Ok, I realize that it has been a long, LONG time since I have bloged. Life just gets so busy it is crazy!!! From getting up in the early EARLY morning to going to bed at 11 or midnight, life is just crazy. But its a good crazy!!! I love what God is allowing me to do here. From being a poppi to three great boys, serving people in the communities, visiting the sick in the hospital, preparing for several great groups of people and forming relationships with people in the dump, life is great.
I am starting to realize that serving people is great, however, forming relationships with people is what I believe its all about. While the Belpre group was here I met a boy at the dump. He stuck out like a sore thumb. He had on nice clothes and a bright clean white t-shirt. I noticed him when we first arrived and then noticed him again throughout the time while we were there. After about 30 minutes of feeding people, I went over to talk to him (in my broken spanish). We got to talking and I figured out that he was there to look for old and broken electronic parts for his grandmother, who he lived with. I took his phone number because he said that he was interested in helping us serve his fellow Honduran people. For some reason today, I saw this young man in the middle of the city. I tried to get his attention but I guess that he didn't hear me. I pray tonight that God allows me to meet up with him again soon. God just keeps putting people into my life and the more time we spend together, just talking about life and telling stories and listening and caring, I feel as if we are getting closer and closer to God. I believe this is what ministry is for me (as of now). Helping grow and form relationships so that people can see Christ through me. Me being here in Honduras isn't about me, its about the glory God receives. Of course sometimes I struggle with this, however, I am reminded of it every day. That this is all for God. My prayer tonight is that God is glorified in everything we do here, not matter what the cost may be.
