This trip didn’t seem real until I woke up in a bed that wasn’t my own, and it is only Day 4, I noticed how alone I felt. How vulnerable I was not being able to go down a hallway and say good morning to my parents. Not being able to walk downstairs and have breakfast with my brothers before they go to school. not being able to call my friends to hang out and grab something to eat. Homesick is a real thing that I never thought would exist in me. Then I began to pray.
God has allowed me to be at peace being away from home since. He has blessed me with believers that I can thankfully call my family. He has broken my heart for the loss here in Guatemala. He has equipped me with the love I need to show these children and widows.
The presence of GOD is here. he is alive and well. and he is moving in the hearts of each and every one of us. We are all vessels ready to go and be used. I can feel the need of him in the people. Most are merely surviving. looking for the next best thing in life. some think this is it there’s nothing to go to from here, but I know these are also Gods people and he wants them to see him face to face. I can feel his presence when I walk down the street, whenever I look at someone my heart tugs.
I pray for these people of Guatemala that they may see the fullness and goodness of Christ. I pray that they open there eyes and see his face and know that he is good and that he saves. Jesus is a word that carries unimaginable power. The enemy flees at his command. The demons must go to Christ for permission. Light rules over darkness every time. I pray that these people see this and find joy.
I cannot wait to see how he moves in these next three months. German (our host) has been amazing with providing places to sleep. and food to eat and water to drink. I am already growing and cannot wait to see what Christ has in store for me.
