The RESCUE

This past Saturday was The RESCUE. It was amazing! It's hard to even describe the event. This is the third year I've done this and this was by far the most moving event we've ever had. It was sort like a Revolution/Youth Revival all in one. I definitely consider myself privileged to have been in the company of those students. They were SO passionate about DOING something to change the situation in Uganda. They got IT. How exciting is that? They really got IT. I am so proud of them. Senator Gilbert Baker came to speak and "rescue" us. The Log Cabin covered it in Sunday's paper.
After Senator Baker spoke, the kids were given an opportunity to say something if they wanted. Probably 95% of the students stood up and spoke from their hearts about the children of Uganda. They spoke about how blessed we are and how much we take for granted. I was beaming with pride! Before walking back to our abduction site, we circled up and prayed for the kids in Uganda for about 45 minutes. It was AMAZING!! I pray we continue to fight UNTIL THEY ARE RESCUED!

Sooo much to do....

Too little time to do it! I've had tons to blog about but haven't had the time to sit down and do it:(
Here are just a few things I would've blogged about if I had the time:
-the boys Easter egg hunting
-I would upload that video of the Testalicious rockstars... still hoping to get to that one sometime
-Parker's visit to the ER:(.. he got something stuck in his eye and scratched his wittle cornea... sad, sad day!
-Piper dancing constantly! She is a hoot!
-Parker not wanting to go to the ER and saying he hoped they were closed.... so sweet!

I'm sure there's more but I don't even have time now to think about what I don't have time to blog about... make sense?

Anyway, this week is going to be crazy! I would love to have your prayers as I allow God to use me this week/month to bring awareness to the Invisible Children (IC) of Uganda. Tomorrow I speak to the 5th graders. I'm a little nervous because I've never shared this with an audience as young as they are. Wednesday night I speak to a class at UCA of future principals. Later this month I'm going to be abducted with countless Jr. High kids to help raise awareness of what happens daily in Uganda.

AND... if you see me this month and you're asking yourself, "didn't she have that shirt on last time I saw her?" Chances are you're right. We're all wearing only 2 shirts for the month of April to raise awareness for the IC. I'll wash them (and use lots of perfume;).
