My God is Big

Today my heart is full. So very full that it's hard to describe the things that happened today. We continued our bucket ministry this morning at Pastor Dickens church where we distributed 10 buckets. My group had 2 visits. Visit one was to Margaret. She was very thankful for the gifts and so loving as to welcome us into her home and allow us to pray with her. Our second visit was with a woman names Agnes. Oh, Agnes. This woman was one of the highlights of my day. She had a smile on her face the entire time we were there. She was more anxious to talk with us then to even receive the gifts but she gladly took them all. Agnes is a grandmother and her granddaughter was there taking care of her. Jajja (meaning Grandparent) Agnes offered to be Jenny and I's Uganda Grandmother. I will never forget her. We then did some evangelizing and 11 year old Rachel is now my sister in Christ. Since we had a lot of time on our hands when we were done we got the opportunity to go back to Gods Grace. This was so exciting! To be able to love on those kids for a second time made my heart warm. Today I met Jeremiah at the orphanage. Jeremiah, who I saw crying and decided to pick him up in which he immediately stopped crying, is a precious little baby with beautiful eyes. But, as I learned from Mariah the owner of the orphanage, Jeremiah is not a baby... He is actually 2 years old. I was shocked. He was a baby in my eyes. But besides that his story is what broke my heart even more. Jeremiah was found in a dumpster. He had been there for 3 days and has bite marks all over him from the flies eating him during those days. Two months ago they were not sure if he would live. Today he is getting stronger but he is still so small. I love this little boy with all of my heart and it pained me to let him go. Please pray for Jeremiah and all of Gods Grace. Pray that God will bless them abundantly with the supplies and workers that they need to love and support their 90 something children. Tomorrow we visit a different orphanage in a village an hour or so away. I am anxious to see what the Lord does.

By His Love,
Hannah
