We saw 180 people this day, and 13 people accepted Christ!
Today was crazy, so many kids! But there was a dermatologist with us and she was able to treat a lot of skin conditions there. Lots of people needing help and medication that they cannot get without help. Seeing people with respiratory infections, ear infections, then more serious conditions like CHF and heart disease or diabetes and HTN.
My verse for today is “may the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer” Psalm 19:14. When I read this before we left, little did I know God was working on my heart. I was having trouble trying to figure out my place with the clinics, where I should lead and when I should follow. I am trying not to get discouraged and lead the team in the clinics but couldn’t shake the feeling that I was overstepping and should be following the leadership of G&J and our team leader.
When you commit to something like this, you have to trust that God has this and that he will lead you. In my mind I kept thinking, “but I want to have fun, and all of this feels like work.” Well you know where that negativity comes from? Satan. He wants to turn your heart away from what your work is and bring in negative thoughts so that your mission will fail.
I say, NOT TODAY SATAN!!
It is stressful, and it does feel like work. Want to know why? BECAUSE IT IS! But it is what we were called to do. So many depend on us. I just remember the kids and their smiles and laughter when we played with them to keep them busy while waiting. And I remember their cries when we tried to get their temperature and they were scared. The comfort and reassurance we gave with the help and healing.
Keep your eyes fixed on God and you will not fail.
Bendiciones,
