When you think your suffering and then boom, your like eeeeh am priviledged for this because people have suffered. One thing that i got here (thought i was alone and i was questioning my faith), is scriptures, motivation speakers and self books not working and its just your moment🙌, you just have to accept it and listen to yourself and God.
As he was sharing, am reminded of Genesis 3:9 - But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” And to-date, one of the questions that we keep asking is where are Fathers? Where are the men? Where are the husbands? And in Titus 2, Paul writes to Titus on how men ought to be...sober, sensible, worthy of respect, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.
It's true you can ask God questions. And feel like quitting. But just like the disciples told Jesus, where can we go, you only have the words of life! So you stay and hang in there. With time God gives you the grace and you in fact love God the more
Surely whatever a man can go through, there are people who have gone through more and have greatly overcome. I bless the Lord that this is a “more than a conqueror” story by Bp. Bukenya.
Thanks @tracy for your insipiring story; true beauty for ashes. I have just visited your page on Instagram and woww❤❤❤, so much has been achieved Parts of what you talked about and challenges resonate with me. I donated breastmilk during pandemic because i was an essential worker who could move. All the people the family could access couldn't move to have tests done. I went and picked one of the possible donors (a friend) from their home far away deep in wakiso to take them to hospital so that we both could be tested to donate as i didn't have much breastmilk to donate. After tesing and it being okay, the husband changed his mind and stopped her from donating. It was alot of work to sustain donating sufficient milk. However, during my medical internshipI had seen a vulnerable baby die after undergoing surgery due to failure to obtain breastmilk & complications from having to use formula early and promised myself i would donate if ever in a position to do so. I ended up giving my child (she was alreay 6 months old) formula to sustain the donating. The father was amazing; he made the journey to pick breast milk from Kisasi to take it to Nsambya hospital almost daily for 1month. The baby survived and is growing.
And yes a discussion on blending would be great. you shared one on divorce, now loss of spouse, so a separate topic on remarriage and blending would be great. i'm also interested in listening to your experience on blending from a child's perspective
I have had stories of Rev. Bukenya's story from many fronts & versions, am glad he is telling it himself. Thank you Lisa for hosting him. Bring him back to share his experience on raising 7 Children.
oh wow..... i'm speechless. But in all this, God has surely been so good. No temptation has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word-He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]. 1 Corinthians 10:13
Oh my goodness! I remember him from high school days at kakumba chapel. The choir was dope; they changed my perception in regards to serving God and still looking awesome, slick etc yet decent. Thanks for hosting him
This was such an insightful conversation!! God is a GOOOOOOD GOD!! His Life!! The Bible comes alive!!! May these coming years be the years of jubilation! Thanks Lisa for bringing the story to us!
i feel like i just had a whole financial literacy course in an hour. the business of just "keeping up appearances" eishhh..... so much wisdom. Thanks Lisa for this one
Just finished watching this episode and it was beautiful with so many lessons I will highlight one lesson that came in the last minutes of the conversation... Mrs Rachel Mwiine shared on her Instagram recently about being careful when we feel justified, when we feel that we have the right to be angry .. relating it to this episode Mrs Cathy's anger was justified.. the husband had cheated and was taking too much alcohol.. so really her anger was justified.. but the problem with justification we forget that we also do wrong things and for Mrs Cathy the realization that she isn't perfect came after she received Christ, she understood that sometimes she also didn't treat the husband the right way So I feel it's really important to realize that we too aren't perfect and it is really not always the other person's fault Once it was a beautiful episode, thank you to the guests and the host
Depression is real after birth.I gave birth to my first child in the diaspora without any support system.For 6 months sleep was history.I got so depressed but by God’s grace I came out of it.I promised myself if I ever have another child it’s either I invite someone or go back to Uganda.
