Ladies Retreat

I know it has been a few weeks since I have posted an updated and I was trying to figure out how time got away on me.  My conclusion has been that life takes work here.  Even the everyday things.  I know I don't have to wash clothes my hand or even bake my own bread but most things just take more effort.   I think I have mentioned before, that even just getting groceries can be a long process.  That and it has been birthday season in our family and the little extras that we try to do to make their day special also fills up the days.  I'll post a blog about our celebrations next time.

I did want to share with you some highlights from a ladies retreat that I had the opportunity to attend a couple weekends ago.  It had been organized by a few of the missionary ladies here as an encouragement and refreshing time for ladies who are serving here in Uganda.  There were 50 of us, mostly from the Kampala area, but also some from the more northern regions, all desiring to seek God fully in a time of retreat and refreshment.

Some of these women serve in hard places and have been through some deep struggles, but all of us needed the reminder that when we walk in faithfulness to God, we will grow to know Him deeper and fuller.   We may not see the full results of our serving, even in our lifetime, but God is still at work and will be faithful to do all that He has promised.
