I'm not that great.

There's something I get a lot.

Something I hear almost every time I mention Uganda.

Every time I talk about it.

People tell me how great it is that I do that,

and what a great person I am.

I love compliments as much as the next person, but it kind of makes me cringe.

I'm NOT that great.

God is great, and I pray that he does great things through me and Future Hope Ministries, but honestly I'm not that great.

I go to Uganda because I love it there, I love the kids, the people and everything about it.

When people tell me how "selfless" I am for doing it, I feel like I'm taking a compliment that is not rightfully mine.

I feel more selfish than selfless, honestly, they give me more than I could ever repay them for.

I don't feel like I give these kids that much, but the love and joy they give me is incredible and unbelievable.

I come and I play with the kids and love on them, and honestly, have the time of my life.

I love them so much, but I feel like that's all I have to offer.

The kids that call me "auntie" or "sister", in a way, they've adopted me into their family.

Even the people there thank me for what I do, but I never feel like I did that much.

I don't feel like I deserve the compliments I get.

I'm really not doing that much, sure I went to a third-world country for a month, but I wasn't sacrificing much, I LOVE it there, God allows me to go to a place I love and feel at home,

I hope and pray that God touched their lives through me, but in the end, I didn't do much.

I feel like I'm getting all the glory for what God did.

So I want to tell you right now that it's all because of God that I went to Uganda.

That we had the money for the flight,

that we made it there safely, 

that I got to spend time with those amazing children,

and if any lives were touched in the time I spent in Uganda,

It's all because of Him.

Not the best photo by any means, but I felt like I should put it on here
