Esuubi

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would live and teach in Uganda. I've always dreamed of a life full of extremes, never thought of any impossibility. And as I look back on the past few years, my life has been full of wild dreams and all of them have come to be. I’ve found that I truly can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13).

When you delight yourself in the Lord, He will indeed give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4). When you delight yourself in the Lord, your desires become His desires. My desires have change as I have truly delighted myself in Him. My desire has become to set the world on fire for Him.

I want to love the unloved.
I want to bring hope to the hopeless.
I want to educate the uneducated.
I want to feed the hungry.

As the days wind down of my time out here in Uganda, my heart begins to hurt as I face goodbyes. But I am beyond excited for what the future holds. Because dreams, they seem possible to me. I can do all things through Christ who strengths me. I head back to California with some big dreams that I know are possible. 

I wanna set the world on fire until it’s burning bright for you
It’s everything that I desire, can I be the one you use?
I am small but, you are big enough
I am weak but you are strong enough to
Take my dreams, come and give them wings
Lord with you, there’s nothing I cannot do
I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father’s hands
My hands, my feet, my everything
My life, my love, Lord use me
I wanna set the world on fire

I’m gonna set the world on fire.
