A New Chapter

Sorry to have not posted in such a long time. The month of May was a big struggle as we had to give up the home where we were living. I was extremely happy there and could not grasp why God was squashing my happiness. The house we moved to was only 5 minutes from the other but it is like daylight and dark. I won't go into all of the details of the differences(even though I did make a list LOL ;0) We also passed the 2 year mark in June. I was having a human moment(yes missionaries are human HEHEHE). Missing family, wondering why no one wants to visit or can't, and changing houses really had me bummed. BUT GOD..... God had not forgotten me and He was working while I was moping. He was molding me while I was trying to make myself fit into a mold. Little by little I have begun to realize I am a missionary wife, not wonderwoman. I am a mom, not June Clever. I cry when I miss family and friends and it's okay. I fall but God is always there to pick me up! I don't have to be perfect to reach people for Christ, even in a foreign land. You want to know how I know? Because God took a nobody like me and allowed me to be a part of a Chilean accepting Christ as her Savior! PRAISE THE HOLY NAME OF GOD!
Guess where she lives....across the street from where we live now. Bailey and her friend Katie (another MK)have been witnessing to her every since we moved here. Her family is Catholic, but she told them and they said they will go to church with us on Sunday. At that point I realized God was not squashing my happiness, but increasing my JOY! On top of that, today we received the keys to the building where we will be starting the church! A new chapter has begun and I anxiously await what God will write in this chapter of our lives!
