faithful.

last summer i told the children at nueva esperanza orphanage that i would be back in two day to see them. my team and i never made it. i was absolutely devastated. i had made a promise to these children that i would return to them. within a matter of seconds my plans changed right before my eyes and there was nothing i could do.

about two months ago i came across Deuteronomy 7:9 it reads,

“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.”

my God is the faithful God. not only is he allowing me to return to honduras, he is allowing me to work with the same children at nueva esperanza. my heart is full. i feel so undeserving of this opportunity and so humbled that my Father would choose to send me. i am literally aching to be back and love on God’s beautiful creations.

i will leave you with some pictures i took last summer while at nueva. i should warn you, these children have a way with capturing hearts…so be prepared to fall in love.
