It is a beautiful morning again this morning, the patients are waiting to see the doctor. Some of them arrive at 5:00 in the morning carrying their babies or pulling along the small children. Some bring tortillas with them and share them with the children as they wait. Some will still be here at lunch..waiting. Their patience amazes me.
I was walking from the bedroom to the computer and I thought of the verse above and how thought grateful I am that my grandmother made me learn all these verses when I was small. God can always give me a verse when I need it. It is very difficult for me to memorize Bible verses now
Today, we are going to see the governor of Santa Cruz to get his permission to do some things in this area. I always enjoy going to another place and seeing the different views and people. Santa Cruz is a small city and the "county seat" of our area. All the licenses and permits have to be gotten there. It is probably 30 minutes from here.
The staff is also getting ready for my church, Meadow Grove Baptist Church, to be here on Saturday. That will be special for me to see all my church family. They will be working in a small village about an hour away called La Mica. Yesterday, we went to check the progress of the house and church that will be built and the views were breath taking. I can even describe the beauty. It is a long drive but filled with wonderful evidence of God's creation all the way.
When I was first convicted that God wanted me to come to Honduras and work, the first thought I had was...How am I going to live? I had to quit my job and leave my family and friends that I miss greatly but you know God has blessed me so much by being here. I still miss my family and friends and my church but God has given me more family and friends and I have met people that I would never have gotten to know if I had stayed at home. I have the best of both worlds because God has supplied all my needs.
Gotta go, time for devotion at the clinic with the staff.
