WHAT I HAVE LEARNT FROM THE ONE DECADE.

  A DECADE ..ENTERING 2 DIGITS.. Memories are made in my heart as i think through 10 years ago. It starts before then, growing up in a single mum family made me think i did not need a man , but my mum never painted a negative image of men and am so thankful to God about that. As a teenager i always thought it would be cool to have a great job 1 kid and drive a nice car and that was  it. Thankfully i met the Lord and then i became too radical and thought there was no brother who would like to marry a Jesus die hard girl. And i was ok with staying single yeahh ,,, Well i am glad that God thought differently and gifted me with marriage. Both me and Robert  were commissioned by Focus k and Focus U respectively as missionaries to Norway and that is where we met. On first glimpse i saw a preacher who was very biblical but kind and loving. i had never met a caring loving and kind man like him. We became very good friends to a level that i didn't notice when he was interested in a fur
ITS GOOD NEWS.. ITS URGENT.  Its “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” yes that’s the mandate. We are followers of Jesus and just like we follow him we help others follow him.. Are you part of this as a believer? Are you making disciples of all nations? a) Go therefore ... does anybody stay nooo we all go . ITS THE WHOLE CHURCH TAKING THE WHOLE GOSPEL TO THE WHOLE WORLD. You might be asking how do i go? The practice of literally going across cultures as a missionary ,God is still calling people with great or small professions, old and young, married couples or single people to cross cultures and make disciples. 2. The practice of welcoming : The nations we are talking about are living next door. They are here. How intentional are you to get to them in their houses next door .. in our nation right here in Uganda we have millions of refugees that have been brought to us through war. How can you be part of this? its welcoming the missionaries in your home l

RAINBOW BABIES

Its 9 years ago when after being married for 1 year i learnt that i was pregnant, perfect timing indeed and me and Robert celebrated that i was pregnant off course before the journey began of morning sickness and so forth and as soon as i was eight weeks we were talking with my husband how i need to travel to my homeland Kenya from Uganda for this reasons 1. The tummy is not visible so it will be easier than when its all huge.  2. since when the baby comes i wont be able to easily travel this is the best time to travel.  3. I need to go and share the good news with mummy.yap  So i set off for Nairobi on road and i slept all the way through and after arriving in Nairobi i took another three hours trip to my village Karurumo.  I arrived home and 😍my mum was so excited to meet me and then i told her i was 8 weeks pregnant, my mum exclaimed  Whaaaat... not in excitement or supposedly mixed feelings...  Nb/My mum is a retired nurse/midwife.  I then rested and asked if i could go check on

FRUIT CHANGE IS THE RESULT OF ROOT CHANGE

It begins here "Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Math 28;19.  MAKING DISCIPLES. I can only make disciples if i am a disciple myself. How do i become a disciple?  A disciple in the New Testament is simply a Christian.  Acts 11:26 . The day i decided to follow Jesus i became a disciple.  As disciples, we are called to imitate Jesus’ love (Jn. 13:34), his mission (Mt. 4:19), his humility (Phil. 2:5), his service (Jn. 13:14), his suffering (1 Pt. 2:21) and his obedience to the Father (1 Jn. 2:3-6). Since he is our teacher, we are to learn from him and strive in the power of the Holy Spirit to become like him ( Lk . 6:40). This growth in Christ-likeness is a lifelong endeavor

HOW COSTLY CAN IT GET...

HOW COSTLY CAN IT GET? While on a field trip to Kenya the above question kept ringing when I visited our missionaries serving in different parts of the country. I found myself in a bus that was full of “strangers” and I felt my life was at risk especially because I was travelling at night. How strange? When it was prayer time they all got out of the bus and said their evening prayers on the road side. Worst still when you have two Army men to escort our bus. A lot of things went through my mind.   I don’t remember when I last felt as insecure and yes I had to trust God through the journey. On arrival in the morning I was welcomed by several missionaries and servants of God. This month i feature Loyce Naula. An Orthopedics clinical officer serving as missionary in Marsabit Kenya.  ​ Loyce found herself between two unreached people groups Rendiles and Boranas.  The trip to Marsabit was in itself exciting and scaring.   My highlight was when we entered into a discussion

ONE BUT DIFFERENT

 Celebrating my family Today   , our kids are so different from each other and even different from us. Been desiring to create an environment where they can be what God wants them to be. As they grow, I desire that they can engage Dad and me in respectful dialogues where they have the freedom to be different, Candid, vulnerable, and make mistakes, yet love for them remains constant. Strong-willed, bold, confident, very sufficient, independent yet persistent unique...sensitive organized... well, that's what I see now.....  What makes Roy unique? Competent easy-going sympathetic peaceful. Avoids conflicts.... still a curious sense of humor... and sincere.   What makes Bernice Unique? We are both different from these two lives,,,   checking how I have expressed who they need to be becoming, for now trusting God with their lives.  As for me,, am here happy with who I am becoming in Christ.... true-faced.

VIEWING THEM THE WAY GOD VIEWS ME...

WHAT A  GREAT CALLING.. Lately been thinking through my greatest calling, Parenting and decided to ponder pretty much and yes i want to ponder right there.   Outside my house i am an excellent Director, public speaker,couch and a consultant in many things, inside my house when i assume my role as a mother and wife these roles have a way of making me feel horrible and bringing the worst out of me. well i guess this is where the rubber meets the road.  I see little children born sinners, without being taught how to do bad they assumed the role very early. ideally i am supposed to respond to their disobedience, rebellion and immaturity. How? That is where i need God to help me in, i easily react not respond to them.  how do i separate their behavior from their hearts? I love their hearts but not their behavior, oh that i would learn separating the bad behavior and deal with this heart that i love.  Simply i need a box to see the behavior and throw it in there for correction or pun
