I am sorry to keep you all waiting to see what my answer is regarding going back to Honduras in 2026. I have prayed a lot, and have looked internally at why I want to go, what I can do and is it what God wants, not me. After much thought, and talking it out with the hubs, I SAID YES, I AM GOING!
It helps so much that I have so much support from my hubs. So you ask, what helped me decide? Well, glad you asked. It was like God was talking right to me. Everything from the songs I heard on the radio to my daily devotions, seemed to point me in the direction to serving others. But it was like my personal prayers were getting answered, right there in front of me. I was kinda shocked, but not sure why. Because God will speak to you in ways only you understand, ways he can get through to you.
One devotion was about being fully committed. Not halfway committed, not when it is convenient for you or when you feel like it. Full commitment is a direction. "It means you have set your heart fully toward God and you're pursuing Him with all you have."
Then I got the email, the email with the application. Just before this, I was leaning toward not going. I was talking myself out of it. A lot of things came to mind....time (I am getting ready to move to a new house and my parents are moving in with us), money (it will take all my mission money I have saved, I was thinking I could do 2 send relief tours with it), and then there is traveling internationally. But that application, reading it, put a spark in my heart. A spark that couldn't be ignored. So I mustered up the courage to talk to the hubs, and with his support and blessing, I sent it in.
What will I be doing? I signed up to be a nurse! haha, yes I am a nurse, but it has been a few years since I have worked with the medical clinics. The last time was in 2023, and I kinda of miss it. So I am going back. And I am so excited to see what work we will be doing. Our trip is in July 2026. It will be for one week in LaCampa Honduras.
God can use anyone, no matter what our past is like. God is using me to do something great in my life and he can do the same for you. Now it is time for me to brush up on my Spanish. I have 7 months!
1 Kings 8:61; "And may your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.”
Blessings to you all,
