The Invisible Children Of Uganda

There were many reason I began to write a blog, but I never knew just how therapeutic this would be. I have manage all my life to disguise my feelings and at times I think many thought I had no feeling nor conscience. It's easier than people think to hide pain that one goes through, than it is to deal with someone else's pain. I feel someone else's pain this evening so strongly that I feel I  am suffocating.

I could never be a politician, no it's much better for me to just be a plain Jane,  a no schmo, a nobody because if I had the power to exercise force I would do it this very moment! I must have been hiding under a rock for eight or nine years, because this is the first time I've actually heard about Joesph Kony the leader of the L.R.A. or Lords Resistance Army. I watched in horror as the reporter told the story of all the children being kidnapped and forced to fight for this Joesph Kony. The boys are brutalized and taken from the parents, even made to kill them and the girls are taking for sexual pleasures for the men in authority in this army.

As a sexually abused survivor I can hardly catch my breath listening to the horrific and disgusting situations these young children have to endure. I can not believe that our government has allowed this to go on for so long. You may feel that it is none of our business and to let the country deal with their own issues, God tells me different and so does my heart. What is wrong with this world? And what is wrong with us? I guess God knows what he's talking about by not revealing the power that we actually have within us, because we probably would use it to call down fire upon everyone who offended us, but this circumstance is totally different as far as I am concerned. And at this time I wish I could call fire down on this ungodly man!!I know, I know, vengeance is mine saith the Lord.

Just as my heart would beat out of my chest when going through the abuse I have had to deal with, my heart is beating out of my chest for these "Invisible Children of Uganda" It's as if I feel there heart pounding, feel there tears actually going down my face, I can hear the screams of the young girls being raped and killed and the boys getting their ears,fingers,lips and nose cut off. Why is this happening? And better yet, what can we do? I feel as if I can't catch my breath, as if there is something I can do this very moment, but what? Ranting is getting me nowhere, and crying isn't helping either!

PRAY...PRAY...PRAY AND DON'T STOP! We are entering a time where crucial decisions are being made, and we just might be the next to endure such brutality. I know you love us Lord, but how can you put up with so much wickedness, and how can we ask you to not look away from us as a nation, when we have turned our backs on you? We aren't living an American dream, but rather the reality of America! And the reality is that we have turned away from our first love which is God all mighty and He is going to turn His back on us if we as a nation and as individuals don't repent and turn from our sins and abominations. Do you really think that we are THAT special that what is happening in Uganda, Iran, Syria, North Korea can't happen to us? We are already owned by China.


When I found out that those children in Uganda run every night  once it is dark trying to return to their homes, knowing if they get caught death awaits them and nothing is being done about it, simply makes me sick and ashamed for our Country and ashamed as a people who speak of rights for others.  Oh we will fight for the right to abort a child, fight for the right for same sex marriage, fight for the right for other religions to have their freedoms while little by little Christians loose theirs. We fight for every single thing that God abhors.

Over and over again God speaks to the churches in Revelations warning and saying "he that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches!" But we desensitized people don't think God is speaking to us.  We say, but God we love thy neighbor as Christ loves the church...lies! We feed the poor and widows and care for the children...lies! We are a nation of lovers of self.

God how can I lay me down to sleep tonight  knowing there are children out there being tortured, mutilate, raped, shivering in the darkness. Wondering where their help or even if their help will come? As I place those covers over my clean body, with my belly full, heat in my home, water to drink and food to eat and a light to find my way, how do I close my eyes and sleep peacefully? Where is their light Oh Lord? Where is their comfortable bed to sleep in and food and water to drink? Wanting their mothers and fathers to hold them and tell them they are loved and are safe?

They are going through their tribulation right now, young , innocent, and scared. Can you hear their hearts beating out of their chest? I can. Can you hear their cry in the night and through the day? I can. Can you hear that young girl being raped or beaten into submission? I can. Can you hear that young boy being sodomized? I can. Can you stand by and do nothing? I can't.

God I make this pledge to you this very moment, if you show me the way to help, I will. Show me the path in which to take,for I can rest assured that You will protect me, for he that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty. I know that God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind. That no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Any tongue that shall rise against me shall be shown to be wrong, for this is my heritage as a servant of the Lord and my righteousness is of the Lord.

As I close with such a heavy heart, I leave you with this prayer. Father, may those who read this blog be touched by You. May they not find comfort in their cozy life, without thinking of the children of Uganda. May you bring a Godly conviction on each and everyone to the point to where they are seeking a solution to the help of this cause. And may you turn the embers that burn ever so slowly into a raging fire that causes them not to be satisfied with their life. I ask this in the Name of Jesus, for it's not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, says the Lord, Amen!

Father, I claim Proverbs 3:24  "When I lie down to sleep, I shall not fear for my sleep shall be sweet." And one day soon, every child shall be able to say the same thing. In the Name of Jesus,Amen!

Since I wrote this I have seen a video that exposes this evil man for what he truly is. In October President Obama officially sent troops to help with technology to find Kony, but we must keep reminding the politicians that we the people care. So on April 20th 2012  people from all over the world are going to bring light to Joseph Kony by putting flyer's and posters up and give him all the exposure and awareness that a movie star would get but it's for the purpose of revealing this depraved terrorist for what he really is. I hope all who hear the video and learn about the event will participate. If you'd like to view the video go to... Kony2012www.youtube.com
