This week I have really been trying to spend more time with God.
I have been neglecting my time with Him, allowing for other things to get in the way and it has really taken its toll on me. I do not know about you but I can tell when I have not been spending enough time with God. I am just so much more drained and do not have much of the joy that comes with knowing the Lord. And that then can affect my relationships and attitudes and focus on why I am here and that is no bueno.
So since Meg has been away, I have used my time alone to spend my time with the Lord and I already feel much better. I am still tired but that is from my own lack of sleep lately. Which I intend on changing this weekend. ha ha.
I have just been doing the usual things this week with the kids, watching movies more because it is so hot outside. So not so much soccer. Although I cannot really play anyway because my leg is still not better. I mean when I am walking it is fine but even when I start jogging now it hurts. I do not really know what to do about that.
I hungout with Vanessa this week which I enjoyed because we have never hungout before and I would really like to make friends with some of the Peruvian girls. She is really sweet and I look forward to hanging out more with her.
I really do not have much to say in the life of the kids other than that I love them, regardless of how frustrated I get sometimes. The smiles on their faces and the joy in their eyes when they hug me is enough to melt any frustrations right away. I am happy that they still are excited to see me everyday and sad to see me go everyday. I hope that means that I am making a difference in their lives. I love them all so very much and only want the best for them.
I have not gotten to spend much time with the boys lately which is disappointing. They need love and attention just as much as all these girls do and so I try to make time for them. It has just been so hot that I have not wanted to be outside much. I guess I need to sacrifice a little in that area. ha ha.
Ruth Karina was sick last night and still is today so prayers for her are appreciated.
School starts next week so prayers for that as well. Pray for the school, that we have enough students to have the right income and that the teachers would really do their jobs and that wherever God wants me to help in the school aspect, He would guide me accordingly.
Meg, Avis, and the Pastors return from Lima this weekend. They have been at a conference for the week where Hillsong was. I had the option of going but really did not feel like I should go this time. I pray God worked in their lives in mighty ways.
Anyway, I need to eat lunch and enjoy my time off right now. Take care and God bless.

You know I have really felt like that here too. I get so caught up in what I have to get done or what is going on that I haven't really spent the time that I want to with God. That really took a toll on me this week. Things are looking up now though. I just need to stay focused so much is getting me off so I can relate there.
ReplyDeleteAw poor Ruth Karina. Being sick is no fun! Tell her I hope she feels better and will be praying for a fast recovery.
How hot does it get there this time of year anyway? I mean I know it is hot but does it get hotter then you are use to in the states? Can't wait to skype you soon!
Te amo Ratita!
