Wow, another long wait between posts. I have stopped to post many times and then just can't seem to figure out what I want to write about. I know this...there is a ton going on! And I am continually excited about what God has me involved in. I have been blessed by the time God has allowed for me to be invested in the lives of those who have been living at the building. The evacuees from New Orleans as well as the others who have needed the place to live have been great to have around. I love this kind of thing. Being around those who are struggling to do life or who have been thrown into chaos in some way is a constant reminder to me of how much we have to trust God. It is like this in Honduras and I love this type of ministry because I can not rely on anything within myself to help. I am so far out of my league that I am continually driven to seek the counsel and advice of God and others whom God has put around me. I have to trust in the community of believers to help as we navigate some really tricky and difficult obstacles. I love that helpless feeling (did I just say that?) because I know that whatever good comes is a direct result of God's intervention. All I know to do is to be available to those God puts in my life. No matter what that means. It is rarely easy, never convienent, and almost always frustrating, but at the same time it is filled with awe and wonder and amazement at what God can do through the imperfect and incapable (that would be me).

I hope to return to New Orleans soon to serve for a few days. Maybe next week.

I will also be headed to Honduras, maybe in early January. I really miss our friends there and long to see how everyone is doing. The boys from San Miguel call about once a week and I really would love to see them again.

See ya
