I have a secret!

I am the daydreamer type. Always have been! I landed in Uganda and was overwhelmed with tears as we made our way to the van. We all held hands and prayed. I don't even KNOW what they said because I cried the whole time. And believe me, those Ugandans pray for A LOOOOONG TIME. So I knew then that I would move there. So I started daydreaming almost instantly :)

Right before I left, George and I discussed how life-changing the trip was for me and we tossed around the idea about how we could bless someone else with a trip there. So we decided in July that someone would come back with me at the end of the year. Plans fell through because they were OUR plans. Instead of selling the jewelry and giving away a trip, God had us build a school. And now God has us filling that school.

But we're gonna make it happen after a big fundraiser in March and we'll be giving away a trip. We will bring to fruition what we planned in July. Right there in the village. Around the time those stupid rats freaked me out. The only catch is that there aren't any hotel rooms. You've already seen the restrooms, so there might not be any entries, but God is going to bring ONE of you to the village.

Y'all ready for this? I will be bringing back jewelry to sell in late Feb, early March and ONE OF YOU will be going to THE Bugabo Village. If you have sponsored a child, you will have the chance to meet that child and his/her family. How often do you get to do THAT? For FREE? I have wanted to share this for so long but because God kept changing our direction, it just didn't make sense to. I was going there in October to profile the 100 children to start in the new school, bring back some jewelry (and George - haha), do some fierce fundraising, and "give away" a trip to someone for Christmas! But God had other plans for that as well. He gave me an additional 120 kids :)

The ONLY reason I'm throwing it out there now is because God whispered in my ear to reward the people that have chosen to help me out over the past few weeks with these 220 children that He has put in my path. Because He could do all of this by Himself. But He chose ME and YOU. Not the person in front of you, or behind you, or beside you. YOU. So people have already started to get FREE entries into it. They just don't know it :) Are YOU one of them? I'll let you know for Christmas!!!

Maybe you'll be more surprised than I was on this Christmas :) There are so many things wrong with this picture that I don't know where to start!!!
