Here in Chile the leaves are brilliant colors and are falling to the ground, signaling that winters lies ahead. I reflect back on God´s faithfulness and goodness. I am certain God is good, and that He never changes, and with hope and joy I look forward to the next season in life. With eyes aglow with anticipation, I expectantly begin this new season with its scents, colors, flavors, joys and tears.
I take hold of my Father´s hand and together we walk through the door He has opened for these next months and years.
He has been faithful and forever will be. He has brought me to new heights and has seen the dark recesses of my heart. He pulls me up when I am without strength. He is my rock. He is the burning bush, the living God, the Great I am. Now, with confidence I take yet again another step into this life He has planned for me. The life He designed to sharpen, refine, grow, and bless me and so bless the nations through me.
On the 20th of June I will celebrate my 3 year anniversary of living in Chile! Time has flown by and I have learned so much. I´m glad to say that we´re (Jesus, you, and me!) going to tack a few more years onto my time here. God keeps opening doors to continue working for Him; this time in Southern Chile. There is a project that I will specifically be working with and yes, it involves children, go figure! I feel joy and peace in returning but this joy doesn´t diminish the sacrifice. I dearly love and miss my family (yes, you too!) in the USA but I am glad knowing that my time in Chile isn´t over yet. I have my tickets to go to the states. I will fly out of Chile July 12th and have a return date of November 29th, 2011.
I look forward to seeing you all and sharing this new season in more detail at home. Thank you all for your love and support. See you soon!
