This morning I got disturbing news that the childrens home was being sprayed because of cockroaches being found in babies beds…. Yuck!!!! When I think of a cockroach I think of those Huge long beetle looking things, but apparently these things are small…. And now that I think about it, last night before I went to bed I saw this strange looking bug in my hallway, it was black with lots of legs and long antennas…. And as I walked into my bathroom just now I saw another one…. I think I’m infested, if you see one there’s always more? Right….? Omg I pray it’s a harmless bug!!! I kinda don’t want to sleep tonight now….
My week has been really good! Even though it hasn’t been so good around here, the young girl Petra came home from the hospital today!!! Praise God! She just starting improving over night it seemed, God is crazy good!!! She’s still very weak, but she’ll be walking around in no time, no brain damage or anything! SO my mornings I spend in the kitchen, really getting to know the Aunties that work there, they are really good to me. They make me Ugandian tea every morning, and let me show them how to make things too. Today I made French toast… hehe! Lots of dishes to clean and food to prepare. The gardeners just brought up a bunch of broccoli this week and the ladies don’t know how to cook it, so it’s basically just mush…. So the manager is trying to figure out ways to cook this vegetable, lol!
I also got a tour of the garden today, got Tons of pictures! Which I will post on face book as soon as I get a chance. The whole childrens home can be fed by this garden, any veggie you can grow in this heat is here!
Closer to the end of the day, spent time playing with kids, and had dinner with Pita and Piet watched some Ghost Rider with the kids, and now I’m off to bed. Man what a cheesy show….
My mom has been bugging me to read some of Hebrews, starting at chapter 10, which I should have listened days ago.
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he had promised. For in just a very little while, “He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him. Hebrews 10: 35-38
I kind of feel bad now that I had feelings of going home early and not wanting to be here. I’m here because this is Gods plan! And I could have ruined it because I was home sick! There are people here who are supporting me and asking how I’m doing, that’s what I should have done right away, not cried in my room about it. I feel like God just smacked me straight…. I guess we all need it now and then, or we wouldn’t need Him.
It’s funny how you guys also gave me verses from Hebrews… maybe I should read the whole thing. Thankyou for your comments of encouragement!!!
Love you all
Brenna
