Ok, this is a much needed blog update! Remembering the goodness of God. So last week I started this post and new it needed to be finished up in a second part. So we left the post talking about how Gods people didn’t want partake in repentance, salvation, quietness, trust, or strength. That just sounds crazy doesn't it?!
The Lord finishes that thought with this one:
"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" Isaiah 30:18
He longs to be gracious and he gets up to show US compassion! The question is will I wait for him? Will you wait for him? BECAUSE, "blessed are all who wait for him."
So now as I'm writing this it makes me ask, how do I wait? I though right away of the song that I love:

Goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life. Wait, what was that? Goodness and mercy! right behind me! I really need this to hit my head this week, and for the rest of my life really. I was made for God and by God. YOU! were too. A plan for his children is mercy and goodness. That is not our plan. We did not come up with it. It is his plan for your life. I want you to take a look at Psalm 23. Try to go into it with fresh eyes right now, even if you have read it before. Ok look at the things that are Gods plans here. The things that he is doing. What he does for us. Pick those out on your own.
Ok now go look at what we are to be doing/not doing. Four things:
1. "I shall not be in want"... why is that? because the Lord is my shepherd!
2. "Walk through the valley of death"... why is that? It is a path he can choose to guide me on.
3. "I will fear no evil" ... why is that? because HE is with me!
4. "I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever"... why is that? because of HIS goodness and mercy
some bibles say goodness and love. AMAZING huh?! yeahhh
Wow the goodness of God. And guess what? This is only 2 small little parts of the Bible. Just a completely small piece, that teaches something so big. I pray we each get some God and "insert your name here" time about these verses.
Back at the Ranch... aka quick update about my internship
Design work on the hospital has been coming along! We now have the 2-5 year design plan in CAD in metric. There are some details that will need to be changed now and a lot of things to get started on. Now the structural part of the addition can be worked on! Then we will continue with all the construction drawings for that addition. We are also working on finishing a project from a boys home in Guatemala as well. This was a project from the last intern group that was here in the office. It is a big one so the work continues! So we stay busy around here! We just had a team come back from their project trip, and had one team head out! So you can be praying for the other EMIers that are out traveling around this world! So there is a quick update from here. Another one will be coming soon! It is time for me to get home to my tica familia for dinner! I hope you all have had a WONDERFUL Monday!!!! I pray we keep the goodness of God on the front of our minds!
Here are a few pictures for you all. ENJOY.
