Graduation Is Upon Us

Things have been challenging and hectic for me here as we prepared for my mother's graduation in one city, and as I finalized the defence of my thesis in yet another city. It is also an exciting time for us all.  My mama has been studying for her theology degree, through an extension program and she has now achieved her goal!

It was a happy day for her, and for us, as we watched her finish her years of dedicated study and receive her diploma. Family members came from miles away.  After the ceremony, we had soda and lunch to mark this big event.

Now I'm very busy trying to finish my own thesis.  I've defended it in yet a third town (different one from where I live and from where my mama had her ceremony).  The professors who sat on the board to hear the students defend their works have come from yet another city in the country of Uganda.  Their travels and my own travels have really added to the thesis costs and to living costs in these final stages of my studies.

Please keep me in prayer for the funds needed to cover my final trip to Uganda and for my moving fees back to my hometown.  It is a busy, exciting and stressful time for me.  I've had to rely on prayer and faith to get this far and I'm not quite finished yet.  More news later. Blessings.

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

James 1:2-4
