In four short months our mission team will be leaving for yet another life changing trip to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. There aren't even enough words to describe how anxious I am getting to go back home to Honduras. Last year I had the opportunity to fly over by myself in order to work out of Casa de Esperanza as well as spend time with some of my family over there. Needless to say, I have been having an extremely rough last couple weeks. It is very disappointing not be getting packed right now in order to leave. Although, July will be here before I know it. Every time I walk past a picture in my room of my little kids in Honduras, my heart aches for them. I have to stop and ask myself, why am I drowning in my weaknesses when these kids have literally...nothing. Their daily job is to beg on the busy streets of Tegucigalpa, in order to have food for their families to eat. Many of these people don't have enough clothes in order to wear a clean outfit everyday even. But, I am concerned that I might have just worn the same outfit last week sometime. It is sad that myself, as well as many others get caught up in the material world and tend to forget to thank God for the blessing that he has given to us. One thing that has really impressed me about the Hondurans is the faith and strength which they have in God. They rely on God to get them through because they can't even afford to buy the "material attractions" that distract us. Although the economy is tight and jobs are being lost, don't lose hope! God has told us that he will not given us anything that he knows we cannot handle. Please take time today to pray for all the Hondurans, our mission team as we get ready for our trip, and all those who have/need hope in God.
