He Will Strengthen Me
I am so tired!!!!!!! I have done so much walking this week that I think that my feet are completely worn out. They are no longer there. I can´t feel them anymore!!! All I eat are rice and beans and nothing else! Not really but it sure seems like it. I am in a city called Itapira and it has so many hills. I am constantly walking up, down, up, down, up, and down these hills constantly. With the walking I am constantly studying the language trying to speak with the people. I can normally communicate what I need to say but when it comes to understanding what they are saying.........well, that is another story. I look wierd enough walking around in a white shirt and tie with a name tag. Lets add that fact that when people talk to me I look like a confused and lost dog. Ha, but it is all good. Although this week has been rough and tiring I have learned so much. I have only been here for two weeks but yet it seem like it is so much longer. No, it is not because I am bored or hate it here but because of all the things I have learned. I have grown in the language and I am able to understand more and more each day. I don´t look so strange when I talk. My legs are getting stronger and the hills seem to be getting smaller and easier. I love the food especially te rice and beans. My love for the people here have grown so much. I am able to see the as children of God even more and how special each person is. There is so much more but I know that it is all because of the Lord. I know he has been here with me every step of the way. Even up those annoying hills. I know that all the weaknessess I have right now are only here to help me. I know I will grow in strength from them. Those that don´t kill me can only make me stronger! He is here with me and he will only strengthen me!
