I know I know...it has been long since I dont blog a thing, but actually so many things do happen in my life that I should be blogging, but, ok, I feel like it right now..so here it goes...
Last week it was my little sisters graduation (Marcela)some of you know her, but for those of you who dont, she is the greatest little girl, and sometimes I have this pressure of setting the right example for her, wish so bad everything just works out for her the way it should. I miss her a lot and thats for sure because somehow we are so close but so far away from each other, sometimes I have a hard time understanding how things work out. but, inspite of all that it I was so happy to see her get her diploma, and just moving to that new step and that is high school,
I do ask God to bless my little sister, and I know that just like in my life, HE has great blessings for Marcela along her way.
(Katrina...you being there with me meant a lot..thanku:)))

Tonight I was packing froot loops with Melissa and Jen Arnold, for the activities tomorrow at the sunday Bible school for the kids in Mololoa. they will make necklaces out of froot loops, so as always Melissa and Jen inspite of the hour were laughing, smiling, and even we tuned into a romantic movie while doing the packing of the bags.
Melissa was telling me...you never thought a year ago that you would be packing froot loops bags with us, and I thought NO I had no idea.
and after they all went to sleep I stood here and just thought how different it all was a year ago. A year ago...
It didnt even crossed my mind that a community like Mololoa actually existed and that I would LOVE so many kids there a year after.
A year ago...
It didnt even crossed my mind that God had a plan for me to meet so many wonderful people that at the end became more like my blessings.
Really didnt even crossed my mind that I would be having dinner with the Kluges and Jen Arnold in Paris(or everysunday lunch at Rubys!) :) :) that I would be in their house tonight thinking I do love this family, Katrina and Allora...Randy and Melissa...And the Honduran miss Jen Arnold:))
It didnt cross my mind that I woould meet Jen Wright and Karen Vaughan.
and...honestly when I think of these two girls words are kind of not enough to describe how much I value their friendship and the fact that they have made me see how it is to really serve God. and also how it really is to show love to others.
A year ago It didnt even crossed my mind that an email or card from Kay, MaryAnn, Kelsey, Tony, Donna, Esperanza, Brandy, Zach,just to mention some just how much happiness you bring to my heart. a year ago I didnt know so many people that I would be building great friendships with... But a year ago I didnt even know that there was a Belpre team coming every year to my country doing great things here, I didnt know that there were so many people passionate to come work for my country, so many people full of love, so many people my age so into coming with teams to build houses for the people that need it, i didnt know that a year later I was going to be part of that too...
A year ago...I didnt know that I was going to become so close to my boss, YEP Maria del Carmen I didnt know that she wasnt going to be just the person that was going to teach me a lot about Law, but also the person that would support me when I most need it.
A year ago...I didnt know that there was a Franklin and his beautiful sisters, I didnt know that there was Oneida and her beautiful kids, I didnt know that there was Walter and his beautiful sisters and brothers, I didnt know that there was a Bryan and Aldo a Daisy and her kids, a Martha and her nieces, and ...just so many kids that would bless my life.
A year ago...I turned my back on the miracles of life, on the simple things that make you happy, even in believing that God was there with me holding my hand, and telling me right there in my face...that HE had great plans for me.
and today...HE Is letting me know that Im just starting my path. that there will be so many more things in my life I would be thankful for, and just so many blessings and simple things I cant take for granted.

Amazing what God does in HIS time hu? I am learning this concept slowly...that His plans for me seem to increase everyday! Life is amazing, especially when you give everything up to Him! You quickly dont need the "stuff", the guys, the cars, or anything else! Its funny how we temporarily fill our lives with these other things just to be let down by the lies, but then when one realizes the greatness of God all that seems to disappear with little to no significance!! I Love Him! Love you Fabs! I miss you like crazy and hope we get to have another road trip soon!
I never knew a year ago that i would be living in this country and inherit another sister. I love you and so appreciate your heart. It has been so good to see the change God is going in your life!
you're so awesome, i can still picture your smile and giggle and you in the same green uniform!, keep up the fantastic work, and keep learning about God, yourself, keep facing the challenges, and God bless!
much love, your friend, Mr. Dean Reusser
Yeah, a year ago, I was preparing to move down to Honduras. I never knew God had such a wonderful Honduran sister waiting for me to meet. I have enjoyed every minute...especially Paris. :)
