End of a season

There has been a lot of speculation over the last 6 months or so as to what my future plans were. Many people have been asking me and others who know me well what my plans were going to be.

I prayed a lot about this and at one time thought I would commit to stay in Uganda for an extended period of time. However, God never gave me a peace about staying. On one end, I feel like there is so much more work to do here, but in the end though I love so many things about Uganda and the ministry I am working with, I feel God calling me home for the next season. It doesn't mean I am closing the door on returning to Uganda in the future, I am very open to that if it is God's will, but for now I think it's time to return to the U.S.

That being said, I will be returning to the U.S. mid-June to begin the next season of my life. As you all are aware, the economy in the U.S. does not put me in a great position to be able to find a job. I have been researching opportunities to teach and have had a few interviews, but nothing that has progressed further than that. I ask for your prayers in this time of transition, and if you hear of any other open positions in teaching, ministry or otherwise, please think of me.

I have been blessed to be in Uganda for the last 3 years. The easy decision would be to stay as I have developed routines and a way of life here, but I know that God desires to use me at home in the same way that He has used me here in Uganda. Thank you for all your love and support, many of you have a major part in the success of my life as a missionary in Uganda.
