Good night

I feel so worn out tonight. The girls are watching a movie at the moment, so I snuck out to update my journal.




This morning Mary and I went to play soccer. We shot goals for a while and passed it back and forth, but couldn't really figure out how to play one on one, so we just kept passing. It was really fun though. I feel like I walked back and forth from the home to my home today as well. Which isn't a far walk, just up and down hill... both ways. My shins hurt. Then a group came today that have been working in Monjas all week, so Elizabeth and I practiced our flips on the trampoline. I've almost got my back flip and an ariel cartwheel!!



Something strange happened yesterday. It just really made me realize how much control God really has.... TOTAL control. I was in the office all morning by myself. A social worker from Jutiapa called and asked if we could take two girls who were there at the court. I'm not authorized to make that decision, so I asked her to leave a number and I would get right back to her. I called Carroll, who called Joanne, who decided with Carroll that we would take them. The lady had given me two phone numbers, and neither were working. I was trying like a mad man to get back in touch with that lady. Trying to find the right number. If I couldn't get in touch with them, they would send the girls to another home. I finally after an hour got through and they had already placed them somewhere else. I felt so sad. But I knew that I wasn't in control of the situation. I didn't find out until Saturday morning that another new girl had come later on that afternoon. If those other girls had come, this little girl, Glendy (11 years old) couldn't have come. So, that tells me that it was all in His plan. What does that tell you?



I have to say that the other new girl, Ceilin, who came last week is here with me and asking me question after question after question. She is so cute. I will have to take a picture of her next week to put on here. (Daddy, you will love her to death!!)
