~My forever Brother~

2009-02-06T17:56:00.000-08:00

I know I haven't posted in so long! Just to let everyone know I am home now,and in College. Gob Has been so good to me. To be honest I have struggled alot, and I have just come to realize how the mercy of my Father never fails. God is making me stronger and there is no better feeling. Yes there will be good times and bad, but He is always faithful to teach my things through both.

When I was in Guatemala the Lord layed on my heart this song for my sweet special boy Alex and I wanted to share it with you guys. I hoep you enjoy. And I hope all of you are doing wonderful.

Alex you will always be my forever brother~

"HELD"

Two months is too little. They let him go. They had no sudden healing. To think that providence would Take a child from his mother while she prays Is appalling. Who told us we'd be rescued? What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares? We're asking why this happens To us who have died to live? It's unfair.

This is what it means to be held. How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive. This is what it is to be loved. And to know that the promise was When everything fell we'd be held. This hand is bitterness. We want to taste it, let the hatred know our sorrow. The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.

If hope is born of suffering. If this is only the beginning. Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?

Please keep this special boy in your prayers~

PS. I have added a few pictures of my kids here in Texas!!!!! enjoy.

A day at the zoo

2008-07-19T10:22:00.000-07:00

We went to the zoo and the mall yesterday and it was so much fun! The more I am here, the harder it will be to leave. God has done so much in my life these past 4 1/2 months, and honestly it scares me to go home, not that home is bad..but I don't want to go back being the same person I was when I came here in April, if that makes any since. I know I need to surrender to the Lord, but its hard at times.It will be a new season in my life when I get home, with college and where I am with God..I am excited but also scared.

In other news a few of my family members arrive in Guatemala next week, man I am so excited for that. Dang I miss my sister:) Mel's big team gets here two days after my family gets here,it will be a crazy week..but such a blast. Please pray that everything goes well with the team. Also keep the kids at Hermano pedro in your prayers.

I have attached a few pictures of our day yesterday, I hope you guys like them!
