I'd be lying

I'd be lying if I said I had a good handle on things some days.  Praise God...there is just too much going on, and even for me, trying to keep up is hard.  Does it feel good to admit that? Yes and no.  But it is the truth. 

Cute kids in the clinic getting glasses, and holding stuffed animals.  Cute x 5  

Jose Luis continues to share in the clinic, and host several home Bible studies.  I am up on the numbers being seen in the clinic, but only God knows how He weaves everything together there.  I do know that Tuesday just in optometry they saw 45 patients.  (while two people were out with the group in a medical brigade, helping almost that many people with reading glasses and other help as well.)  

Personal hygiene lessons, and help trimming fingernails, not something we normally cover in reports on the Milk Project, but that is another area where it is hard to cover everything that happens on a daily basis.  

Emergency repairs done on the rusting supports for the TV station and pastor house in Talanga.  Shout out to Jeffry and Eduardo for helping pastor Manuel on all this, and for today prepping to buy more material to fix the upstairs walls and change the roof, to help in the future, and also since there is a neighbor next door who is building his house right next to our building.  

We are closer to actually seeing if there is water, and where, in Las Botijas.  This is the equipment finally delivered, now to see the company put everything together, and see how it works.  And praying it works extraordinarily well.

Recognize this?  When we did the construction in Tegucigalpa, we had the old gates from the man cave garage.  This is one of those repurposed, for the garage in the church building in Danli.  That patina is a no-cost option

Combo trip was cooked up for delivering food to the Milk Project in Cantarranas, a meeting for Maria, and Jeffry and Jose Luis to mend the breaking door lock for the church and the Milk Project, while Jorge also helped taking food as well to Talanga nearby.  Pretty cool when scheduling happens and works out so well.

Gray Ford and White Ford have been in the shop...for "a while."  I am not lying when I say I have been actively trying to not count how long, so as not to get depressed.  Got both back yesterday after "extensive" repairs (can you feel the monetary pain associated with those air quotes?)   But today with the first test drive to get the above materials for Talanga...an oil leak.  Hopefully just something that needs tightening.  

Making decisions on when to give up on a vehicle is hard.  Sometimes, it seems hard to make decisions, or the right decisions, on number of things!  Other times, it is also just hard to have time to make all the decisions one way or another.  

And, most of the time, praise God, there are many other empowered people making all sorts of decisions, doing all sorts of good, helping people, acting and living out the Good News in many different ways.  

I can't keep up.  That's no lie. 
But God does.  And that is one of the amazing things about Him.
