Un Dia La Vez

One day at a time,
This is one of my favorite Spanish worship songs. It is constantly in my head. One day at a time. Each day is different. So I must wake up each day, release what happened the previous day and thank God for one more day to praise Him, to serve Him, to have breath.
Today, Lune 20 de Julio, I began my second week at PRODIM teaching english. I am growing to love my students more and more. I want to focus this week on teaching them well, but also on getting to know about them and their lives. Pray for one student, she is in the middle of a custody battle between a big-hearted church member who wants to adopt her and an abusive father. She is a quiet sweet little 11 year old, with an older sister (13 years old) who is living in a govt. home, because she is pregnant by her father. I keep hearing stories like this. Please pray for the staff of PRODIM as they will be the ones who will be able to be there for the kids throughout the years.
My life here consists of constant interaction with Spanish and trying to keep up and my clases at PRODIM. This Friday I hope to help put in the afternoon with a school for children with special needs. I am very excited about this and will write more about it later. This past weekend I was able to take a day away with Norma, Aldo (her son), and another visiting gringa named Erin to a small mountian village called La Esperanza. Its a traditional Honduran village, because it is population mostly by the Lenca people. It was absolutely gorgeous! Plus I am very grateful for the blessing of speaking English with others.
I have been thinking about how much I love to worship God through song, prayer and Bible reading with the Body in my own language. My heart feels most refreashed by this. I guess I have a great appreciation for the different language churches in the states by feeling within myself the struggle of not being able to proclaim praises to God in my heart language.
Another thing that I has been occupying my thoughts lately has been my future. This may be a great time for the Lord to express to me a clearer visión for the future, as I am isolated from my normal comfortable life. Please pray for this. I have been talking with the Martinezes about what it is to live a life dedicated to serving God by serving the poor, which has been their life thus far. I believe that God has called me to work for and with the poor, but in what capacity (specific calling) I am still unsure.
Thank you for you prayers and for all your love! And I am praying for you too!
God Bless! Dios Le Bendiga!
