last update-2 weeks ago


I am back in honduras after being in the states for three and half weeks. being back in honduras has been hard this time, i will not lie. as most of you know, the reason for my trip home was to take my daughter heidy to live in oklahoma and study at a university. what an answer to our prayers. God has spoken to obediant hearts to reach out and help us provide heidy with the best possible education. thank you to the Bullard family of edmond, oklahoma, for opening your home to my daughter and providing her with the opportunity to study and earn a college degree. she is adjusting well and really enjoys being with this precious family. monday, august 23rd, she will be starting classes at the university of cntral oklahoma!! thank you, Father! we see how You made this happen every step of the way. pray for Heidy, please. classes are not going to be easy and she is really going to have to work hard and stay focused. pray for her relationship with God to become more intimate as she learns to lean on Him more and more during this time of change and hard work.
as for me, the adjustment seems to be way harder. i now have an empty nest as you say and am missing having Heidy around. it has been hard but i know God has huge plans for us both in this next stage in our journey. please pray for me to continue to have peace and use the quiet times to listen better and pray more.
since being back, we have all as staff come to an agreement that we really need our own space for the youth group and ministry avtivities and office. a building i looked at before i left for the states is still available. we have all gone and looked it over and we all LOVE it. it will work perfectly for our needs right now. we are desperate for our own space for our growing youth group. the community center has been great but it's just that...a community center. we are not the only ones that use that space. we are desperate to be able to have a space where we can set up chairs and sound system and so on and not have to pack it all up the same day. we want to be able to have more activities and a place to hold meetings and so on. so please be in prayer with us as we seek our Lord to show us His will and bring us His provision. our goal is to hopefully rent the place by the end of the month.
thank you to all of you who give, who pray and encourage me along the path of this adventure and journey. it was SO good to be able to spend time with some of you while i was home. it always encourages me and helps me keep going. i love you all so much!! many blessings!
