Let me tell you about this clip.

I had so much running through my mind that night. While attending service at Miracle Center International Church, Pastor Robert Kayanja, I was so overwhelmed with what I was experiencing in Uganda. I was the second person on my team to take the mic, as they allow visitors, especially international visitors to say a few words. The line was long but was moving. I kept rehearsing over and over what I wanted to say, at the same time process how far from home I was. This was only Day 4 of our journey. And just a day or two before, was in Kenya. All I knew was that I was in Africa and that God told me to go. I said yes and I obeyed and He provided in every way possible. He assured my steps that this was the way several times that I could not deny what He was doing. So, as I cried and my voice cracked, just know that in looking back on this video, I had tears of JOY. I was BACK HOME. I thought to myself about how my ancestors traveled and endured and that now I was able to freely go back to my roots. I was told so many times how I looked like a Kenyan from natives or friends. I even had clergy in Uganda and Kenya think they knew me. Until that moment, I had never been to the Eastern hemisphere. So, this brief but real moment in this video does not convey the love and acceptance I felt when I traveled there…. to that very point that I lost everything I wanted to say at the mic. But my tears are an expression of what I felt. I am still trying to process this trip and understand what God wants me to do now. Sometimes, it is all about taking the first step. What I do know is, that I have been actively learning Swahili so when I travel back, I will be in more touch with the people. Ok, I’m crying while I am typing this out.

Anyway, enjoy the quirkiness of this clip!
