"I am a Disciple"
The die has been cast, I’ve stepped over the
line; the decision has been made;
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I will not look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded . I now live by faith, love by patience, live by prayer, and labor by power. My pace is set; my gait is fast; my goal is the heaven. My road is narrow;
My way is rough; my companions few; my Guide reliable; my mission clear!
I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, I will not hesitate in the presence of adversity; I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, nor meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I will not give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I have prayed up, preached up, stored up, and stayed up the cause of Jesus Christ!
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I must go until He returns; give until I drop;
preach until all know; and work until He comes.
And when He comes to get His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me;
My colors are flying high, and they are clear for all to see

Billy, that post was so timely and needed in my life! I will be reposting it (on facebook probably). We love you and are continuing to pray for the Lords Will in your life and for your time in Uganda. May the Lord richly bless you for giving of your life/time/efforts/separation from family, for His cause. Love, Aunt Donna
