Sorry it has taken me so long to write an update. February has been very quiet for me. I am still helping to care for Malia. I have been trying to find an organization to volunteer for here in Jinja and it has become a slow process.
I have met some amazing people in the short time I have been here. God has blessed me with amazing Godly woman to talk to. God is teaching me patients and living from day to day. Taking everyday as it comes and not worrying about the future. He is reminding me that the future is in his hands and he'll take care of it if i let him. So I am learning to let go and trust God because I know he only wants what's best for me and I want to be in his will. Jeremiah 29:11.
On Saturday I was awakened by a thunderstorm at 6am. It was glorious, I realized at that time how much I miss rain! When you grow up in a place that is rainy 80% of the time you get pretty used to it. Then you come to a place that See's rain maybe a fourth of that, it's a little overwhelming, Oh and HOT!!! :) But I think I have been blessed over the last couple of days because I woke up this morning and once again it was raining! :) I was happy! Then I got the crazy idea that I'd be awesome to go running in the rain... So that is precisely what i did. :) I got soaked and it was fabulous!
I have been able to go to Amani more and that is wonderful. I get to see "my Babies"and play with the kids. I love being able to see them and just love on them whenever.
I would ask you to pray for a little boy I met named Joe (not his real name) he is sick with TB, HIV, and now pneumonia. This little boy has touched my heart. He is always happy and has a smile and hug waiting for me every time I see him. I have never heard him complain about being sick or being in pain. He has encouraged me so much and I would love it if you all could help me with prayers. I know God has a plan for this little boy and I know that he will always be in his hands. Please pray that he will get better and God would take his pain away, whatever that may look like. I have shed many tears over this little one and God has been reminding me constantly that he Love's him more than i and that Joe is in his hands, where he needs to stay.
I will need to make a trip to Kenya soon to renew my visa. It will cost $50.00 for three months. I will also need money for transport. I'm not sure how much that will be but I'll keep you posted as time gets closer.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support!
In Christ,
Rochelle
