Hi Hi Hiya!
I am going to start this blog off with an honest bang- I
LOVE HONDURAS! This is, without a doubt, my favorite place I have been to date.
God is going crazy here and I am so happy to be witnessing just a little
glimpse of it all. I previously posted about how I was excited about this month
but I never expected to feel so amazed and cemented in my life of faith on the
World Race.
Our ministry contact, Tony, is one incredible guy. The
opportunities we have available to us here are pretty fan-flipping-tastic. My
conviction, however, lies within two specific areas. I have absolutely fallen
in love with working the impoverished community of Los Pinos and I am also
working on developing a sincere, trust based and Christ-centered friendship
with a member of another team. I have grown so much stronger in my faith
knowing that I am doing work that God designed me for. I feel so absolutely
unimaginable and I can’t seem to shake this sensation!
First things first, Los Pinos is the place that continually
rocks my socks off. I get so excited to enter such a dismal and scary place-
it’s almost ridiculous. It is awesome to spread His love to those who live in
such depressing circumstances. I have always dreamed of filling up the souls of
people who live seemingly empty lives. It is so great to see how big of an impact
you can make just by sharing compassion and love to others. God is breaking my
heart for these people while simultaneously expanding it to love on a whole new
level. My mind is spinning and my heart is racing- and I love it!
As for developing a so fresh and so clean friendship with a
fellow squad-mate, I couldn’t be more stoked of the steps I have taken for His
call. It is high time I used my gift of observance and practicality to hand
some love to another person. God has developed our interactions in a way that I
didn’t really think was possible. We have addressed all the inner hullabaloo we
could possibly find within our selves. I never thought I would be comfortable coming
to grips with anything I had buried deep inside- and God is powering me through
it. I have never felt more at peace after fulfilling something that He Himself
asked of me. It is truly extraordinary to see the Lord work through myself and
another person in this way.
After feeling so rock solid in my duties this month I can’t
help but see the up and up in everything. I get so excited thinking about what
God has in store for me for the rest of this WR year. I almost jump out of bed
every morning just to make sure that I don’t miss anything. It has been a
life-long dream of mine to feel this happy about my life in the Lord. I will
write all of you again soon- just know that I am doing better than ever!
