The Most Beautiful View
I know this blog is late, but hey, better late than never!
Honduras
A month where I lived on a mountain.
A month where I camped.
A month of HARD manual labor.
A month where I didn’t connect to wifi.
What a month it was.
Leaving Honduras crying because God is so good and this place is a gift.
Before coming to Honduras, I was scared. I was worried about being uncomfy. I was worried about camping. I was worried about manual labor. I was worried about not talking to my loved ones at home…
But here I am, at the end of the month, crying as we leave the mountain because the people I met here represent the love of Christ so beautifully and loved me so dearly.
So what did this month look like?
Each day looked a bit different but I’ll give you a quick summary. We carried wood from the mountain to help build a church and community center. We helped build tables, pews and chairs for the church. We got to go into communities and evangelize. We got to help farm. We got to help cook. We got to a lot of hard work and got to see beautiful results from it. The people we met… I have never felt loved so deeply by people other than my loved ones. Especially to the ladies of the kitchen <3
Don’t get me wrong, this month was HARD. I was so out of my comfort zone, like never before. I missed being clean. I missed not always having mud everywhere. I missed sleeping in a bed. I missed talking to my loved ones back home. I especially missed talking to my family and Mitch. There were days, it felt like it would never end.
But God comforted me.
God worked big. God walked me through some forgiveness. God started to teach me how to dwell in Him. He revealed to me my true and ultimate desire of desiring Him. God protected my back from any pain (BIG WIN). God started to reveal more passions I have within me. He gave me a big purpose in translating all month.
God took me to the mountains this month to be with Him, and it was such a sweet time. I fell in love with the people of Honduras. I fell in love with the scenery. I fell in love with the Lord. I fell in love with this journey.
I fell in love with the most beautiful view….
Love,
Gabs
