Don't assume, you might be surprised

Your mind thinks you know everything about a person and where their life has been and then BAM... They tell you so much in a trustful way, and it's like the air has been sucked out of you. You start to think that maybe you have had it so so easy and have been so incredibly blind to other circumstances. I have gained so much respect for people like that. They are so incredibly strong in the Lord because of all they have had to suffer. Another country feels like a whole other planet. Everything you thought was, is not quite as it seems. Soon i'm falling further and further in love with the people and the country of Honduras. They may be behind America in money, but the faith of the believers definitely can move mountains. They are so strong it makes me feel like a baby in the faith. And possibly maybe I am. Man, I am going to cry. My heart feels so torn it's almost incomprehensible. So many emotions wrapped in this body called Delaney.. Oh Lord God, I really don't know much do I? Please take me into Your loving arms and show me where to go. I know You didn't introduce these people to me so I could feel stupid, but You are trying to teach me something. I am so amazed and so grateful for all You have done and are doing and will do in the lives of me and my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord in the beautiful village of San Antonio. Really, I am also so awestruck at what You are doing with Your people here and around the whole world. I only want to serve You for the rest of my life. I hope to do so in La Villa, but that is up to You only. I need only to hold on to You and listen for Your commands, following them accordingly. I don't know everything now, I am so far from it. But You have grabbed my heart by the country of Honduras for a reason, and I wish ever so much to find out what that is.

I am in love

I am in love. I am in love with a country and a people. A beautiful beautiful people. I love them, and I miss them so much. It's so hard for me to be away.I wish to be with them but at this moment God has me here. If I could jump on a plane right now and return I would. My heart was buried deep in the Honduran soil. For now, I can have peace in knowing that God has my whole life in Hands. Thank You Lord for all You have done and will do. Please bless and protect my sisters and brothers in Christ here and in La Villa. I miss them. Please return me to them in Your time if You will it.. Gracias a DIOS!!

Living in the dark, now in His Light

Ephesians 5:8-11 You used to be like people living in the dark, but now you are people of the light because you belong to the Lord. So act like people of the light and make your light shine. Be good and honest and truthful, as you try to please the Lord. Don't take part in doing those worthless things that are done in the dark. Instead, show how wrong they are. (CEV)

Honesty is the best policy

Wow. I was just honest. and open. and I am really relieved. Yet scared. But the devil is NOT mighty. he will NOT win. Jehovah will be SOVEREIGN... Please take my life oh Lord, take it and make it Yours.

God is always teaching me

Dear God, You really are teaching me aren't You? Well please take me now as a fully given servant.Because, I really am nothing without You. I have to learn so many things in this journey from You if I am going to make it through. Patience. Forgiveness. I get so mad when people aren't there for me who I think should be the closest. When close relatives don't get behind me, it feels like a knife in the stomach. Truly I know, I am NOT perfect. I get frustrated and mad, filled with doubt so easily. When, in reality, Your approval is ALL I should care about. That's the bottom line. Physically, I don't need glasses, but I sure do need some insight when it comes to You. Please grant me Your wisdom as You wish to reveal, and allot to me the portion You have deemed me ready for. I'm Yours. Only Yours. You are my ONLY God, there shall be NO idols before You! If I slip, please help me throw away any idol I have built up. I feel so weak Lord, like I might crumble at the slightest blow. But You are SO in control. Do You notice I keep saying 'but'? Like I should already know and do this stuff. Boy, it's one way to humility, though in truth I should love to avoid it. Please bless my dear sisters and brothers in Christ in La Villa, Livonia, Canton, and Southfield,in Africa, Indonesia, an around the world.. Please feed YOUR sheep oh Senor!! You are HOLY! GREAT AND MIGHTY! THE MOON AND THE STARS DECLARE WHO YOU ARE! IM SO UNWORTHY BUT STILL YOU LOVE ME! I love this song, . Please protect Your children and let Your Word spread like a wildfire. Please help the people of La Villa to walk in Your will. Help ALL the world walk in Your will please!. I love my brothers and sisters in La Villa so very much and I pray you will protect them, guard them, bless them, feed them, nurture them, grow them! If it is Your will oh God, please bring me back to them in Your time, not mine. Help me to be patient, forgiving to those who don't understand, and willing always to listen to good advice which You have put in faithful people to tell me. Please help me soak up Your Word and apply it and hold it in my heart.
Amen
