Well, it’s finally happened! After living in Uganda, Africa for a year in a half, I’ve made my blog.

I’ve chosen the blog name “Waiting in the Wings” for many reasons. One of the reasons being that I’m in love with acting. I love the stage and the family-type relationship you gain with the cast of each show. I was part of an acting company called “Acting for the Almighty” for two years before we moved to Uganda, and I continue to be in their shows whenever I return to the states each Christmas.

The term “wings” in stage-talk means the sides of a theater stage out of view of the audience. The cast members that are about to go on for the next scene usually sit there, waiting for their cue to go on stage. So, I took “waiting in the wings” and defined it as waiting for God to give me my cue to go onto the next big stage in life. Each time you go onstage, you’re onstage because you’re in a scene. I’m waiting in the wings for God to tell me when to go on for my next scene.

I also chose the name “Waiting in the Wings” because I love to travel. I love exploring far away places, and that, of course, means flying in an airplane. Now, I don’t particularly enjoy flying itself, but I love to sit on the window seat of the plane and see all of the clouds right next to me. I love to look down and see the land far below us, and see all of God’s creation. It’s a breath-taking sight, and also gives me the opportunity to take some amazing pictures!

In this blog, I’ll be sharing with you many, many things. I’ll share some of my travel experiences, update you some on how life in Uganda is going, and most of all, share how God is revealing to me what my next “scene” or “stage” in life may be. I hope you enjoy waiting in the wings with me!
