this is the new plan. Thankfully, I returned safely to my family in Tennessee, where I'll stay until moving to start medical school in August.

Though I planned to be there eight months, God only needed half that time to accomplish what he willed. I'm reminded of Proverbs 16:9: "In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." It is difficult for me to convey to you how I ministered there, as I was unaware of how God was using me in the lives of those I loved. From the testimonies of my fellow teammates, I'm realizing that my ministry supported the long-term work in Mbarara many times over what I could have imagined.

I look forward to sharing with you about the ministries that I was blessed to be a part of in Uganda. I may be making a trip to Mississippi in late February, so I hope to see you then!

My attention span is short and I need to get to the posta before it closes, so I'll put more up later. But I do say AMEN to all the scripture posted on my friend's blog (which isn't allowing me to comment). See Psalm 121..Ecclesiastes..oh just go read it on "Go therefore"
