We have been investing more time as a family to work in Mexico on a more regular basis. We now go x1 a month with New Life and some good friends Stefanie and David. WE are looking to assist them in funding their ministry more by providing them with supplies to make SOCK MONKIES. We calculated that we can invest 3 dollars for every 12 dollars they will make.
We were working for GAP MINISTRIES for 3 months again serving as houseparents. But we quickly realized we were not fit for the task. It initially seemed blessed and we were going in the right direction but then we seemed way off course. We were missing ministries that we were very involved in and the kids just didnt respond to us. We ask to leave our position. It was humbling to learn you are not GIFTED in everything but only that which God has gifted you in and given you strength for.
Now we are focusing on the kids more. They suffered greatly during our time and we praying for their healing.
Christopher has struggled in a few areas. He was having a hard time relating to friend and even being mean. When we were in Mexico a man prophesied over him and stated that he will be a missionary to Latin America. We felt the HOLY SPIRIT and both were in tears. Christopher asked for prayer because he feels like he is changing in a way he doesnt want to...I know God has a mark on his life and satan is threatened by what this little guy with BIG faith will be doing.
We learned from GAP that we have to take parenting seriously. We see the effects of kids without good parents.
SO our ministry right now is our kids.
Christopher and I have been doing some great devotions as a family. Lexi is learning to pray.
Christopher was struggling like I said in his heart and at school. Our devotions over the past few days have been great. They have been perfectly written to meet his need or concern for that day.
He says to me, that was really TODAYS devotion? I reply...why are you surprised...God loves you and he is looking out for you. Even in your sturggles know that GOd will be there to help you. He cares.
Christopher is amazed. I hope he continues to feel close to God and blesed/loved.
I want my kids to have a personal relationship with God
Until later, a tiredbutblessed mom
