I am not feeling so great right now. It's been a tough couple weeks but God never fails to remind me that he is still a good and merciful God and will never change. I'm just really exhausted this week and it's not so much from ministry and what not but more from thinking and worrying about things that I really have no control over. At some point, and I'm not sure where but I became the type of person that feels like they have to and deserve to know the next step before they have even stepped off the other one. Honestly this summer is looking like a big question mark and even after the summer is still unclear. I really am uncomfortable with that feeling. It sucks not to know where your at or where your going especially when you're a person who usually enjoys being in control (which I do;). I have seen in myself over the last few weeks that not having control over the big things in my life causes me to seek to have control in every other situation around me during the day. I want to change this about myself and learn to trust God in not only some but all of the situations that arise in my life. I only have a few weeks left here in Nicaragua which makes me so sad but I am determined to use that time fully and not stress about every tomorrow before it gets here. Right now I'm sitting on our porch watching some of the guys here work on the roof of the prayer house. It's awesome how it is coming together. I cant wait to hear how God uses the prayer house to reach people in the upcoming years. This whole place has changed radically since we first came here in September. El Puente does not even look like the same place at all. The work in the room that is going to be the library was finished the other day so hopefully kids will soon be able to come there to read and learn. I feel like there is so much that is happening in the next few weeks. The race is coming up this month to raise funds for Vida Joven. Bible Studies are going strong in the neighborhood, and other ministries are happening. It's going to be hard to leave some things that don't feel finished but I have to remind myselfย  that He who started a good work in us will carry it out to completion even if that means other people get to finish it.
