So by now, our team has already made plans, bought plane tickets, have dates and schedules made ready for our trip. We have none of this right now and how it is looking, we may not be going in 2021. This is really a hard pill to swallow. I look forward to the work we do every year in Honduras. I know the work we do benefits the people there. I pray that we will be able to start planning a trip for the summer this year after the holidays.
I want to shout, "I HATE YOU COVID!!!!" because this has caused so much of us to focus on the negative. But what is the positives that we can look at form all of this?
* even though we are separated by our extended families, we have gotten closer to our families in our household. I am forced to talk about other things than work. We are with each other so much! And for those households that have young kids in school. I pray for you! I could not imagine having to be a school teacher and to try to do it online with the teachers.
* We have learned to do different things, crafts, home repairs, hobbies. I have started to do my exercise at home. Now that is a sight!
* we have learned to love ourselves. I can dress up my sweats like no one has ever seen!
* we have taken the time to get to know God. I have started a Bible study with a friend and it has helped so much in keeping in contact with God.
* it has taught us to THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.
So as I pray for our 2021 trip and hope that it will happen, I know God has a bigger plan and I am part of that. I will do what he asks of me.
As in the Bible study I am in now, I am not in control and need to give this over to God. He is the God of the Universe and if he can create the Universe, then he will be able to get us through all our troubles.
I pray you all stay safe and wear your mask. Protect yourself and others. We can get through this together!
Bendiciones,
