Trusting God. That is what we are suppose to do in all things. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is not. Right now we are facing trials personally and at Casa de Esperanza.
Thursday, Nathan called to let us know that he and Julia are expecting another baby. Oh how excited and delighted we were. Last night Julia called and all things may not be ok with this pregnancy. How hard it is to not be able to get to my kids. I have to trust God on this one.
Brayan, one of the boys here at Casa de Esperanza, had blood in his stool last night. He has already seen the doctor on the property this morning. We will be taking him into town to the lab tomorrow. May be appendicitis, may be something else. We have to trust God and place Brayan in His hands.
In July 2005, we broke ground on Casa de Esperanza. We took our first kids in June 2006, a miraculous feat in itself in Honduras. Our first 5 kids are brothers. Oh! How we love everyone of them. Their dad was in prison for murdering someone and at least one of these precious little guys witnessed this. In addition to having murdered someone, he is an alcoholic and abusive and has anger issues. The dad is now out of prison. At this moment, we do not know if we will get to keep these 5 little guys. They may be placed back in the home. All of us are tense and anxious. All of us are saying many prayers and shedding many tears. We need strength, courage, and wisdom. We have to trust God that He will do the very best things for Yovani, Marvin, Maurio, Francisco, and Antonio.
Nothing can prepare us for these kinds of events. We will trust in God and God will give us peace.
This week we solicit your prayers for the above mentioned precious souls.

Dear Terri,
I feel so many things but at the top of the list, I feel praise and thanks to God that HE is giving you that peace and trust you need in all the sad situations at hand. If we only knew what God Himself was bringing together, we’d all fall to our faces with praise. Right now, it looks like Satan is only trying to discourage you and put stumbling blocks in front of you.
As I read your blog this morning I couldn't believe my eyes as to what I was reading and what is happening there with the boys. So much to deal with yet you are giving it to the One who cares the most.
I have the spiritual feeling of being right next door to you through faith, through prayer, and the love of Scripture. I wish I was able to be near enough to give you a hug and tell you personally how much God loves all of you there.
THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES OVER FOR ANSWERING THIS CASA MINISTRY AND FOR BEING PART OF A WORK THERE THAT HAS LITERALLY BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITE MINISTRIES. MAY HIS LAVISH LOVE CONTINUE TO COMFORT AND UPLIFT EVERYONE THERE.
You are certainly in our prayers as the children are in our prayers. Please update and let us know how all goes with these many problems you are concerned with.
With a whole new appreciation,
Ginger
