Reminders

Well we heard today it will maybe be another 4 weeks or so..I think it made it easier to know it is not forever..She is so worth what is going on..I told her today that I was thankful that GOD choose her to be our daughter..A friend sent her devotion to me and it talked about it not being so much the outcome of our trials as much as it is how we handle the time from start to finish that brings glory to JESUS..I want to please him..He also gave us these emotions that can really work you sometimes, so that we will learn to give it all to him...We visited the old orphanage buildings today..Nothing but empty soundless buildings..Mari and Marina were there..They are two girls who use to work for the orphanage and also grew up in an orphanage..They are ok..They live with a christian couple who took them in when the old place closed..They are struggling to get by but they are getting by..THey took some money that was given to them and started a little business of selling Ice drinks on the road side..They do ok.The weather is perfect for selling ICE. We have been well into the 100's.
The christian couple who did take them in, the husband lost his job when I first arrived down here so he works with them. They have 3 kids of their own and Mari and Marina. They all stay at the old orphanage sometimes to keep stealing down.They have a very small place they rent.But the mom told me today it is a day by day trust in GOD that carries her thru. I thought my problems were a struggle..People are so in need down here..Today reminded me of what keep me coming down here all these years...People in need. Kids and adults..The need is great and my heart has always been here..Thanks LORD for the reminder..Things are good..My spirit has been lifted by Christ and good friends with words that GOD sends by way of them. I feel a new strength after our visit to the old place..God sent me confirmation about what I am doing and what all lead up to it..Only time will tell what the LORD wants me to do with the things I have learned here..But today put a feeling back in my heart that had been covered by my own needs and thoughts. I also remember all the kids that have been adopted. I miss them alot too. I am thankful for today, LORD. For the vision you have restored to me..That there is more than just me and my works..THere is your work to be done. And after you finish with my growth I will use it to please you..Thanks to everyone back home for the words you send and the love you have shown to Hap and I. Sandra also...We will be home soon..Please keep praying for our papers and favor of JESUS on them as they travel through the system...P.S. I miss and love you more each passing day my husband..And Sandra and I both look forward to being in Florida with you..in the near future...
