I am loving Ministry this month. We are working in an orphange with 10 kids with special needs. My heart has become full of more love than I could have imagined. Everyday just seeing their smiling faces warms my heart and brings a smile to my face. It reminds me of my years in a classroom with my students. It reminds me of my calling. I have a special knack when it comes to these kids. It is difficult getting up at 5:30am for baths and a 6:30am breakfast but I don't even notice anymore. I indulge in every moment I get to spend with these kids and every minute that I get to spend serving here on the property.
We went to the dump the other day and two of our kids went with us. I spent the few hours there with one of the girls Andrea just loving on her and keeping her out of the trash. It was a blessing to be with her and just have her sit with me. It was also an experience to have her ride in the back of a dump truck with us. It was an experience for us as well I mean who would have ever thought about that.
As each day changes into the next I look around and think that this isn't real. This isn't my life. I mean it's mad crazy. I am loving each moment but they are fading so quickly and I pray for the next ten months to grow me into the person God needs me to be. I know this was gonna be work but there's a ton of fun involved in the work. I mean I ride in tuk tuks and swim in volcanic springs. Every moment is a blessing and I plan to love each one even the hard ones because they will make me better!
