Rebecca praying for our latest case Diana and her husband. |
It is very important to understand the voice of God in a christian walk.I believe God has a purpose for every believer and He is pretty clear when He calls you fr service.There are times of preparations and times of presentation. My husband Jeff loves this statement and he often says it,"THERE IS PREPARATION BEFORE PRESENTATION."Yes he is right.One thing I have come to learn is that,"Preparation is not easy most times" This is because it requires lots of practice,discipline and hard work to achieve whatever the goal is;and this is where most children of God do not want to go.
Although preparation is sometimes unpleasant,it is a very important part for anyone who has a goal to achieve.

God will never force His way into your life,He is a gentle God,He calls and it is up to us to answer.Then,we set off for the preparation time,this stage depends on you,it is about how much you surrender to Him,the more you surrender,the quicker the preparation time.
When The Lord put this call on my heart "Woman In Crisis",I certainly knew it was not a joke and I wasn't ready to go in for any jokes after clearly understanding God's voice,my human side kept on asking me if it is really God,and my spirit side was rested that it was God.My human feared all the hard work and worried about where in the world I would afford to stand with these precious women who are in pain;my spirit rejoiced that God chose on me to go and reach out to these souls that are in pain,to bring hope to them.
Yes,my human had all the logic side alert and the facts and realities of life presented themselves right from the first visit i made to the hospital,the needs were overwhelming,my human asked,how far I thought I was going to go with this.My spirit side said GOD IS ABLE,WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE .So I set off with whatever God had provided for the start up.
Rebecca praying for a mother and her baby |
I had to really work very hard,I had no one to go with me,help me visit someone else while I am visiting another woman in the hospital,run and buy drugs in the town,or go and purchase necessities for the baby and or the mother,I had to do all these,I did it with lots of joy in my heart.Many gave their lives to Christ,many received hope,.... I thank Go for that.He sent so many people to stand with me and their contributions were simply overwhelming to me,so many women in need,and God faithfully providing for their medical,food,water,clothing,blankets and transport plus Bibles through all of you who have been faithfully sending your help.This set me on fire,the needs were there,and the solutions were there too.I couldn't imagine how God was working through this,all I wanted was to work more and more.

BUT ,I felt like Moses in the Bible,when;he had to attend to all the needs of the Israelite and while he thought that is exactly what God wanted him to do,God clearly spoke to him through his father in law Jethro. And the later advised Moses accordingly.I can remember a few of you my friends telling me I need time for myself and my family too.Thank you for telling me those words,it was God speaking to me through you all my Jethros,but it was not easy,I was alone,I couldn't stop,not everyone is willing to go to the hospital,I tried to ask some friends to join me,but they were very reluctant. I had to push on,joyfully. My spirit was at its pick.
God is a caring Father indeed,He knew what I needed,and I was unaware of the need,all i knew was what I wanted "To work hard and help these women,God my Father knew I needed people to stand with me.This became more pronounced when two friends from Oklahoma came to volunteer with WIC ,they were involved in every area,I felt my strength being renewed,I felt a lot of strength in my arms while we were working together,when they left,I felt like I couldn't work alone anymore,God begun showing me the need for Teamwork.I got the point,He wanted me to feel the sweetness of working together. HMMM!It took me some time to regain my posture after they left.Thank you so much,you made me feel the need for partners.Then shortly later on,another team came to volunteer and work with me at the hospital,an another and another, I felt that need increase again.you girls all made me understand that if I went on alone that way,I would break before I achieved the goal and vision of WIC.I miss all of you so much
.All the teams that came and contributed physically,emotionally,financially,psychologically,all the people who have sent any kind of support and your prayers really meant a lot to us.God is using all of us together.
This month God has brought me these two beautiful ladies to work with me,it has come from deep their hearts,they have lifted my arms,i dont feel weak any more,God has provided me with His daughters to come and stand with me in this,they are officially staff members of WIC, their first visit was awesome,they did it ,I feel my heart is full of joy,knowing that I am not alone here in Uganda,this vision of WIC will stand.Rebecca and Rashel are answers to my prayers.God bless you.
Everything that you are doing with us is highly appreciated.All our partners there,you are our answered prayers.
