Daughter of the King
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
Hello there! I just got back from hiking the Cañón del Nacapule and seeing the oasis. And the oasis by the way, is not at all like in cartoons. Yesterday we spent a majority of the morning and afternoon working on bunk beds for when kids come in. It feels like we are finally doing something. Though I know that Brian has been doing lots, it just all legal work but for me it feels like I haven't been doing much. And yeah, Agustin started working for us last Monday. He will be with us for sure for a full year helping with fixing the house, making bunk beds and such. Then yesterday evening we saw another tarantula! This one was a lot bigger and more developed than the last one. Brian had an ice-cream pail and he was going to trap it. (look how focused he is in the picture) I do not know what happened but then all of a sudden the tarantula fell and started running all over the place. They can run so fast. It was actually quite freaky since I wasn't that far away. And the reason I was standing closer and not worried was because Clarissa had told me a different time that they walk very slowly, but I didn't realize that doesn't apply when they are scared. So yeah, they managed to get the pail on top of it, slide something flat underneath, and put the lid on, then throw it off the patio. I am anxious to get kids into our house. I know we already have a baby, which is great, though I would love to have kids that are a little bit older so that I can build more of a relationship with them. We almost got 2 older kids already, but it ended up not working. I have already met these two, and they are absolutely wonderful. So my hopes are high, that we will still get them. Though I will not release the names, prayer would be awesome for these kids! Whether we get them or we don't. Again, I must remember God has absolutely everything under control. He can see the bigger picture which I can not. He already knows which kids we are going to get, so I must trust in his timing and his choices. And on top of that, I must enjoy my time here without the kids. I must allow God to prepare me for when they do come, by spending lot's of time in prayer and in his word. I need him to fill me up so that I can pour his love out. Thank you again for reading and for praying. You are loved so much by me. Oh and prayer that I would learn Spanish would be great. I am having a hard time with my memory. Plus I haven't been given that many opportunities to practice, we always just speak english around here. So yeah, and prayer also that I wouldn't shy from trying to speak it, even when I know I am probably wrong. We learn best from making mistakes right?
Have a good one!
