This is my Life!
I just had another one of those days where God just humbles me and I get to look around and say THIS IS MY LIFE! Life as a missionary is not always easy or exciting. Doing the World Race is not easy, but today I just got to enjoy the fact that God puts us right where He wants us. Before this month I had told my teammates that I wanted to spend my last month at an orphanage, and when I found out that was a potential option I was excited. Then I found out it was on an island in the middle of a huge lake with two volcanoes, which made me more excited. Ometepe Island is beautiful, and CICRIN orphanage is awesome = Jeff wants to go. So I prayed and asked God to send my team there, and I told my team leader Laura to get me a bus ticket to Ometepe Island or a plane ticket home. Praise God, my team got to go where I hoped we would, and she did not have to buy my plane ticket home.
So far I love the kids, love the staff and love the place. Today I sat during the post lunch siesta in the hammock gazebo overlooking the beautiful Lake Nicaragua listening to my Nicaraguan brother play Spanish worship music on his guitar. He sounded good, the breeze was good and the view was good, therefore after a good morning of cement mixing and wall building I was completely content with my life. Then I thought about this being my last month of the World Race and me being back in the U.S.A. next month without a job, without a girl and with a different perspective.
What did I feel next? Fear, doubt, worry, or maybe even some self-pity. No I still felt content because God has US right where HE wants US. That is the TRUTH.
