More about trip

So its been just a little bit since I have blogged again maybe one of these days I will get my act together and get this to be a daily blog.

One thing that was so great for me on this Honduras trip was that I got to spend time with my sis Carolina's family. It was so exciting to get to spend a few nights at their home. My Honduras mama fixes some of the best coffee. I'm not sure how she fixes it but it is so delicious! Everyday they would fix us breakfast and dinner and it is always delicious. I was so blessed to get to spend so much time with them. They all feel like family to me well they are family to me and so getting to spend that special time at their house was great. Getting to see my neices Alejandra, Yasseli, Andrea and my nephew Edwin everyday was a treasured moment I won't soon forget. Hanging with my sister Carolina and hanging with my brother Ariel was awesome.

It was awesome getting to do that and getting to spend time with my other Hondurian family the Alvarez family. Getting to see Ever, Yojana, Ivan, Olga, Sessia and Diane everyday was a great thing. Every night I think we sat in front of my laptop and looked at photos we had taken of the day and of videos from the day.

There are so many memories that I will never forget and that I think of daily and I can't wait to share more with you!

these are my thoughts....my inner thoughts roll on...

What a trip....

What a trip! Yea I'm talking about Honduras....by far this was the best year yet of all the years I have been going to Honduras.... my heart is so full of so many things. I saw so many great things!

I sat on the veranda of the Hotel Shalom and I looked at all the things we had to give to the children for Christmas and my heart became so full to know that these children were going to get such a wonderful Christmas gift. It also made my heart break to know that I wanted to give those children so much more.

There were so many wonderful things that happened. I will try to take the next few blogs and share what God did for me there. One thing I will always cherish is the quality time I got to spend with my girls, my sisters and my neices (they are Hondurian but they are family). I will so cherish the time I got to spend with Yasseli, Andrea, Sessia, and Diane, Alejandra, Carolina, Yojana, Olga; and the with boys like Ever, Ivan, Edwin, and others. I hope to share lots of photos of them on here soon! Soon I will share lots with you my heart is so full. The photo is of Yojana, Me, and Olga.

What seems impossible....

I'm sitting in my sister's house this evening -- just hanging out with her and my nephew and niece and it's so exciting to be so close to her that I get to just come and hang out. My sister is after all my best friend so time with her and any time with my family is a great treasured thing.

I was sitting thinking about things just letting my mind wander a little and started thinking about the verse of scripture in Luke 18:27 -- it says " What is impossible with man is possible with God." I guess I thought about that cause I look at my sis and her hubby and their 2 kids and I think you know children is something I have always wanted and I've been married for 7 years now and so far that hasn't happened....but I know that it can and praying it will happen.
Then I got to thinking about an airplane ride that I have now taken 3 times....to know me is to know I have always always said that I would never fly -- and yet for 3 years in a row I have flown to Honduras to be apart of a missions team giving out toys to children in San Marcos de Colon Honduras! I have so many friends in Honduras now -- all these things seem so impossible to me -- but with God they are all possible.

I don't know why I decided to blog about it today other than to just tell someone -- if you are going through something and you don't think there is anyway that you can get out -- just remember -- what is impossible with man is possible with God! You just have to trust in Him, trust Him to do the work, and then know that it will happen.

the inner thoughts roll on...and hopefully it won't be so long until the next blog!

The countdown is on....

While others at this time of the year begin their countdown to Thanksgiving - countdown to Christmas - countdown to the New Year - at this point - I'm doing lots of count downs.

Count down to Thanksgiving -- 10 days
Count down to HONDURAS trip -- 12 days
Count down to Christmas play - 32/33 - were having it 2 nights
Count down to Christmas - 38 days
Count down to New Year - 44 days
Count down to My Neice's Birth -- about 94 days!!!!

Lots of excitement happening in my life

Can't wait until Thanksgiving to spend time with family; can't wait to get to San Marcos de Colon Honduras and spend time with dear friends. I'm all about Christmas so even last week I was playing Christmas music. Of course the New Year brings times of reflection and time to make myself change some things -- and then the thing I can't wait for is the birht of my neice in Feb. -- even her 4 year old brother is getting excited now!!! While I don't have children of my own yet - I love my nephew more than words and I know that's how I already feel about my neice - so I guess until God allows me to have children - I'll have to live my dreams through him and soon her.

Just a day of countdown thinking for me.
What are some things that you are counting down?
