As soon as I got off of the plane, my family and I ate. I wanted to go to a country cooking restaurant, so I could order fried okra. Yum. That night I slept in my bed and had a hot shower. Then my family, and I traveled to Columbia, SC to begin celebrating Christmas. I enjoyed a week in my parents house and spending time with the family. I have an amazing family. The Lord has blessed me with much.
Now I am back at my house and just enjoyed a wonderful quiet time with the Lord. It is easy to loose the closeness to the Lord when you are being pulled in a million ways at an orphanage. Many things are always running threw my mind at Casa Bernabe: helping the kids reach the next development milestone, raising these kids in a Christ centered manner, being mindful of the culture, struggling with Spanish, wanting God to fulfill personal desires I have for my life, working on friendships with the staff, and continuing to share Christ with friends I made at language school. It was wonderful to have time with the Lord this morning while putting these thoughts aside. I feel like I just took a breathe of crisp clean air. Refreshing!
