Hello all my friends and family sorry for my long delay in writing you. My team is with another team on a farm somewhere near Teguleigalpa Honduras this month. We do not have access to the internet unless we go into town with our contact Tony for supplies or groceries. Up until today I have not had a desire to leave the farm. Honestly I would have rather stayed at the farm but I feel a need to make sure that you all know that I am fine and things are going good with me.
The farm is so peaceful and I hear God talking to me about deepening my intimacy with him this month. Each day I long for some quiet time to talk to God about my struggles and dreams. Each day he talks to me about what he longs for in me and how he sees me as his child.
This may be hard for my family and friends to hear as they are waiting patiently for contact from me. I do not know when I will be able to write again but I am trusting them in God’s hands as I hope they are trusting me in his hands as well. Know that God is restoring me and refreshing me. I look around the farm and I am reminded of my childhood growing up on a farm in Alberta Canada. I like walking in the cow pasture and I remember fun times playing with my brothers on the farm. I see the beautiful fall colors and I am reminded of my favorite time of year. It feels like God has placed me here this month to be refreshed and grow into a deeper relationship with him. Only God would know that putting me on a farm in Honduras would be exactly what my heart would need this month.
I am praying that each one of you would take the time out of your busy schedule’s to find intimacy with God. He longs for you so badly, to hear your voice and see your smile. He is waiting patiently for you to draw near to him and seek him with your whole heart.
I found this song on my IPOD that speaks to what I am going through it is “Resting Place” by Jon Buller. Some of the lyrics say
“With my heart I will worship
I found my resting place in you
Searched the east all through the west
And found you in my heart
And even creation testifies that you are true
I am weary and burdened Oh God and tired of the journey
With my heart I will worship
I found my resting place in you”
