praising God for his faithfulness

Right now I am in the states on a time of sabbatical from Mexico and volunteering at a free medical clinic. I had some issues with loneliness on the field and while I initially didn't respond correctly, the Lord has allowed me to work through things-and among many different lessons has taught me a lot about not being afraid to communicate what I need with others. God has been dealing with issues of my heart and teaching me so many things through a Bible study on brokenness and surrender. In the midst of everything that I have gone through, God has given me a deeper compassion for people, and a heart that is more humbled. I am looking forward to returning to Mexico but in the Lord's timing. Thank you so much for your prayers. More to come in a few days. :)
