Happy International Women’s Day! In Honduras, people actually recognize las mujeres! We received some snacks provided by the school and I received some extra hugs. Last year, in my cross cultural studies class we passed a candle and remembered women in our lives that really played a part in forming our character. It’s crazy to think that a year ago I was at Westmont about to graduate. Life has a way of developing into something entirely different than what you had envisioned. The beauty of life is living outside of oneself and out of the box. There are trials that come with choosing to live outside the norm.
I haven’t had much to write about in the last few weeks. Things in Honduras have a semi-rhythmic pattern when working Mon-Fri (7am-3pm) as a Kinder teacher but in each day there’s loads of variety. I have not yet found my rhythm; one day I feel like I have the hang of it, then the next day I feel like God throws a wrench in my life that makes me seriously question what I’m doing here. The topic of what I’ll be doing next year has consumed my mind. I know that I’d be able to do this again next year. My main struggle with this decision is the possibility of being deeply unhappy for another year. No doubt, this is the hardest thing I’ve ever confronted in my life.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4
