"If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope." - Psalm 130:3-5.
I'm not going to lie. The past couple of months have been extremely difficult. However, I have now reached a point of respite, and it couldn't have come at a more needed time. As I look back, I see how my sin overtook me so many times, and how often I screwed up. A lot. But the great news is that we have forgiveness with the Lord. He offers redemption and comes after me every time I start to fall away. When I am spiritually weak, He is strong for me. I honestly did not know how I was going to get through, and yet here I am, standing strong on the other side. God is faithful. Going through this difficult time has once again strengthened my faith and shown me God's goodness. He truly loves us and wants us to serve Him with a willing heart. When that happens, no matter what He asks of us, He will provide.
Even though school is now finished, my days have continued to be busy. Because of the recent closure of the Tegucigalpa airport, all flights into and out of Honduras are through San Pedro Sula, four hours north of here. I made that trip this past Monday to see off my roommate Jenny, and to welcome a new teacher, Amanda. The nineteen hour day was long and exhausting, but we returned safely. I have been showing Amanda around and trying to help her get acclimated to life in a different culture. I have also started getting things organized for the new school year. I have a lot to do to keep me busy this summer! But I will approach it, and the new school year, with the knowledge that God is able when I am not!
