When did I get old?

When did I get old?  I mean, I just look down and one day I feel young and then today I feel old.  I looked down at my hand today while driving home and this is what I see. 

I don't know when it happened, but all I know is that I was young yesterday and today I have wrinkles.  Now, don't get me wrong, it isn't a bad thing, because I know that is just how life is.  BUT, it just came on me so fast.  I look in the mirror and still see me at 22 yr, getting ready to get married, with all these big dreams of how my life is going to be.  Then I blinked.  And now it is 28 years later. WOW.  Looking at my life there is so much I still want to do yet there is so much that I have done.  

One thing that I know for sure. GOD ISN'T FINISHED WITH ME YET! No matter how old I am.  I still have a lot to accomplish.  

Eph. 2:10- "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

Love to all,

I'm back

Well, I'm back from an amazing trip to Honduras! Our team did so many wonderful things and we were able to witness to so many people during our stay.  I was reunited with some old friends that I consider my family and made some new ones.  It was tiring and at times I felt satan trying to stop us, but we were able to overcome.  God is so good.  I have a you tube video with some pictures for you to view if you want to see more.

So now I am back in my world and I must continue on.   Every time I return, I always find it hard to go back to my way of life.  Back to work, back to bills, back to doctor visits, back to tests.  And all this just brings me down sometimes.  I had my mammogram and bone density test last week.  I am still waiting on the results.  But you know what?  I am not worried anymore.  I trust God will carry me if the results are not what I am looking for and he will celebrate with me if they are good.  So I wait, which is hard to do in this world where you want immediate satisfaction.  I just remember what I have experienced over the 19 days in Honduras through 7 clinics and the care we gave the people there.  There are 2 things that I have taken with me that I will not forget.
1. I was able to witness the anointing of a church that is new and be a part of the first service they had in it.  I was there in that town 2 years ago when they didn't have an evangelical church and didn't know of Jesus.  I was a part of the start of this wonderful work of God and to see it come to the completion of the church is-- well there are no words for the emotion for this experience.
2. My next memory is what keeps resonating throughout all the clinics- a mom would say "I have to choose between feeding my children or getting them medicine."  This is how poor. They have no insurance, no healthcare like we do, no support.  It makes me so sick of how my life is with a cabinet full of medicine and they cannot get the basic medicines.  My prayer is for their health and wellbeing.
And this is why I go.  Every year.  To help those who need it.  Yes we have needs here in the US, but I feel God pulling my  heart to Honduras.  To show them God's love and compassion where it is needed too. There is so many scripture on missions- here is a few.
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father sent me, so I am sending you.”
–John 20:21 (NIV)

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
–Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
–Psalm 105:1 (NIV)

He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
–Luke 10:2 (NIV)
