Hey guys! I’ve been in Guatemala for two and a half weeks now. What. It feels like it’s been two months, and it’s tiring work everyday, but it’s beautiful and we have homemade tortillas on the daily.
I’m gonna keep this one short and sweet- and if you don’t understand or believe that Jesus is a friend, that is COMPLETELY okay. But this has been on my heart all week since being here, so please give it a read and know that this is what is truth in my life.
Jesus meets us where we’re at. For some people I’m living with, Jesus is completely in control of every bit of their life and they live out each day, turning down temptations in order to live more like Jesus and know His heart. Some people hear Him speak loudly in their ears, guiding their paths. For some of your reading this, you know about God sending His son, but you haven’t been invaded by His love (trust me, you can be. I’m watching it happen every day). Others of you don’t know about Jesus, and don’t want to have your life changed, and I get that. It’s weird and kinda scary and uncomfortable to talk about giving up things that are immediately enjoyable, but I’m slowly learning how. For me, Jesus sits with me, and is showing me that it will be worth it to let Him control my actions, because He is love. It will be worth it to let Him invade my life completely, and it’s okay if I have questions and doubts and am not there yet. He still loves me. And He still listens to me and gives me sweet gifts of beautiful yellow flowers everywhere. He gives me hugs in the form of little kids with snot all over their faces who are just absolutely delighted to hang onto me. God has been opening doors like CRAZY for my squad, and my heart is slowly opening and doubting less and less. But it’s baby steps for me. I have seen some incredible healing from Jesus with my very own eyes, and it’s still hard to grasp the true power of the gospel that I’m seeing released from the box I put it in.
I’ve gotten to meet beautiful families and hear incredible testimonies, some of which I will be sharing this weekend. I urge you to consider partnering with me in getting to meet people here and love on them, through financially and prayerfully supporting me. To stay on the field and serve the incredible Mamas and kids I’ve met, I need to raise $4,400 more! This is POCKET CHANGE to Jesus, and it could mean that for you too. Please pray about this!!! If you want to be apart of me getting to hold the hand of a 10 year old boy who has never been able to speak because of disabilities, and dance with him, please, please donate!! (Photos of this coming soon!) Jesus AND y’all who have and are currently supporting me are the reason I’m able to sit with people here, right where they’re at, just as Jesus is doing for me. So please do donate, whether it be $5 or $500, I have such an incredible opportunity to love on people, and your support means you get to love on them too!
MUCH LOVE!
Cait <3 🙂
