Through the eyes of the Lord

Well, all I can say is WOW! I have so many mixed feelings about this trip. I am feeling safe, joyful and comfortable, even when I am out of my comfort zone. There are so many things to share at a later time about the trip. When we went canvassing the second time for children to attend our second VBS yesterday, it was a very humbling experience. I have a picture in my mind of the areas where we went and the environment and the people. There would be lots of other people who would feel sad at what I saw. Maybe it is my lack of compassion that I do tend to have (I am trying to work on that through prayer) but I actually felt JOY in so many ways instead. All of the people are so happy. I realize we are in the one of the top murder capitals in the world. The streets, environment and people are so different than what I am accustomed to. BUT....God gave me the ability to see all of these things through HIS eyes. It is truly amazing that although I am constantly staying cautious, I am not scared at all. That's HUGE for me to say cause even the driving here ( with me always in the front seat because of my injury) is nuts. No rules at all.....no speed limits followed, lanes all over the place and people doing whatever they want to behind the wheel.  Only God could provide the peace and comfort and joy I am experiencing. It is really cool to serve the Lord as a family in another country. It thrills me to see my husband and the kids and their zeal for serving. We are all safe, healthy and surrounded in prayer. Thanks so much to you all who are following the blog and praying for us as well. God will bring us all home safely and has His hand of protection over us spiritually, physically and emotionally. I love you all.

Resting in Him,
