Blown Away by a Righteous Redeemer!!

So I had another call with the directora de la school in Honduras. I found out that I probably will be teaching Kindergarten (eEeEeEe!!!) in the mornings, which I am beyond, and I mean BEYOND excited about. In the afternoons, I will probably be assisting a teacher with elementary or 6/7th grade math. Which is definitely exciting as well. Can I just take a moment to be blown away by God's goodness and faithfulness to me? Thank You Jehovah, that You protect me always. Thank You for going beyond the basics, and helping me to go down paths that I never thought I could. In seriousness, I couldn't do ANYTHING without Him. I am weak, He is strong. I was lost, in Him I am found. I am broken, He is the Healer. I am foolish, He is wisdom. I am apathy, He is love. I am tired, He is the energy that I need to make it through each and every day. Amen! This journey has definitely been hard. I have had people question my motives for going back, people have looked at me like I must be out of my mind to want to pay to go somewhere to help others, because I'm not going to college right away, because I might not ever go, because I trust in a Divine Being who knows more about me than I do. On the other hand, I have been extremely blessed by this journey. God has put so many people in my path that have built me up in the faith, who have prayed with me, who have helped to sooth my fears by looking Above and Beyond me, into the creators eyes. People who have challenged me to seek God relentlessly for His plan and not make hasty decisions on my own. People who have encouraged me to read books that will grow me in His wisdom. And God. Wow. He is so good. I could say the most articulate, beautiful, exquisite words to describe Him, and they would not even be .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of what He is. IT'S CRAZY!!. I doubt Him, I struggle against Him, and He still wraps me in His arms and gives me ultimate comfort when I come back to Him, broken in spirit. Thank Lord, Thank YOU. Help me to do each and every thing that you wish me to do. Help me to stay on the straight and narrow, to give you all the glory, respect, honor and credit that YOU ALONE deserve. I am not worthy to be called Your child, yet still You do so. I'm sorry for disobeying You, I'm sorry for doubting You, I'm sorry from running from You in times when I have needed You the most. And I thank You for encouraging me to do better next time, to challenge myself to run to You for everything that I need. AMEN! LET ALL THE EARTH PRAISE OUR GOD! Exodus 15:2 “The LORD is my strength and my defense ; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. 2 Samuel 22:4 “I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies. 2 Samuel 22:47 “The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior! 1 Kings 8:56 “Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses. 1 Chronicles 16:36 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the LORD.” Job 1:21 ....“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.” Psalm 66:20 Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!

Rejoicing

Today is a day that I want to take to rejoice in my Lord God and the people that support me, pray for me, and completely love on me. I don't deserve any of this love, yet it's given so freely. 1 year and 3 months ago, I went to La Villa de San Antonio near Comayagua, Honduras. I fell in love with a country in a little over a week, and have struggled and wrestled with wanting to go back. I didn't understand why my heart had been so broken for a country that I couldn't be in at the moment. I probably have talked with God more this year than I have ever before. People encouraged me to read scripture, to read books on leadership and God, to really seek what God wanted from me, not just what I wanted. God grew my patience and taught me to love myself for who I am because He has transformed me and is still transforming me to do His will and to have true beauty because of Him. This coming January, I will be returning to Honduras to teach at a wonderful school called Ruach in Comayagua. I am beyond thrilled and I just want to extend an enormous thanks to all my friends, mentors, and family who have given me their time, wisdom, and support towards the desire that I believe God has given me. God put you specifically in my life to help me defeat the discouragement of Satan. I love you all and I praise God for you!! God is so good.

Exciting news

I am in the process of applying at a school in Honduras, and it sounds really positive!! I am so excited :) I haven't been on in a while, so i'll update you on new stuff: I had a garage sale over one weekend, running myself almost ragged with little sleep. But it went so amazing!! I was able to raise about $300 over a three day sale. I had a few small donations too, which are not small at all in my mind. Everything God gives to me to further His purpose for me is crazy good. The school is located in Comayagua, Honduras, and it serves low income to higher income children. I may teach 6-7th grade math, but everything is still pretty much in the beginning process, so i don't know for sure yet. The directors are super nice, and I cannot wait to meet them. They are a married couple, they met in Honduras but are both (I believe) originally from the U.S. They have a really cute son, and you can tell that their hearts are on fire and full with passion for God. One of the pastors in La Villa and his new wife work at the school, and I hope to get to know them better in the future. God willing, I will be at the school teaching from feb-november!!!! ITS INCREDIBLE~~ I CANNOT THANK GOD ENOUGH. NEVER! THANK YOU YESHUA WHO ALWAYS, ALWAYS ANSWERS PRAYERS!
