One day at a time...

Its been two weeks since my last update via the blog...I hope you, whoever reads this, is encouraged to keep the faith in the work God has set out for you, specifically. I also know that you too, have trials of your own that you are facing and giants that you are currently defeating in Jesus name! May we lift our eyes to the hills, from where does our help come from? The Lord, almighty to save, is with us to be our comfort, our refuge and also to fight our battles that we may be victorious in Him, that He receives all the glory! Amen!
You may think I wrote that for you alone, but no, I say it for me too! The bible tells us to encourage ourselves in the faith, to stir it up inside us! right?! and boy have I needed it this week!

We may think a 'battle' must be of certain size for it to be called that, and you may think my battle is a small concern and should not have been made bigger. But when mold starts to grow throughout your house, on your walls, on the shoes in the closet, all over the bathroom, this is no small fight! This is a battle we will most likely face as long as we are here but it will not be one to kick me while I'm down! Hah! It has been trying our patience and our stamina, but with Clorox we have it under control. Not to mention the fruits of the Spirit, amen! I've been leaning on Christ and His strength because my strength, due to allergies to the mold and life in general, has dwindled! My eye infection was most likely caused by the mold and Evey may have a slight allergy to it too. Its been a lot of work getting the mold cleared out and will take constant air movement with fans and open windows to keep it clean, not to mention the often scrub down in certain areas.

On a better note, God is moving in our hearts and with strategy we are moving out into the unknown places where people need to hear the good news of Jesus Christ and the redeeming love of God. A few days ago we traveled slowly, down a long and bumpy road for about an hour, until we came to a village finally, its called the 2nd of October, only 5 miles away! hah! and it doesnt have a church! We dont know anything about it but hopefully we will be able to go back soon, inquire, and make some friends...
In the meantime, life is happening here at the Children's Home. Day in and day out, we live as you do with laundry, meals to prepare, a house to clean, children to care for and the such. We are meeting new pastors in the area and continue to scope things our with purpose, seeking the Lord's will everyday.

The kids have been eager to sing and listen to us sing! So we taught them a song we know in Spanish and English and they are doing great with it! Some of you would know it...
"Hablemos de Christo/Let's talk about Jesus" is the name. Anyway, we will continue to teach English and try hard to make it fun and new for them every time we teach so they dont get too bored with it. So pray for our creativity to come alive as we teach them.

Thanks, love and God bless you all...
