God is sovereign over the weather and over the actions of men. Before the devil attacked Job, he had to ask God's permission. And remember God even said, "have you considered my servant, Job?" So let us be still and know the one thing that is necessary (Lk. 10:42), God is God (Ex.3:14). He shall be exalted among the nations!
Isaiah 45:5-7
"I am the LORD, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. I will gird you, though you have not known Me; That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other, The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these.
"Kampala City Hit by 3 Bomb Blasts"
It is not my intention to alarm anyone. However I know that many of you may hear about the bombs that went off in Kampala last night. I wanted all of you to know that I am ok and was not present. There are 5 med-students from the UK staying at the same guest house with me. They had talked about going but decided not to because one of the girls was not feeling well. So God was merciful to them and protected them. David, one of the men who is working at the dental clinic was there and again God was gracious to him. The blasts came from the front. He was near the back but still the man who was standing behind him was killed. David saw some terrible things.
This has not changed my travel plans though I will be a bit more cautious of large crowds for the remainder of my stay. I fly out of Uganda on the 22nd and will then spend about 10 days in Kenya with the Richs again! I am going with them to Mombassa for a couple days and will be back in Kijabe for about a week before flying home. I land in Charleston just before midnight on August 4th.

Hi Jennie.
ReplyDeleteI know that God is with you wherever you go and that He will see you through everything. He is in control, and your blog is a witness to this. I pray that He will spread angel wings all around you as He protects you from danger.
I appreciate your being careful, and even more careful now with the recent events.
We look forward to seeing you safe and sound in a few weeks. In the meantime I know that God is using you as an able ambassador of His love and mercy and He will work through you to make an eternal impact in the lives of those around you.
I thank God for you and am blessed to be your dad.
Love,
Dad
I hope you are now back with the Rich's. Let us know, when you get a chance.

ReplyDeleteCreighton, Baker and Biaja will be here this weekend. I know you will be home Aug. 5th. I am looking so forward to seeing you. I am getting everything ready. You can rest, eat, visit others, do whatever you want to do. Go to the Maye on the MotherShip. Have some coffee. Watch the birds. I want to hear you tell me what all the Lord has taught you. We can stay up all night, or not. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. I am so excited to see you again. I love you. (Is this too, mushy?...I don't care.)
