More Than We Can Imagine

July 5

Things were a little scattered this morning, at least that’s what it seemed like. While we were having our meeting with Gracie she went over the list of things we had to do for the day, but for the most part we just had to get through the morning and the rest of the day would be fine. Evelin, Jen and Miriam went to town to run some errands which left me with the girls for the English and Sign (sign language) class, and that was fine. I actually really enjoy teaching the girls English, plus I’m forced to actually use the little Spanish that I actually know. But God has just been so faithful in helping me find ways to communicate with them. It’s funny how the verse on the top page of my journal for this day hits the spot - “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us…” (Eph. 3:20) He really is able to do more than we can imagine. I never thought that I would really be able to communicate with these girls without having to rely so much on Evelin or Gracie to translate, but God comes up with the craziest ways to make things work and it’s SO AWESOME!

               We had our 2^nd class session with the high school kids. Jen did a good job. We were missing a few of the kids, but I really appreciate those who do show up. Franklin wasn’t there, and that didn’t surprise me considering they didn’t have regular classes today, so technically he didn’t really ‘have to” be there. For some reason though, God has placed that kid on my heart and I’m going to do my best to pray for him every night and I really hope God gives us an open window to shed some light into his life. Again, He is able to more than we ask or imagine and I can’t wait to see what trick He pulls with this one.
