Ignite IBS
Psalm 5:3
In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
So this is the first IBS that I've done in Uganda. I've been here 6 days and it's been busy but relaxing at the same time. Busy in the since of adapting to a new culture and relaxing in the sense of the first week being more of a settle in and adjust week. So now to get down to business. Why I picked this verse. The reason I picked this verse is because I've been slacking on my relationship with God. I haven't been doing my devotions alot of the time and when I do, it's like my hearts not in it. And when I pray, I get side-tracked so easily and lose my focus on what I'm doing. I think the reason for all of this ties back in to the first part of this paragraph. I've been adjusting to these new rules and new people. In Guatemala, things were so strict and structured, but Uganda's just not like that. Here in Uganda, they treat us like men. There's no curfew, no specific wake up time, and no baby-sitting eachother. It's pretty much, as long as you do what you're supposed to do than there's no problems. So what I'm saying is I love it here!! But at the same time, I have to be honest with myself by saying I'm takking too much advantage of it by slacking on my relationship with God which is nobody fault but mine. Which leads to my application.
Application.
Tomorrow is our day off and the day we all sleep in but I'm going to get up at the butt-crack of dawn, climb our water tower (calm down, it's only like 40 feet tall), and read my Bible, pray, and watch the African sunrise and just spend time with my Father.
