The toughest question for me to answer when I'm talking to friends and family back home is "When are you going to move back to the U.S." The past month I have been wrestling with God regarding my future in Uganda. At one point, I found out that there were openings for teachers at my old school, Hillcrest. As a result, I considered moving back to California and giving up being a missionary. In that time as I begged God to allow me to return to what I consider a normal environment, God gave me a resounding "NO" as an answer for my plea to return home to the U.S. He revealed to me how selfish that would be and challenged me in that area of my life.
So I chose to be obedient and remain in Uganda for at least one more year. I'm confident that it's where God wants me, even though it's not really where I want to be. So instead of taking an easy road out and facing consequences of disobedience to the Lord, I take the tougher route and begin the last year of my commitment in Uganda. Does it mean I'm moving home in a year? I'm not quite sure yet. There are a lot of things that I'm investigating right now with some friends that might keep me here longer, but I can guarantee that if I'm doing the same things next year that I've been doing over the past 2 years, I will most likely be back in the U.S.
Please pray that God will help sustain me through this year and that He will reveal my future to me.
