It's been a while. Sorry about that. When you really do not have good internet, it is like you do not have internet at all.
Plus, there for a while I was pretty busy, even though I was not with the kids much.
Last week was busy trying to get into the school some, get around the kids some, and then hanging out with people. Easter did not feel like it was Easter because nothing special happened here. It was just another day here in Peru. It was weird, not going to lie. And it made me miss my family not to be with them during Easter weekend.
I feel like God is trying to teach me how to see myself the way He sees me. To see how much He loves me.
Because I get hit on by all these people, and creepers, and they make me feel like a piece of meat, an object, nothing beautiful and lovely. Nothing that I want but that I have settled for in the past. And not anymore.
So it is somewhat ironic that God is trying to teach me that.
Because as my sister said, maybe if I had guys treating me the way I deserve to be treated, that I would not be able to see how much the Father loves me and how beautiful He sees me because I would be finding my satisfaction in the words and actions of people, rather than finding it from God.
So although I do not enjoy the attractions of men here, I need to not be stubborn and fighting the Lord in this. I want so desperately to know the depth of His love and how He sees me. So I need to let Him in and stop running.
We got a new schedule on Tuesday and started in on it on Wednesday.
We will be busy again, finally after almost 3 weeks of nothing but trouble, ha ha.
From 8-9 in the morning we play with the 4 and under kids outside.
From 3-4:30 we play with Danilo only. He is the one with disabilities. So we go outside of the orphanage with him.
From 5:30-6:45 we play with the older kids who have no homework.
And then optionally we can spend time with the kids in their houses from 7:30-9:15.
Monday and Friday we have activities with the smaller kids from 10:30-12.
And one day a week we are going to teach the preschoolers english for 30 minutes.
And then Saturday we have activities in the morning with the the younger kids. And in the early evening we have activities with the older kids, such as me cooking in the kitchen with the girls.
And Sunday is our day off.
On Thursdays we will help at school in Mike's class from 10:40-12
And we might get in the classes of Steve as well some days.
"Where you go I go
What you say I say
What you pray I pray
Jesus only did, What he saw you do
He would only say, What he heard you speak
He would only move, When he felt you lead
Following your heart, Following your spirit
How could I expect to walk without you
When every move that Jesus made was in surrender
I would not begin to live without you
For you alone are worthy you are always good"

For you alone are worthy you are ALWAYS good! Those words really stick out to me! God alone is worthy of all we have to give. He created us for a purpose. We are his children and he designed each one of use in his own unique way! You are ALWAYS good! Through it all God has a reason and a timing. He creates good out of the bad. Man that is definetly the kind of guy I want fighting for me!
