Kwagala-the word for Love in Luganda
One of my biggest struggles with having complete faith is lacking any justification to be inpatient, to be in wonder, to be worried, or question the steps we are taking, because it's no longer the doing of us but the trust in God to fulfill his perfect will and whatever it may be. Trying to sum up in words what we have been doing in Uganda, the relationships we have made and the passion that lights the fire deep within our souls, seems so inadequate compared to the love that we have felt. It's a love that aches when we are apart from our Ugandan family. A love that has a song, in which it sings in a space deeper than my heart, but too tangible to just be my soul. It is empty of words but full of pictures and sounds of the children I have fallen head over heals for. My song has tears that have fallen, from when we have had to leave not only our family and friends in Uganda, but also our son. My song has a smell, like that of the sweet oils perspiring off hundreds of children faces, after running and playing on the school yard. My song mimics the chants of little voices with the richness of their Luganda accent, yet such an innocent sweet voice in which is barely loud enough to hear. For the space inside me is not empty, but overfilling with a need to share, a need to expand my vocabulary to even begin to describe this love, a need to hear a new sound, so I can explain what this song sounds like. Even the word love can't describe the aching to return, the fear and anxiousness of the thought and anticipation of when and how we can receive William, and the wonder of how we can continue to return. For what I knew of love here, is what I have discovered as true Kwagala in Uganda. It is what fills my veins, and has flooded every part of my being. December 29th, we have a team joining us in returning back home to Uganda. We may bring home our boy, or we may not, but the mission is still the same. Injustice still prevails and so our weapon of Christ's furious love still continues to burn. Though we have tickets, our funds much lack to support us on this mission and even more so, to complete the transfer of guardianship and the adoption of William. We will continue on as our Kwagala continues to conquer all doubt and fear. We ask for so much prayer around our health here and while in Uganda, our mission with the team and the adoption of William.
