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!

before the wedding(morning) and posting the day after while speaking in future tense! wohoo!
Hello again everyone! I hope your week has been great! Mine has.
So right now im getting ready to go to a wedding (its still morning right now. I will probably finish this at night!
Just a few things on my mind:
My dream(pretty intense. And a little disturbing. Haha I dreamt that I was an assassin and then I was on a duel trip with this other assassin and she went against me. And it was this epic fight against both of us. )
Taking a shower
Having new bed sheets is nice.
Having breakfast in my room.
How I cleaned my “house” (its two rooms and a bathroom. A sitting room, a bedroom, and el Baño. aka The bathroom ) and now its livable
A few things on my heart:
Getting back home
Teaching after college
Taking with my family ( fam and my best friends. )
Christmas, the birth of Jesus not just presents
Where the direction of my band is going. And the music behind it.
Being around a group of people who Love music and not just like it a lot.
Not having to be carful about cultural subtleties.
Remembering how I Love God, and remembering that as a result I love people. And I love these people
Ok. I just want you all to know that though there are something’s I don’t really like about being here. The Love God has for all people blots out anything that i don’t like.
I love these people and theres so much more I like about them than what I dislike.
But I think that everywhere there are things I don’t like. (I think that’s anywhere and with anyone) when you filled with the love of God he takes away all the things that are small and don’t matter, sometimes they are big things but when we look to God for shelter he’ll give it to you. If you seek Gods Love you will in turn love others without boundaries. But the thing I have been learning over here is that we have to Love God always. All the time, and give everything to him. Now, we hear these things and we really don’t understand what it means. It means calming down, it means not freaking out in times of trouble, it means putting our humanly instincts of fear and anger aside and not worrying about things even if we are about to be put in danger and know that God is in control and that His judgment is just, and not ours. What we think is right isn’t always the will of God kind of like revenge and expecting payment for things done wrong to us, or even thinking of it. Everything starts in our thoughts so even if we don’t carry out the things that we know are wrong we keep building up these bad thoughts until we actually do them. And the we wonder how we got to that state of being… you see, the devil plays with our emotions and uses them against us in the worst way, and we sometimes don’t even notice it. So we have to walk with Christ as our safeguard against the devil remember that in the gospels Jesus Christ raised the bar on what sin is. Its not just doing it but thinking about it.
Now, we have this connotation on the word “sin” as for when we here it, we think of people slamming bibles down and saying (in a southern televangelist voice that “heals” people and rids them of “demons”) “Turn Away From Sin!!! Be Healed!” and then he puts his hand on your head and pushes you to the floor… yeah…
The word sin actually means (you archers out there know what im talking about) to miss the mark. Pretend we are shooting an arrow and there is a target, the target is God and we shoot it about 300 feet to the left at someone eating a hot dog piercing the hot dog throwing it out of their hands and on the ground. All because a pretty girl walked by. Or a guy if you’re a girl… or maybe if your not. (hopefully not the case)
We have to go against our sin nature and we can because of Christ, remember that we are Sanctified by the blood (aka the death) of Christ, who conquered death and rose again, and who became the perfect sacrifice and died for the sins of us all who was the ONLY one to live a sinless life. Read philipians chapter 2 Vs. 6-11.
Really the whole book (not that big you can do it in one small sitting. )
Anyway, I have to take a shower.
Ok so im finishing this a day later. I have pictures too. But I think ill wait to put them on on a later time (probably tomorrow )
Anyway. I had an awesome time at the wedding and it was a lot of fun!
I hope you all have fun and are going to have an awesome time this week in the name of Jesus.
