Here I am sitting and enjoying the first sunny day in a while. It is so nice to be able to walk outside without having to wear big boots. But what I am especially happy about is that my pants stay clean. So far I think that I have gone through five pears of pants the past five days. Today I decided to wear something nicer.
GOSH!!!
"Enough talk about clothes"!
Dear friends and family,
It is my desire that this newsletter be dripping with brutal honesty. When I came back to Costa Rica, the first night I could hardly sleep. I wonder somtimes if the apostles ever cried because they missed their families. When I read biographies they seem to neglect to mention the hard times that the missionaries went through. I know that they exist but it can get a bit discouraging when all you hear about is the victories. Sometimes I stand on the brink of defeat...
"When I am weak then You are strong"
We are all human and we encounter those moments when we meet the brink of defeat. The only thing that keep me or anyone else from giving up faith is Jesus Christ. If He had not exibitied His love for us the way He did on the cross we all would have forsaken righteousness a long time ago. By the sacrifice He made I can be confident of the outstanding power of His love. It was all the suffering He took all the hate He faced, every drop of blood that fell from His body was His way of saying:
¨Neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor things present nor things to come nor powers nor height nor death nor any other created thing could seperate you from the love I have for you.¨ Romans 8
The truth be known, it was the love from my family that I missed the most. How beautiful it was to fall into the arms of my loving God. In my tears all I had to do was call upon my Daddy.
No matter where I am in this world, I will never be without love.
Thank you Father God for Your unending love.
