Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8)
I am back and exhausted but just had to thank you for your prayers and support. When I read your encouraging words — I was blown away.
More to come. There is much to tell you about the town, clinic, church, volunteers, and the two altruistic doctors who made the journey and helped so many. Bless you, Dr. Pine and Dr. Noé – for you inspire us all to be better human beings and stronger Christians with your generosity and selfless acts. Thank you, Andrew, Dana, and Theresa for never complaining when there wasn’t electricity or hot water and proving that compassion knows no language barrier. Tio Raul and Tia Julie, thank you for organizing the trip and giving so much to those who need it most. Special thanks to Matthew and Tiffany Carmichael for dedicating your life to such a beautiful ministry.

Welcome back to the good ol’ USA! I love your picture. It looks like a lovely place to see. And you all look so happy and filled with loving friendship.
I’m happy that your trip went well and was a success. You all are special bunch of folks to give your love and minister to those in need so far away.
Welcome home, my friend!

I apologize for not coming by sooner but I’m having a really strange week and can’t seem to get myself organized. lol
((Hugs))
Well first of all welcome home! It sounds like you had a fabulous trip, I can’t wait to hear more about it!
As for this “him” of mine… it’s a very long story, and I never mention exactly who “he” is for several reasons. Partly because if he found out I used his name he’d throw a fit and I’ve dealt with his temper more than enough already. And partly because, he’s someone a lot of people adore - not many know what he is truly like and while a part of me would love to let them know what a jerk this man really is part of me just can’t do it, I feel like I’d be stooping to a level that is beneath me in doing that. We no longer speak, it has been almost a year since the last time I spoke to him (if you can call me crying and him yelling “speaking”) so maybe it’s just the memories of what I was going through with him this time a year ago that are getting to me. I know it shouldn’t matter since I have a wonderful boyfriend now who I love and loves me - but this man really did some terrible things in toying with my emotions, hurt me very deeply and broke my heart. I guess sometimes even though you move on the pain doesn’t go away.
Oh yes - I can relate to that so very well. Thank you for sharing it with me Lacy. *hugs*
