So, my prayers were to see Mary come to the foundation before I leave Colombia which is in just a few short days. Well, the Lord answered a part of my prayer I saw her again while at Aguapanela this past Wednesday. My heart leapt for joy when I saw her but then I got a little sad because she was still on the streets. My teammate Erika was with me handing out cups and I attempted to talk with Mary. She smiled when she saw me then Erika asked in Spanish if she remembered me and she replied yes. We were the only ones handing out cups so it was difficult to talk because the line of homeless people waiting for cups seems never ending. Plus, it’s a little chaotic because most of them are high or drunk so there’s lots of yelling and not making any sense. I prayed with her as the line was moving and before I knew it I couldn’t see her anymore. I couldn’t leave because we didn’t have anyone else to take over my position plus we have a buddy system we always stay in groups of 2-3 people for safety and wnenever 2-3 are gathered the Lord is near. I didn’t even have a minute to get disappointed because I looked to my right and saw Mary half way down the street looking back at me. I blew her a kiss and she blew one back. The Lord is so, so good like that he never wants us to feel sad or disappointed in any situation. I know he’s in control of everything and I know Mary will come to know HIM and get the help she deserves. I’d love if we all rallied around Mary in prayer because prayer is so powerful .
Love, Monica
