I was put in clinic when I came back in May from my trip home. The nurse, Carelia, went on Emmanuel maternal leave (a week before she had the baby) so I took over for her. It has been an adventure since then. I have had many hospital/doctor runs, high fevers, torsalos also know as bot flies, broken arms, infections, busted heads, and the many other anomalies that the children here at Emmanuel are known to acquire. So needless to say I have been busy. Through the over two months that I have been working in the clinic, I have had the privilege of working with many nurses and doctors. I have learned a lot from each of them all full of knowledge that the Lord gave them to pass on. The Lord really used them to help me understand which pathway he wants me to take this next season of my life. So my thanks is to them for letting Him use them to help my in many aspects.
Now because of my new clinic duties the horse program had to be put on the back burner. The Lord provided help right when it was needed. I had volunteers come in that were able to take the girls and work with the horses. The horses are looking healthier which is all that I can ask for. Thanks to the kids from VBS at WSBC for supplying money to help take care of the horses.
So from the way the before writing reads it might seem like I will be back in the states soon. You have read the signs correctly, I am coming home the thirty first of August. This is so surreal to me that it is that soon and my year I committed will be complete. I feel the Lord leading me in a new and different but exciting direction. However I am going to miss my kids terribly. I don't know what I am going to do with not seeing some of these kids everyday. Now that Carelia is back in clinic I am going to do a few more things with the kids. This past Saturday I was able to cook breakfast and dinner for the older girls house in which I work. We had pancakes and hot chocolate for breakfast and some fried rice with lots of chicken for dinner. I will be cooking again this Saturday for them a breakfast of eggs, beans, sausage, and tortillas and a dinner with spaghetti. This is something that I enjoy doing and something the girls enjoy receiving.
One of my favorite songs from Hillsong United is "Desert Song". The bridge say "All of my life, in every season, you are still God, I have a reason to sing. I have a reason to worship." In Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 it says for everything there is a season. In every season we have in our lives God is still with us. God has been with me through this season and taught me a lot. He will also be with me as this season changes to the next.
I just want to say thank you for all of your support through prayers and needs that have been met. Please continue to pray that I will follow God in where He wants me.
