God is Faithful!

Sorry that it has been months since my last post. These last few months have been what I would call a very long trial but in and through it all God has been faithful and most importantly he has drawn me closer to him and even though these past few months have been some of the hardest months I have had in a long time I learned so much and now I am seeing the fruit of it and how God used this trial for his glory. At the end of August after being sick for a few weeks and even after taking medicine and not getting better. Dr. Inri came and examined me and diagnosed me with severe pneumonia and took me to the hospital to be admitted because I was have seriously problems breathing. I have to admit that I was quite scared when he said that he was going to admit me to the hospital because I've never been admitted to a hospital in my life and now the first time, is going to be in El Salvador and my mom wasn't here with me, talk about a little nerve racking, but after my initial reaction and a lot of prayer, God started to give me this peace.I was in the hospital for three days and after that they gave me the ok to go back to my house in San Salvador. I am so thankful for Dr. Inri who took care of me at the hospital, he came to the hospital every night after working all day three hours away to make sure I was improving. That is for sure an example of being a servant of Christ! After close to two months of basically being confined to the house so I could recover because my lungs were so weak, I am finally better and last Friday I was finally able to go back up to the Center!! I can not even fully describe to you how wonderful it felt to be back at the Center and to see the kids again. The moment that I got to the Center I was engulfed in hugs from the children and they all very concerned asked why I hadn’t been coming to the the Center and then all of them wanted me to help them with their homework. It has brought tears to my eyes just to be back loving on these kids and sharing truth with them. The funny thing is that even though I haven’t been at the Center for almost two months, I was able to jump right back in and it was like I had never left. It has been such a heartwarming experience to leave the Center each day because every child wants to make sure they give me a huge hug. I have to admit to you all that first day I don’t think I could have smiled any bigger all day because I was not only so incredibly thankful to God to just be back up at the Center but also so very thankful that God has given me the opportunity to help these children and to be able to speak truth into their lives each and every single day. God is so good!! That is a quick update for now but I hope to be blogging more frequently! I will be heading back to the States in November to do some support raising, spend time with family and friends and get my wisdom teeth out, I hope to see many of you soon!
