We made it to Candelaria, Nicaragua on Wednesday and
honestly I’m really struggling. Leaving the boys was the hardest thing I have
ever had to do. I don’t think I have ever loved so much and been so invested
and had to walk away. I have cried every day since we left the boys in Honduras
and I’m usually not an emotional person. I left my heart with them and it’s
going to be really hard to give it away again because it hurts so bad.

I really think God has been teaching me that I need to trust
Him more. I read a verse in Isaiah a few weeks ago and it has stuck with
me:

 “…in quietness and trust shall be your strength” (30:15)

I need to TRUST that God is taking care of the boys. I need
to TRUST His plan for me this month and the rest of the Race. I need to TRUST
that this transition is all a part of His plan for my life. I just need to
TRUST because He is good.

I know that God has a purpose for me here in this place at
this time and it’s about time that I begin searching for and praying through
that purpose.
