Available…for His glory.

I just need to take a minute to talk about some folks. First off my peeps back home. Sister Girls eldest is currently in Uganda. And I alternate between being so glad for her I could burst and being so jealous I could cry. She sent me a message that she got to see my Rahman Noodle. It made me so happy. But so sad. I long to return there and just love on my two kids. And sit and talk with my Ugandan friends about what God is doing there. And pray for God to just do His work.
And a friend of mine who will more than likely be gettin two foster kids in the next couple of weeks. This friend keeps telling me how much I am doing for the kingdom and she doesn’t want to bother me with the small things in her life. I told her tonight while we talked that she can either step up to my pedestal or she can take me down off mine. Such a kingdom work she is in the middle of. It makes my heart proud. And pray much for her and her family in days to come.
And for here. For those who continually put themselves out there for these kids. Friday night the girl volunteers had a prayer and praise time down at the store and it was honestly so good to selfishly just pray and sing in English. To pray together. And read scripture. And exalt His name. And just see Him.
I am continually challenged by the viewpoint of some of these sisters who were born around the time I graduated from High School. The way they love kids and The Lord. And struggle through both. To be honest with God and at times willing to share their struggle with me and or others here. It makes me at times not feel like I’m the only fool who struggles with “that”. And it makes me want to run to Jesus more. To be like Him that I see in them.
I already don’t want to think about some of these girls leaving. I know The Lord will sort it out but they are great solid girls who just are living life with me. As always…I am grateful
I feel like I am fighting a lot already this week. Yesterday was a funky Sunday. This morning woke up with my throat hurting and feeling like a cold is in the neighborhood and tonight ate some salsa w my eggs that literally could’ve made a Person drunk. It was 16 months old and evidently sat unrefrigerated for awhile. So now my stomach is doing an unhappy dance. Part of me feels like satan isn’t happy with the work going on round here. Join in praying for some slam dunking satan in the ground please.
And Lourdes asked me if I talked with my girl and she shared some more history on her and her current situation too. It just makes my heart break more and resolve to speak truth into these girls lives. Hope. Peace. Love. Salvation. Joy.
Got in some work time today at the office and have a long to do list for the week. Good deal. 🙂
Tomorrow is my yard night. I have learned to really cherish my time. And more of my older girls are talkin to me about English and Spanish which is great. They learn English. I learn Spanish. Win win.
Grateful for each day.
Prayers for you all.
