Jehovah Jireh - Omugabi Waffe

Okwanirizibwa kwaffe mu Canada tekwali kwa mukisa. Okusooka, ennyonyi yaffe yalina okuddayo emabega okuyita ku Iceland olw’okuteebereza nti waaliwo obuzibu mu yingini, oluvannyuma lw’okulinda essaawa nnya mu kisenge eky’okusimbulamu e Heathrow, twaddamu ne tusimbula mu ttumbi mu nnyonyi y’emu - naye n’abakozi abalala!

Okulwawo kwaffe kwatuleetera okutuuka mu Toronto essaawa musanvu ez’ekiro (1:00) ng’obudde bwe buli eyo, era mangu ne kirabika nti abamu ku bakungu b’emisolo tebaasanyuka kukozesebwa mu ssaawa embi bwe zityo. Ebyatutuukako byali bibi nnyo ne kitutuusa n’okwegomba nga singa twasigala eka mu Wales, naye bwe twamala okuyita, omukungu ow’abasenguse yatwaniriza n’atukakasa nti “si Bannakanada bonna bafaanana nga oyo.”

Twatunula okwetooloola nga tunoonya omuntu ayinza okutwaniriza, kubanga twali tuweerezza obubaka (telegram) eri Hazel Weech, nnyina wa Sharon, wiiki emu emabega, obwamumanyisa ebikwata ku lugendo lwaffe olw’ennyonyi, naye tewaali muntu ng’oyo, era mangu ne twesanga twekka mu kisenge eky’okutuukirako ekyali kkalu. Twenna twali tukooye nnyo era abaana baasobola okwebaka ku ntebe ez’omu kisenge, naye nze ne Anne twasigala tuli meeru, nga tukuuma emigugu era nga tulindirira Hazel. Essaawa kkumi na bbiri n’ekitundu (6:30) ez’oku makya nasalawo okumukubira essimu ne nzuula nti teyafuna bubaka bwaffe era yali anaatera okugenda ku mulimu.

“Mwetwalire takisi,” bw’atyo bwe yayogera, ng’ampa endagiriro omuvuzi w’emmotoka gy’ateekwa okututwaala. Bwe kityo, essaawa amakumi asatu (30) oluvannyuma lw’okuva e Heathrow omulundi ogusooka, twali twebase mu buliri obw’ebbugumu obulungi, nga twebase katulututtu.

Omwezi gwaffe ogusooka mu Toronto gwali gwa ssanyu nnyo. Twakuba embuga z’amaduuka (shopping malls), ne tugenda mu People’s Church okuwuliriza Dr. Oswald Smith ne Nicky Cruz, eyawandiika ekitabo “The Cross and the Switchblade,” ne tunyumirwa okuwuliriza Dr. John Wesley White ng’ayogera mu kkanisa ey’ekitundu eya United Church of Canada, era ne tugula n’ennyumba!

Eno yali nnyumba ntono, enkyafu, eyaddaala amanju gamu (bungalow) mu kitundu ekiriraanye Toronto, eyali ebadde njereere okumala emyaka ebiri. Amabala gaayo gaali matono: kikungu ne kiragala ekiddugavu. Ku lunaku olusooka, natandika olukalala oluwanvu olw’okuddaabiriza nga nkuba n’ennyondo akasozi akanene mu makkati g’oluggya lw’ekisenge eky’okusuliramu, kye nnalina okukozesa omusumaali ogw’obuwanvu bwa sentimita kkumi (four-inch spike) okugukwatirira wansi, ate ne nsiiga langi enjeru ku ffuleemu z’amadirisa. Oluvannyuma lw’olunaku oluwanvu olw’okukola ku mirimu egyo, nagenda okunaaba mu ssawa okuddamu amaanyi; naye bwe nnagenda okukyusa ku mazzi, natya nnyo amayinja ag’ekippu (tiles) mangi bwe gaava ku bisenge by’olwazi lw’awo we banaabira ne gagwa mu bbenseni. Gaali gakwatiddwa wamu ne Scotch Tape (akateepu)!

Oboolyawo weebuuza lwaki twagula ennyumba ng’eyo, era nkukakasa nti yokka gye twasobola okugula kubanga ebbeeyi mu Toronto zaali ziyitiridde nga kumpi emirundi esatu okusinga mu Wales, ate n’okupangisa kwandiggweeddemu amasente amatono ge twali tuterese. Kaakati ne tutegeera engeri omusaala gwange bwe gwali mutono nnyo bwe gugeraageranyizibwa n’obungi bw’ensimbi ze kyagula okubeera mu Canada.

Omwaka gwaffe ogusooka gwali gwa kulwanirira nnyo mu by’ensimbi naye twazuula nga Mukama atuumibwa erinnya lye ery’amazima, Jehovah Jireh, Omugabi waffe (Olubereberye 22:14).

Emirundi esatu mu mwaka ogwo ogw’essomero twabeeranga awatali ssente wadde ebyokulya nga wakati mu mwezi. Tetwabuuliranga muntu yenna naye bulijjo twewuunyanga engeri Mukama gye yatuwangamu bye twali twetaaga.

Ku lulala, omukyala mu kkanisa yaffe yatuwa ekirabo ekitono newankubadde nga teyamanya bye twali twetaaga. “Nsuubira temunyiize,” bw’atyo bwe yagamba, “naye Mukama y’antegeezezza okubawa kino.” Ku mulundi omulala, bazadde b’abamu ku bayizi bange baatuwa ssente; naye ekirabo ekyasinga okwewuunyisa kyajja ku ntandikwa y’omwaka gwaffe. Ebintu byali binywevu bwe waatuuka ebbaluwa eyaleetebwa mu ngalo okuva mu Minisitule y’Abasenguse ng’enyanjuza okukyalira ofiisi yaabwe. Nnali neeraliikirivu. Waaliwo ekintu ekyali kikyamu ku bapepa baffe? Twanditwalibwa emabega eka? Ku ofiisi, nawebwa bbaasa, munda yaayo ne muba ebbaluwa etwaniriza mu Canada n’ekyeke ekya doola 1,000. Kino kyali, ng’ekirabo okuva mu Gavumenti ya Canada eri buli omu agula ennyumba ye ensooka mu Canada. Ne wagobererako ebyeke ebirala bibiri ebya doola 250.

Kyali nga wayiseewo omwaka gumu nga tekannazuulibwa nti waaliwo ensobi eyakolebwa era nti tetwali basaanira kufuna kirabo kino kubanga twali tubaddewo n’ennyumba mu Wales. Gavumenti yayagala okuddizibwa ssente zaabwe, naye olw’okuba ensobi yali yaabwe, baakkiriza nti tuzisasule, awatali magoba, mu myaka esatu. Ani omulala ayinza okwenyumiririza mu kufuna ensimbi ng’ezo okuva mu gavumenti awatali magoba? Kirabika bulungi nti Jehovah Jireh afuga n’ebitongole by’ensimbi ebya gavumenti!

Mu myezi gy’ekyeya (summer), saafuna musaala, naye twalina ekisuubizo kye twalina okutuukiriza. John ne Eileen Wiebe baali mikwano gyaffe emirungi mu Germany, gye yaweerezanga mu magye ga Canada (Canadian Forces). Kaakati baali bakolera mu bukiikakkono bwa Manitoba wamu ne Church Army, era bwe baawulira nga tutuuse mu Canada, baatwegayirira tujje tubakyalire. Twali twasooka okukkiriza, naye bwe twalaba ng’ensimbi zaffe nntono, Anne yalina okubawandiikira emirundi ebiri ng’ababuulira nti twali tulina okulwawo okujja. Buli lwe yabanga anaatera okusindika ebbaluwa, ebbaluwa yajjanga okuva ewa Eileen ng’etubuulira nga bwe baali baagala nnyo okutulabako nate, ekyatuziyiza okubasindikira ebbaluwa ezo.

Bwe kityo, mu Julaayi, Anne yatwaala abawala ku lugendo oluwanvu okulaga e Dauphin, Manitoba, ate nze ne nsigala mu Toronto nga nsomera satifikeeti ey’abasomesa abakugu (specialist teachers’ certificate), naye ogwo mugero mulala.

Okukyala kwali kwa kitalo naye okutambula okugenda n’okudda bintu Anne by’andyagadde okwerabira. Ekitundu eky’ekyewuunyo mu lugero luno kwe kuti Anne bwe yakola ku by’ensimbi zaffe, ssente ze twasigaza ku nkomerero y’omwezi zaali za nnamba y’emu nga bwe zaali ziteekwa okubeera singa olugendo olwo terwatambulwa!

Nate, Mukama ateekwa okuba nga y’atuwadde.
