Weekend In Jinja

September 10, 2013 ~ Sophie ~ 2 Comments

Hey ya’ll! How was your weekend? Mine was fun and totally unexpected. The other week I was talking to a friend and she pointed out that I am from Uganda where the famed Nile is and then it hit me when I realized that I have never really visited the river. Shame! Anyways this weekend I got a chance to go and It was cool. I am so in love with the place… so many rustic places and the cool weather unlike Kampala. And the famed River Nile. I remember the last time I was there, I was a kid and didn’t really know how significant this river is to the world and now having to cross it back and forth for three days made me count my blessings. I mean seriously, this is the river we used to study and read about in geography classes. The definition of Africa(I need to calm down. Ha!) I realize i am babbling now so I am gonna let the pictures speak for themselves.

Hope you had a great weekend too!

Summer Recap

August 19, 2013 ~ Sophie ~ 6 Comments

The other day, I was mulling over the fact that summer is totally over and gone when I realized it has been one of the best summer holidays I have ever had. I was blessed beyond measure. Seriously. I am not trying to brag in any way but I just thought it would be great to talk about what the Lord has done.

When summer started, I was a little…err… frustrated. I wanted to(besides having to wake up really late and watch movies endlessly….well sort of…) maximize all the opportunities so that when I look back, I will always remember it as one of the best. I prayed hard to God to open my eyes for any opportunity hanging around. What I didn’t know was that I totally wasn’t prepared for the outpouring of blessings that would follow.

I got two jobs and that was just the beginning. I refused to be bored(which, by the way, is hard!) so I busied myself with the two jobs, blogging, crocheting and some crafty DIYs (which I will be sharing soon) and a lot of brain storming and thinking for the future of me. Sounds like a handful! Before I knew it, the three months were over .

I was sad. A good kind of sad(is there such a thing?). Sad that if the summer holiday was a tiny little bit longer, I could have done more and organized my thoughts better. That maybe somehow I could have accomplished more. It happens to all of us, but hey time is time and it is valuable and it can’t be brought back one it is gone.

To make the long( probably boring) story short, Summer was one of a kind. The jobs I took up earned me tuition for the next semester, a personal digital camera(yey more images now ha!), great friends and acquaintances and a fresh outlook on life. It is more than I could ask for or had imagined. I am so grateful. Grateful to God for blessing me beyond measure. I can’t wait to see what this other half of the year will bring.
