Some days are just harder than others.. June 26, 2008
These past few days have been crazy. Yesterday we were able to go to guadalajara for the day. We saw a movie and got some paint to fix up the casita where we are moving to. It was nice to get away for a while, I needed the mental rest. It’s normal to get to the the end of the day and think “I didn’t do a whole lot but I am exhausted!!” One of the boys skipped school and ran away. We haven’t been able to find him yet but I know he will come back soon. We all prayed for him and made sure that the boys understood that where they are now is a home and that all of the bad things that happen to them in the past were not going to happen here. Jorge, the man who stays with them at night, told them he would be by their beds praying for them every night. I really do love these kids. Sometimes I forget they have a past. I think about what horrible things they had to go through and what kind of emotions they have to deal with. It makes me so sad.. I know satan is working overtime and trying to attack me through my thoughts and emotions but I know that he will not win. I know the Lord has me here for a reason. My heart is to hear the Lord and in everything I do, do it according to His will and not my own. Be praying that I will have strength for each day. That I will hear the Lord more clearly and when I am with the boys, they don’t see me but they see the heart of God.
