Praise Post : )

Today is Saturday and I want to praise God for His graciousness to me since my last blog entry. As I wrote before I was feeling lonely and praying for companionship (which I still am and you can too!) and last night and today have been an awesome answer to prayer. Last night I had some tea and sat with Tia Alicia who is going to start the babies home here with her husband. Also, last night the house mom, Tia Alejandra had the night off so Tia Luz, who is 19 years old came to stand in as house mom. Friday nights the girls get to watch movies, so I watched with them for a while and then helped Tia Luz make dinner and just talked with her. I am sooooo thankful for these conversations!! And Tia Luz only speaks Spanish, but she was really patient with me and we actually talked about things friends would talk about… like music and when we became Christians etc. It was so good! Also, today I get to go to a beach house with only 4 of the kids. For a while they weren’t sure if that would happen, but I am excited to go! So, I am feeling rejuvenated and ready for more ministry.

That’s the funny thing right now, actually. I feel like I am super super busy all the time, but also like I don’t really do anything. It’s a weird paradox. But I was talking with one of the other interns who lives off site and comes only like 4 hours a day (quite a different experience than I am having!) and she said she felt the same way when she first came. I am developing relationships with a lot of the kids, which is neat. And as I see it right now, my purpose here is mainly to love the kids and to love and support the others who work here. I guess it’s a good lesson in that we don’t need to “do” things all the time, but just to love God, let Him fill us (Praise God) and to give all that joy He gives us to others.

Life is good here in Mexico.
