Enjoying Friends

What an enjoyable day. We arrived at Carlos' at 11:am. Carlos had mentioned to me that he had a friend who does eye exams and glasses. Well I have been without my glasses for about 2 years now so I thought I would check it out. The guy was there when we arrived and did my eye exam. 6 hours later he shows up with a cool pair of progressive lens glasses for a total price of $120. Now is that a blessing of what..During that time Carlos mom Monica and I started the process of tamales..It is alot of work but man what a remarkable meal. Verde and rojo..pork and queso..YUMMY..So I will have to practice when I get home. It was really a relaxing day. They are good christian people who lift me and are turning out to be some of my best friends here. Plus the man who did my glasses donates 40% of his money on glasses to missionarys in Juarez. I am happy to know that our papers are moving but at the same time am fighting with human emotions that want to place fear in me. All fear is given over moment by moment to the LORD..He is my sheild..And anytime I feel any emotions whelling up they are given to him. That is probably one of the most important things I am learning here..Not to dwell on things. To do my best with the knowledge GOD gives me and to turn the rest over to him. Striving to develop the fruits of the spirit is disipline. It doesnt come easy. But with Christ all things are possible. Also when things arent on the what we humans call the good side..I am learning to accept them as lessons from GOD and except them all with joy..Joy to know that GOD will teach me something here if I listen and obey..I was starting to fret the other day over the papers and trying to get them to a translator. I had spoken to one who said he would do what needed to be done..But that old control part of me started to rise and I was within a few blocks of doing it myself when I heard a voice say. GO HOME AND LET ME DO WHAT YOU HAVE ASKED..TRUST ME AND KNOW I AM ABLE..Well I turned that van around in faith and drove the 20 mins back home and there was the proof that GOD didnt need me to cover him...It is a day by day stepping..Stepping back and knowing GOD is in control and I dont have to be..Thats is my weakness and he is working in me...and I am thankful...P.S. I love you my husband ,and look forward to when we can be together again..
