“I want to be Your hands, I want to be Your feet. I’ll go where You send me, go where you send me. . . “
Hola mi hermanos and hermanas en Cristo,
As you have read, we’ve had an interesting time so far in Costa Rica! The days have gotten better, filled with hard work, fellowship, and making new friends. As I prepared for this trip, I was unsure what God had planned for me here in Costa Rica. I expected to help with sewing and some easy construction work. God has given me an opportunity to touch the lives of these people. I have been using my hands a lot, not from construction work, but on the broken bodies of those in Ortega. I have spent the past two days giving massages and stretching. Understanding and translation was difficult at times, but God spoke greater words through human touch. As I was massaging and stretching, I prayed to the Lord to use my hands to give the person what they needed. Whether it was someone to give them a loving touch or even just a simple smile and a hug, God worked.
I do not know what the Lord has planned for the rest of our time here in Ortega, but I know He is up to something BIG! I am His hands and His feet, and I will go where He sends me!
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
