A TIME OF TRANSITION.

Well, it feels like it’s been a VERY long time since we have been in contact with people outside Honduras. We moved into our new house on

August 24th and haven’t had internet, nor cable, nor the house phone since. The Lord knows that being with internet is a test for me, but praise the Lord He has kept my attitude right before Him during this time. Our move went smoothly, we only lost mirror in the process. We have pretty much unpacked all that we can at this point, and Abner has become quite the handy-man around the house. He’s been drilling to hang the curtains up, the closet, and getting pictures on the wall. He was even outside with a machete cutting the little grass that we have. I love my husband! It’s a great joy living this life’s adventure with him.

Susana has done great with the move as well. When we were taking all the things out of the house, her and I had to go to the neighbors, because she became very anxious and clingy, but once she saw all her things coming off the truck again, she was happy. I think that she misses the dogs next door that we had at the old house, but they have been replaced by the “silly cows” that come and visit almost daily. These cows are one of the reasons we are praying fervently for a fence/wall to be built around our house ASAP. She will miss seeing the up close and personally, but I won’t. J

As for me, this move I know was from the Lord. He has provided us with our first house/home and we feel blessed. The first couple days I have to admit, I did shed some tears, but the Lord has been faithful. Our biggest transition being here has been the transportation issue. Taxis don’t pass as often, and there are only two buses that run this sector, so we grab which ever passes first. Abner and I started reading the “Purposes Driven Life” together and in the 5th lesson it talks about how sometimes the Lord “delays” the answer to prayer as a way of testing us as His children. We know that God has a vehicle for us, and in His timing we will see it. We walk by faith and not by sight.
