Saturday one of the boys from the orphanage came to my house with one of his friends and I told him that I am not allowed to take them to their soccer games anymore. A little while later, Oscar (grandson of Nana Angelina) and Lorenzo (Elsa´s son) came over before their games and I got to chat with them a bit and I took them to the soccer field.

For the most part, I do fine. It´s been over 2 weeks since I have seen Humberto and it´s been 12 days since I have written him a letter. It´s hard, and sometimes I break down and cry because it´s not easy to go through this. Yet, I am following the rules and I am doing my best to understand and move on.

Yet, God knows this, and He knows me, and I was really encouraged by reading verses 23 and 24 out of Psalm 139 on Saturday:

Search me, O God, and know my heart (and hurts);
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.


Lately, I have been reminded of how much God knows about everything that is going on in our lives. He sees our every move, He knows our every thought, and nothing is hidden from Him. At times, it causes anxiousness, but at other times, it really is comforting to know how much He cares and loves us. I am so thankful to have my Jesus be the Lord of my heart and my life.
