A week ago I was standing in red Ugandan dirt. My hands were never clean and my feet stained red. Little faces beamed up at me with their white teeth grinning. I loved every moment I spent there even though it was different than home. There will be many more posts on the trip and many more pictures. But for now I will give you this poem I wrote about 3 children who were following us around market asking for money.
You pleaded
but i had to say no
inside my heart bleeded
i wanted to say yes
so that you would be blessed
giving you money
food, anything
that would make you
a slave
to a passion that fills with a never ending hunger
it would consume you
never being able to see
outside the box
so i tell you no
gently pushing you
towards a new road
one where He only
can fill the hole
