| OK so I need a break! I am looking to take 2 sick days sometime in May and fly to Tenn to see my dear friends! If I can just make it till May 26th, I will survive then I will take a couple of days to pack and then I am off to Guatemala again for a month. I cant wait but for now pray for work, that my kids do well on math TAKS in a week from Tuesday and that I have the strength to finish the year! thans! Oh by the way one of my kids asked me to go to her baptism. I went and cried and loved it! She told her mom I was the number 1 person she wanted there and she thought I was a Christian. And guess what I am, so I attended and that moment blessed my heart! WOW, God just keeps showing me everyday that while this is difficult, its exactly where I need to be! He is so AWESOME! |

| Well I know its been a while but I felt compelled to write tonight. WOW! So much has been going on in my life lately. I have been teaching for about six or seven weeks and while its been so awesome its also been a beat down. I am totally over committed in life and they arent committments that you can just get out of, they are hard core. But I am seeing life from a different perspective, over Spring Break I went to Gautemala and God did wonders to move and challenge me. Needless to say I felt a passion to work with these kids more and God reminded me that while it seems they have nothing and I have everything they have what matters which is faith that the Lord will proivide a better life for them and has their best interest at hand. And while my head knows that sometimes my heart forgets. I am so hestitent to give what I have and these kids give all they have which is their love. Its so hard to love nad be loved sometimes because fear seems to get in the way, fear of rejection or heart ache but these kids have known all that and yet they still give and receive love as God intended. That was powerful to me! Their faith and hearts were the biggest encouragement to me and it came at a time when I felt weak. SO once again God was my strength and He used these kids to remind me of how awesome and big He really is. All that to say I love what I do here in the states but I am going back to Gautemala in June to spend the month as an intern with Buckner. What a blessing! I cant wait! So pray for me and my job because I am hoping for some changes but more than that I want God to be known in my workplace, my kids already know it through comments and actions some have made toward me but may my co-workers know it. I need the strength to take a stand and be who God made me to be. Thanks! Sorry this was long!! |
