This is so beautifully written and I can und...Sara,<br />This is so beautifully written and I can understand why you would be upset that people, me included, didn't read or respond to that blog as you thought we would. But you are also correct in that sometimes I can't process anymore of the stories in the news. I try to be aware of what is happening in the world. I have been trying to keep up with what is going on in Guatemala but most stories are in Spanish so I am limited. I have to be very careful getting too emotionally involved in world wide crisises. I get overwhelmed and it takes me to a place I don't like to be. I have had to learn to only focus on what I can handle and feel like I can have an impact. I know this is making excuses but this is how I keep myself from sinking into depression. I even have to step back and ask God what specifically He wants me to do concerning Casa B and the kids. Being aware of all their needs and not being able to do anything about most of them is hard to deal with. God has taught me that I am only responsible for the parts He sends me to do. A perfect example was out trip this Summer. Last Fall God made it very clear to me that we were not to take donations down and pay for the extra luggage. God wanted us to take money down and do some project that He had for us. He then revealed to me that the project was for Fran and I to make curtains for Casa Albanza and Casa Ester. Have you seen them? We were only able to do that because I did what God instructed me to do. I have been able to be at peace about all the needs of a place the size of Casa B knowing that I have done what God wants of me.<br />Also, I am so glad that you have found peace with who and how you are. You are one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. I want to be you when I grow up.<br />Love you,<br />DebbiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791903621717147803noreply@blogger.com
