“You Act like an Orphan”: The Dam Broke (First Ugandan Missions Trip)
Rose Marie Miller Interview. First Uganda Missions Trip
During the mission trip, they took a two week break in Mambasa, staying at an Episcopal guest house. It had been so hard living in Uganda.
Jack was invited by missionaries to speak.
RMM went along because they'd just spotted a cobra outside her door.
She was paying little attention to Jack, watching the ships come into the harbor, relishing the beauty of the area, and the warmth of the air when she heard over "My wife is going to come and speak to you."
"I was furious, livid" said RMM, "but I was so used to doing what Jack wanted I just got up."
Later she would ask Jack why he made her do that. And Jack responded, "They were not listening to me and I thought maybe they'd listen to a woman."
RMM reflecting, summed it up concluding, "He cared, and I didn't. I mean that's my take on it. He cared and I didn't."
Returning to Uganda, things were no better. And on the flight back to Switzerland the dam broke and I sobbed and sobbed . . .
"And that’s when he said to me Rose Marie, you act like an orphan, which resonates all through Sonship. And at that point in time I just stopped in the middle of the road, I said he’s right. He’s absolutely right.
He said you don’t know, you don’t know anything about the Spirit, you don’t know, that’s what I was missing all along, a connection with the Spirit.
He just, you don’t, he can help you can guide you can teach you, you just ousted him out of your life. And I, all I could do was say Jesus I’m sorry. Teach me.
Six months later we made plans to go to Uganda, that’s when Steve DeMoss came with us. And I, I couldn’t wait to get there. That was a lovely trip." #0:17:1.7#
