Look what I found outside of my house!!! A donkey!

MI Dios nunca fallará

My God never will fail. As I am experiencing new things and am being placed in areas I never thought I would be, I know that my God knows what He is doing. Everything I do will be used somehow for Him and His kingdom. One of my biggest fears is public speaking and He has given me the ability to stand in front of 30 some kids and teach! I know that probably doesn't sound like a big deal...teaching kids, but to me ANY group, whether kids or adults, made me so nervous. I on my own am pretty awkward...surprise surprise...I lose my thoughts, don't make any sense, pause. But it's not me but God that can make what I have and use it for something awesome. It should not be about me it's all about Him anyway. Why would I ever be afraid about anything!!? He used Moses with a stutter, He used ordinary people with little education to build His church and preach to the nations. I read a book by C.s. Lewis once and it talked about how the devil presents himself and one way was through self-doubt/insecurity...etc. etc. I definitely believe that but I also believe that God is more powerful! So while I'm here I'm ready to look a little foolish sometimes, get out of my comfort zone and hopefully grow into a better me!

I'm in Honduras...fyi

Hola!! So it's been about 2 months since I arrived in Honduras and I LOVE it...so happy with my decision to disrupt my life and come here, ha. Definitely a scary thing at first but I'm getting to experience so many amazing things and grow closer to God, so it was absolutely worth the change. It's not always easy...being away from Shane and from my family is crazy hard...but I feel this is where I need to be right now. I came here with no real solid plan of what I would be doing but my God is pretty amazing and things fell together for me incredibly smoothly. I have a cute little house to myself, I'm in a community with other Christian girls, we have an amazing Bible study that I get so much out of, I am only a short bus ride away from my grandma,I get to see the most amazing little ones everyday and so much more...i mean perfect right!? I really wanted to experience some sort of medical something when I came here also and the first week I randomly found a Dr. that needed help at his Centro de Salud! So three days a week I volunteer at the health center and everyday I teach. I am teaching seventh grade English and 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade P.E. I definitely never imagined myself teaching but I love it! Everyday I'm here I can't get over how blessed I am to have this opportunity. I have lots of stories I'll have to share sometime but I thought I'd give a quick, long overdue update on my life for now.
