Moses and I have officially been married six months! To some people that seems lame, but us that is huge milestone. Trust me I’m not trying to be that person on social media celebrating milestones just to post pictures. That’s not it. Legally we can make visa moves so we can be together.

If you have talked to me in the past six months my plans have changed a million times. I was trying to be with my husband by any means necessary. I will leave everything in America and go move to Uganda. Find a job and take care of my chickens. I was constantly scheming and dreaming on how to get to Moses. It is faster for me to go there and be together than waiting on visa for America. I felt lonely and had a deep hurt in my heart because I missed him so much. Honestly, the first few months in America was very hard and dark for me.

Do I still have those feelings? Do I still struggle? Yes. However, I have more peace and assurance because I have surrendered everything to God. One day as I paced my house I just start talking/praying to God. I listed off every single fear, doubt, pain and feeling in my heart. My frantic pacing turned into me on floor crying, begging God to do something. Anything. My life, my dreams, my marriage is not mine. It’s His. After that day I have felt better. Unless you have experienced pouring your heart out to God it is hard to explain. But it feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders.

Now, Moses and I have prayed and fasted over our next move. We have concluded that He will move here, to America. There are million little reasons for that decision. Once we chose to go with coming to America, peace overflowed our heats (mine in particular). Is it going to be hard? Yes.  God has shown me His blessing over our choice. Finances, regulations, and other details have just worked out. Suddenly.

It’s a weird feeling being one with someone 9,00 miles away, but we have that. Peace knowing, we are of one mind.  That has everything to do with God. I hope you reading this out of love, so I ask that over the next ten months you continue to pray for us. This road has not been easy, but it is good. Thank you for all your support we need it.
