After a year...

I've always been some sort of organizer. Since the elementary days of organizing events to organizing my head so I can get multiple tasks done. Today, I hardly do that. Burned out perhaps, too many years planning lesson plans for multiple level children, planning meals for my family, planning Sunday School, planning church activities, planning these moves, don't know but I can't live without it. After a year here in Guatemala, we've moved 3 times, gotten 2 dogs, an apartment full of "stuff", more school scheduled and trying to narrow our scope of ministry. I would like to say that our highlights have been saving lives and bringing people to Jesus but in reality it has been adapting and searching for our "niche". Those that know us, know what we are good at. Those that are getting to know us give us words of encouragement and gratitude for our service to those we come in contact. Deep in my heart I know what my purpose is...it is not what I am good at or what I am known for. My purpose is to please my Father, enjoying His Company in my day to day walk, and be good to my fellow men. There are things I want to do for example, I want to get to know my neighborhood and perhaps show Jesus in being a good neighbor. My hope is to teach the Mayan Women about health, birth and God. In return I hope to learn from them resilience, patience and endurance among many other qualities they have. I must focus and organize myself, my house, my time and my priorities to accomplish those things I desire to do and those things that pleases my Father in Heaven...hope to continue bloggin..
