the past few days

So for the last few days I have been in and out of town. Its been kinda fun! Walking around freely, not alone but freely, its really great and I know my way around too. I’ve been here for a while so I really should.
But a few days ago I investigated two recording studios. The first one I went to is amazing! Well. I mean it’s an ok studio but for here it’s a great studio and its good for what we have here in mbale.
The second one … not so much. But it was ok and it had some good equipment, like a good keyboard. But I really liked the first one a lot. It had a decent Condenser large diaphragm mic and a window from the control room to the room where people sing and stuff. And I think I will really get a good deal with these guys too. There Christians and they have a few people going to the bible college im teaching at. So that’s cool.

Im actually really excited about it too. I don’t know why. I think it’s the feeling of recording in an actual studio instead of just at home. Haha
Meow mix. Its morning.
I don’t know how I feel. I had another weird dream again last night. But its not because of medicine. I think satan is really hammering me with intense thoughts at night, Because I never had crazy dreams a week ago and that’s about the same time on my malaria medication. So im sure its not that. But I think its because im counseling some people in the way of the lord. So pray for that. Pray that I stay focused. Because im not done yet. In fact im kind of behind now because this whole week theres been hut to hut evangelism and crusades in the evening (which ive been playing drum set at. Actually a lot of fun. I have some pictures too)
Its now not morning but night.
I had a good day. I just decided to buy that flash disk. I called it “sheep drive” haha yay for heeps of sheep. And I bought it at the same place as last time except this time I sent one of my friends to go in first and get the real price and not the muzungu price(white guy who must have tons of money price) and I got it for 10,000 uganda shillings which is like 6 or 7 dollars. Which here, is a lot. Haha.

Im really excited to go home actually. But im not feeling like Im sad because I want to go home I just like that I get to go home. I think anyone would be excited to go home. For what is home? It truly is a place you go to at the end of the day, to be surrounded by your family no matter the condition of your family because it’s the good times we hold to and hope for and the bad times we persevere through.

It takes me a few days to write these things sometimes before they get to the computer with internet. Its now morning of the day after yesterday. Or Friday, November 28, 2008. Anyway… here are my thoughts
Wow so its 14 days. 14 days till I go to Kenya anyway with my dad. Then I go home on the 17th. (or something like that. ) I think I mentioned this but we are going on a safari. But im having second thoughts about it and I kind of want to go home on the 12th. Anyway… I don’t know. Im starting to anticipate the homeward direction. Things are going to be so different. So different.

Ive really been struggling with weather I even have feelings of my own… because I catch myself feeling things that I don’t want and then I know that the devil is just playing with my feelings and I feel like when ever I feel something I feel wrong doing so. Im so confused. Is it wrong to think about people(not in a lustful manner that’s not what I mean, I guess its hard to explain… just keep reading)? And I feel like it is because its distracting to the plan that God has but at the same time I don’t know if its just spiritual warfare or if its genuine feelings. Because after all if everything comes from God that is good (which don’t get me wrong is very great and is awesome and I love being filled with the holy spirit because I know that I am pure and I do things that honor God) are the feelings that come with them ours? Or are they Gods?
In the same sense, when we do things that are bad we feel bad. And I know that its our sin nature that does that. And the devil just comes in and amplifies it.

Does anything come from me? But does it really matter if it is from us? After all life on this earth is temporary and we were built to Love God and worship him for eternity. Maybe im just thinking about this too hard. I don’t know. I ask that you pray for clarity and understanding for me here…
Anything I can pray for you about? Big or small, bad or not, public or private, I will pray and you can trust that I will pray for you, even here in Africa.

So I was just reading one of my old blogs (I type them up on my computer then transfer them to another computer. ) and I was writing about how Jesus had feelings. Jesus was fully human and fully God at the same time. How crazy. So that means that if he had feelings because he was fully human, so do we. Cool. Im smiling right now. I thank God for that reminder. Thanks!
