WOW! I cannot believe in just 36 days I will be in Honduras starting a wonderful week filled with serving Our Great God! I cannot believe how quickly it is coming -- it seems literally that just a short while ago I was on the phone asking my parents if it was okay, sending in my deposit and thinking how crazy far away 4 months would be. Well... three of those months have already gone by!
The Lord has been providing and preparing me in so many ways for this trip! First off, He allowed my family and friends to join in on this trip by helping sponsor me in going and by becoming my own little prayer team! The fact that I have those people in my life who are so supportive of me and believe in me and what I want to do when I'm there is so reassuring and gives me so much confidence. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with such awesome people in my life!
He has also been teaching and breaking my heart in more ways than I can count, especially in the past couple weeks. It all started out when I got to work with a few foster children at the elementary. My heart hurt for them, and I loved getting to see them and spend individualized time with them each week. I also read a book entitled "Kisses from Katie" (READ IT- SO GOOD!) that broke my heart a little bit more for all the children in the world who don't have families and who don't know what love is. That has become a passion of mine, and I am trying to find all the ways that I can help these precious children out. Orphans and foster children have become a passion of mine (One of my campers from this past summer was adopted officially by her foster care family when she was at camp -- talking with her this summer might have been what really started this passion). God has been preparing my heart and growing this passion inside of me, and I cannot wait to play and teach and LOVE on those precious precious children in the orphanage when I'm in Honduras. God's beautiful and perfect sons and daughters! Cannot wait!
The saying "God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called" has seriously been so true in my life! I knew that He wanted me going to Honduras on this trip, and at the time I had no idea what I was doing and didn't have any passion out of the ordinary for this beautiful children who don't have homes and families. He sure has grown that inside of me!!!
I cannot wait to see what else God is going to teach me in these next 36 days before I leave!!
