A Stirring Inside

I feel like there are so many things stirring up inside of me right now. I know that I am being completely vulnerable in sharing my heart with you all, but who better to share these things with than with my family & friends who have joined me on this amazing journey….

Every time I see a child, I feel this wave of compassion rush over me, and I cannot help but smile. Whenever I feel homesick, I just need to see a child, and I am reminded why the Father has brought me here. I feel this stretching as God is having me step out of my comfort zone to assist and complete tasks that I did not think I would be asked to take on, such as tutoring the ER staff in English, editing letters and proposals they submit to ER headquarters in the States as well as to other organizations. But these are tasks that I know will not only benefit me in the long run but are also a blessing to them because I said “yes” to the challenge. The desire to one day have my own ministry or come alongside another ministry in need has only become stronger, and my head swarms with ideas and the endless possibilities of what could be. My heart longs to spend more and more time with our Abba Father, but it seems like no amount of time is sufficient for my longing.

It almost seems overwhelming to sit and process everything that the Father is doing in my life and at the same time fulfill my tasks at MCH, volunteer at IT-Tender as well as attend language school. Still, I wouldn't want to be doing anything else. However, I continually feel the Father’s peace as I go about my day, and I am truly learning to live day by day...it seems simple. Still, it’s definitely a process for me, especially coming from a culture where we always think about what the next day will bring, and in doing so, we often miss out on the beautiful things that are right in front of us.

I am still very humbled by everyone’s love and support that you have shown and continue to show. Your financial support, prayers, and even notes of encouragement do make a difference…so thank you! Salamat Po! I pray that every one of you continues to let the Father take you deeper in His love and that in doing so, you can take a step back from your busy life and see the beauty that is right in front of you.
