"Then She Has Started Today"

Bishop Henry Luke Orombi Praying for us

During the first days of meetings with Omukyara, she tagged a long also a beautiful lady. Ofcourse we were younger those days and you know how we loved stories. I mean, we would talk all talk. 

So this other lady who was very friendly added
to the talking and the listening. She was outgoing, full of energy and selfless. She was that the kind of "not boring self person". You know such people that you often look forward to meeting agian. Those ones who smile easily, extend a hug quickly and state a genuine "how have you been Mark ?" Then they tell about themselves selflessly and you feel motivated to share too. Such people motivate and live a full life. They sort of do a lot of things yet they have time to get personal. They are full of positive energy! I mean the kind of people that this world should posses in plenty! So Madam Mirembe was a such a person. 

Izi with a hood saying somethin to JJ his young brother. 

Now she is still so and much more. Look, she is still light. She has a calm husband, children, a business mind and is motivational. She has travelled a lot and is more exposed now. With her husband, they do 'styling' people. I mean they deal in genuine fashion or simply dress or wear items which they import themselves.  God blesses good people. Madam Mirembe has a good man and a blessed home. Her children are full of power and yield real self esteem. 

As you know, September 23rd is such a bright day at our house hold. Now it fell on a Sunday and we decided to start the day at 5AM. This was not necessarily very good for my friend Humura because her sleep was interrupted. We woke her up. 

The cause was noble. We had decided that on her 1st birthday, we would present and dedicate her to the Lord. She was born at 8AM and we sought it would be cool to dedicate her around the same time. The Chaplain had granted our request. 

By the way Omukyara used to attend the 7 O'clock service at Church during those days of Madam Namirembe. I was a church Usher then together with with friends like Racheal , Maliza, Annet, Duncan while Cliff my best man was the Church Administrator. Omukyara was nealy all the time late to church. You know that time when ushers are a little bit free. I mean, nearly everyone is well seated and parise and worship is done.. By the way we enjoyed serving! I will spare you the detail of this story now but I promise to tell it another day.

Back to waking up early and 'hitting' the road. About half a kilomentor from home, there was a certain man who was rushing. He drove into the road quickly. It would have been fatal was it not for God's own hand over us. The man was driving a huge 'fuso' track. As he tried to overtake a slow track, his did zig zag about four times on the road. The thing seemed to be coming back to hit our car, then it was massively swayed off the road by a certain force. It muzzled its weight into a trench on our right (a few meters away) and it could move out not any longer. The trench grabbed its tires tightly. 

I am often alert while driving. but I can tell you that God just thought about us as he does constantly. I think He saw us just there vulnerable and decided to sweep the zig zagging machine off the road to the trench. No human was hurt. I somehow managed to look back to see the driver disembarking the dahm fuso thing. later on, I shared about this and my friend Mr Muganzi sent me  scripture:  

Psalm 91

⁹ If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”

    and you make the Most High your dwelling,

¹⁰ no harm will overtake you,

    no disaster will come near your tent.

¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you

    to guard you in all your ways;

I fully believe that His angels were fully on duty during this road trip. Thank you lord. 

We got to St. Francis Chapel on time. Had a quick meeting at the Vestry. Bishop Henry Luke Orombi (he said he prefers to be called that other than former archbishop of the Church of Uganda) was to dedicate Humara. 

He briefed us 

       "whenever I dedicate a child, I like it that the parents hold the child...I am dedicating the entire family.."  We agreed with him. 

What a beautiful Church Service we had ! The first song was true to the occasion ! Indeed we stood on holy ground. We did dedicate my friend Hazel Humura on holy ground! We stepped forward and Bishop Orombi prayed for us. He spoke prophetically direct into our lives. We are blessed! So blessed beyond a curse. Everything about us in God governed.  My friend Hazel Humura is blessed! 

The church Service was to conclude MAKFEST 2018 . The theme was from “I am Making a Way-Isaiah 43:18-19”

Bishop Orombi preached from  Luke 15:11-32: 

The Parable of the Lost Son: 11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them...... 

The towering man spoke like he often does. He spoke his heart about the "Love of a father". I saw his sweat! I was close. 

He spoke directly to me: 

    - Love is generous.  

    - Love lets go.  

    - Love out waits patience.  

    - Love forgives!  

As we moved out, Amos who took the front seat shared a photo he had captured. We also met Ezra & Eunice (never mind that these are actually supposed to be referred to as grandparents to my friend Humura). So we had more photos around. We were all present Edmund, Edson, Barbra, Peter, Dad & Mum. Some of our friends that dont mind waking up early make it too. Mr Opio Douglas, Hope, Patience was present. 

I will write about what happened the afternoon of that day. Remind me if I forget. 

But briefly, Michele one of the lovely daughters of Madam Mirembe Phrased the title for this peace. This is how she did it: 

Guess who Mishelle is among these beauties 

Michelle: Come dia Hazel, this is your sweet. (Dia Hazel receives the sweet, take a bit, another one, as I watch) Omukya: Come on Michelle Michelle: Yes Auntie Cathy 

         Omukyara: Please         don't give Hazel Sweets

Michelle: Why ? Omukyara: Because she is still young and she doesn't eat sweets: Michelle: (with kind of a brushing) Then she has started today.Omukyara: Ok, please bring Hazel to me. Michelle: Please leave her alone, let her be free!
