Cheerio ....

(I will be blogging my journal entries from my trip to Uganda. It will take a while to get them all to you... so bear with me. They are the real me... my real emotions. Sometimes they are not too positive... they show my struggles and concerns. They most definitely show my weaknesses. Enjoy... )

As I began this day I was convinced I was marrying a Brit and living in London. As I am ending this day I am completely convinced that will not happen unless I win the lottery. wow.. its expensive here.


With that slight complaint aside.. today has been wonderful. We wondered down the streets of London soaking in all the impeccable architecture all around us. I was able to see Big Ben, West Minister Abby, The London Rye, Buckingham Palace, and so much more. I felt and still feel as if I was dreaming.


My favorite part of the day was being greeted by "cheers" or "cheerio". Eating fish and chips made it feel like a legit London experience.


Through all of these amazing experiences my mind still was working hard. Today I missed mothers day and my moms birthday. I have wished I was with her every second of this day. I have prayed and prayed and prayed she knows how much she is loved and understands what a amazing example she is. She is... without a doubt... the strongest person I know.


Though all these thoughts I have meditated on how blessed I am. Not only with a God sent family.. but with amazing experiences God practically threw in my lap. So blessed to be in London right now.


Side Note:


Today on the train back to the airport a man about 28 or so sat beside me. I constantly wanted to talk to him. I began reading through Galatians and I could see him glaring over at me. His headphones were in, so I never spoke to him (verbally). I began to pray God open a door for me to witness to him... and in the midst of my prayer... I fell asleep. When we arrived to our destination I woke up and he was in the isle staring at me.


I am praying the sight of Galatians sparked some curiosity in him and that God place someone in His life to give him whatever answers He may need.
