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!
