Reality


Reality has never been apart of my brain, I try to keep it at arm's length and not worry about it, but there it is.. trying to get in my head and knock some common sense into me. But here in Bolivia I am really tapping into reality and learning how different the world is from the "Kingdom" world. God's kingdom of people who are totally devoted to Him an His will.

Yesterday I went to the girls home and I was shocked to find the 3 girls that weren't in school totally unsupervised. There wasn't an adult! Ahhh I was thinking how awful it was for those girls to be alone all day... doing nothing. What if someone comes in and hurts them? What are they eating? But then the Lord quietly tapped me on the shoulder and said "You must not know that they have more than most of the kids in the country" And He was right, of course. Most kids here never gets watched, they have no parents, no food, no anything! So I was praising God for what they DID have, and just praying that the Lord will bless them. I was walking around the home and looking into the rooms and I saw a little photo that was cut out. I went up to it to see who it was, and it was Colleen Greer! I was so blessed to see that the girls still remember the kindness of the teams that came last year.

Also yesterday I chaperoned a movie at the school for all the honor roll students..and the first graders ended up seeing G.I.Joe which was completely inappropriate but thats a WHOLE other can of worms that is causing me to feel homesick. But the Lord is with me and will protect me, He heals me and restores my tired body. If you read this, be praying for me please. Yayaya woop.
