Been praying for all of you as you try to work though all you’ve experienced. It is my prayer that God’s glory will be known through all of your experiences.

Thanks Shaun for your thoughts. I just moved back to the USA after living and working for two years in a slum in east africa. I don’t yet know how to begin living as an American, or how to find my place in this crazy land. Decompressing is a challenge and very much necessary, I am finding myself incredibly grateful for people who have been there and done it and can listen so intently. Praying for the Uganda bloggers!

Wow. Yeah. I’m praying. for each one. In fact, I confess, I prayed it before the trip, too. Come on in LORD and shake our world up until the only one left significant is You.

Thank you Shaun for being a display of His splendor. You have the power to tell and share...and the multiplication of His works through others’ hands is staggering. Keep on telling.

Blessings and prayer,
holly

I went on a mission trip to Manila, Philippines my senior year of HS. I actually went by myself and stayed with a missionary family. I wish I’d had someone in my life at that time who could’ve taught me how to decompress all that I saw and learned. I think the trip, even though it was amazing, might’ve impacted me differently if I’d known how to work through my thoughts and feelings. All that said, I like this post. Thanks.

Well written.

I’ve walked down that path, felt the tossing of everything I thought was “right” and “good,” and ended up in a place that has simply shocked my family and friends.

(But not my God.)

In all my years of mission trips as a youth, I honestly never opened up to God’s ability to use them to change me. They’d become a chance to soak up some sun and get a t-shirt. Up until y’all went to and blogged about Uganda, I hadn’t allowed myself to feel anything for anyone other than myself and those closest to me. As a Christian, that realization sucks. And, b/c I’ve lived in such a superficial Christian bubble for so long, I can tell those around me are struggling with my attempt at change. I’m praying for sure!

Still praying for you and ALL the bloggers. I am also praying for GOOD changes for all of you and that the new bloggers won’t hit a wall …
