This week has been very different than most; I have been in bed unable to walk. Last week I was playing soccer and I was running I went to kick the ball, I don’t exactly know what happened but I remember feeling something move out of place and back again. This something happened in my knee. I was not happy, honestly I was mad at God for letting it happen. In the moment I was unsure of how serious this injury was, it looks as though surgery is on it's way. This time in bed has given me time for lots of sleeping, thinking, praying and pondering.

I don’t know how much I have written about the dream that God has given me, but He spoke to me very clearly last year in October that He wanted me to do something for the children in my neighborhood, Borbollón. At the time I was unsure of exactly what it would look like, but I knew that it was to be a safe place where children could learn, live, and laugh. This place would not be an orphanage (for now), but more of a place where kids could come during the day while their parents are out working. Through many months of prayer and seeking, God has shown me much more clearly what He wants for these kids in Borbollón. While attending the school of Principles for Children and Youth Ministries, God gave me and continues to give me many visions and ideas of what this is going to look like. I am to build a daycare and provide a safe place where kids can come and spend their days learning, living, and laughing. I hope that each child in Borbollón and the surrounding area will have the opportunity to hear about Jesus’ love and the free gift of salvation. In this home, I will provide activities such as: Bible stories and other educational stories, music, physical/recreational activities, basic knowledge of health and hygiene, and breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack.

I don’t know where or how it will all come to be, but nothing is too big for my God, and where there’s a vision, there’s sure to be provision.

We just heard a message from Paul Hawkins about God's provision, and he taught to never even say, "If I could afford it ..." but rather to ask, "If it is God's will." Because, if it is God's will, than He CAN afford it.
