LIGHTING up the old & new year(s)

We celebrated New Years Eve with the GSF family by lighting floating lanterns. It was a fun celebration and I think the kids were confused and too excited that they thought our camera flashes were “the lights!” 

The lights reminded me of the verse in Matthew 5:16

“Let your light shine before men in a such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven”

I pray (& please pray for me), like the floating lights/lanterns we set off on NYE, that God will continually use me as a light to the people at GSF, to the people in Buundo village, to the people in Uganda, to the people in this world. That is my prayer for myself, that the last 10 months I’ve been here, the remaining 2 months I have left here, and for the rest of my life (wherever I am) that God would use me as His light to bring glory and praise to Him.
