I'm Getting Ready!

I have approximately 7 weeks left and I have so much to do. I am still learning as much erSpanish as possible and just trying to stay prayful and seeking God at every turn. I am still a little scared but God has been speaking to me. That still small voice continues to remind me that He is in control and He is a faithful God. I spent this last weekend God has just been speaking to me about His grace being sufficient. I believe He is going to show me things in this year that I never could have imagined. The scripture that immediately comes to mind is 1 Corinthians 2:9- That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him. I'm so excited to see what God is going to do through Sonshine Hacienda and through me in this next year. 


Sonshine Hacienda is a children's home in San Felipe, Mexico. The home can house up to 48 children. The staff is passionate about God and children and I am so honored to be able to work along side them. Right now Sonshine Hacienda has almost everything it needs to start taking children. They are preparing for the process of licensing, and once that step is completed children will start coming in. (YAY!)  If you go to this link (Sonshine Pictures) you will be able to see some pictures on Sonshine's facebook page. The home is beautiful.  I know that children who are broken and lost are going to meet Jesus at Sonshine Hacienda and  have their lives transformed. Most of the time I cannot believe that God chose me to be a part of this. I don't feel ready but God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called. I know that this summer God is stripping away things that I don't need and filling me with things that I do need. I feel like the adventure starts here. So here I go... 


Thank You so much for all of your support. The prayers, words of encouragement, and your willingness to give to the Kingdom of God has built my faith through this journey. I really appreciate you being the Church. I love that I am able to see the body of Christ at work.  I pray that God will give back to you pressed down shaken together and running over for your obedience. To make giving a little easier, I have attached a link to Urban Church where you can give online. If you click this link, GivingDonation, and then click on the designation MEXICO MISSIONS, then your tax deductible donation will get to me. Please keep me in your prayers. Thank You again.


In Christ Love, 
Erin
