To be honest, I was afraid to admit my dreams. I was afraid to share the depth of my passions. I was afraid to desire something that I might not be able to achieve. So I downplayed my desires and tried to make light of the things that the Lord so heavily laid on my heart. What I'm learning however, is that the perfect and everlasting love of God can cast out all of my fears.
Throughout my time here the Lord has made my love and passion for children more and more undeniably clear. My best moments here have all been with children or youth. I know, and can confidently share, that work with children will fill my life. The best moments of my trip thus far have all involved children. Reading with, talking to, painting nails for, hugging, playing with, and just plain ole' loving on children makes me feel inexplicably full. I know that my role in the body of Christ involves serving his children.
There is still a lot to figure out and work through, but I no longer worry because I know that my loving Papa will withhold no good thing from me. So here are some photos dedicated to the children of Honduras that have so filled my heart. Enjoy!
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love." -1 John 4:18
