I wish I could only bring every one here and give you my feelings.
On the outside it might just seem like a tourist, just amazed and excited about everything.
It is so much more than that.
Five year old brothers and sisters carry and feed their younger siblings.
Dogs walk around free but suffering everywhere.
People down here ask for the shirt or shorts right off of you.
Some take money and run.
This sights are always new and overwhelming.
Some places are nicer on the inside than what they apear on the outside.
Everything is different.
They are in poverty here and yet that still have the poor´er.
I dont know that I am really going anywhere with this story except for the simple fact that you get the full experience of what it is like where I am. I know that I have learned much!!
Patients….
as a missionary you usualy dont follow on schedule
Faith …
even when your not sure about something or a place, knowing God is there
Being a Team…
we always stay together, share together, help each other, protect each other
Prayer …
because it is about being in an intimate relationship with God!!
Listening …
even when you dont have an answer to give, can make a difference, change, and mean more than words.
Many more emotions I have experienced, and many more stories I would love to share, but I will leave on this note… When our team decided to pray and worship at the house the other night, there was a move and atmosphere of God that was so overpouring and cleansing. I know every one of us was touched by God in some way. I know i kept having an image in my mind…..
I was at the foot of cross, close enough so that I was just out of reach of touching Jesus. His arms just seemed so stretched out to me, so long like He has them wrapped around the world.
I was overwhelmed with the sadness, but more than that I kept hearing God tell me
"This is how much I Love You"
I dont know how much that would settle on some of my family or friends heart´s like it did mine but
I am Loved, No matter my past I am forgiven, I am Free of all depression, I am free from pain and suicidle thoughts,
I am his Child he will never forsake
He wraps me in His love
I am his bride
and even if this life doesn´t bring me someone to share my love with and recieve it in return
He is more than enough for me
He loves more more than life itself and
…..
I am so in Love with my Groom!!
