Day 4

today is 10/21...our 4th day. it is also the day that i visited the prayer tower. when i walked in the door there was music playing. it was something extremely familiar, it was in spanish so it took me a minute to totally figure it out. it was a song by MercyMe called "I Can Only Imagine." i say that is "my" song but its just because everytime i hear it my spirit stirs. (idk if theyre the right words) then i walked upstairs to pray...what a strong beginning to the day!

Shmeil did his devo @ breakfast & it was sort of an extension to mine...surrender. it was great! we left for the worksite @ about 815am. Lisa & i worked w. the framing of the windows. we had to cut & bend more rebar because we ran out. we got 4 more done and we have 4 left until they extend the doorway frames. we wrapped up, cleaned up, & started playing futbol (soccer) w. the boys. Lisa sat & played w. the girls & smaller boys. it was soooo awesome, it kinda reminded me about the orphanage in Tijuana. sure, i will play w. the kids but its sooo hard to leave. i get so attached & i cant stand that!!

i love kids i really do...but the discipline that needs to be done is something i cant do. i know that because of how i was raised when i was little. thats my major worry, thats why i say im never having kids...im just concerned about how i'll react to certain situations.

anywayz, the ride home was good & we got ready to go out. thats when we discovered our toilet was clogged. we went out to eat & the mall to come back and find it still clogged.

*side-note* this morning John said that today is usually the day where he sees teams getting homesick & such. well, i think thats what my problem was on Day 3. i wasnt thinking about it until he said something then i started thinking about somebody i like & how i should have brought my phone so we could text. oh well, i will see him when i get home ;)*end side-note*

dinner was good, we went to the mall & it was great. just like any other mall but in spanish! we ate @ Pollo Campero (camp chicken) here it means like country chicken or hillbilly chicken...oh man it was good!! @ the mall there was a wal-mart type store. i got batteries for my speakers, V8 Splash & 2 Sobe Adrenaline drinks. my Sobe's are for tomorrow in case i lose energy ;)

one more thing before i go to bed...the devos so far have been about surrender & submission. so....that means something to me. i feel like God is showing me something or just trying to tell me to shut up & give up(me that is). He wants ALL of me, not just some of me or the part i wanna give up. surrender...totally!

-->God show me & help me do what you want<-- until l8r...peace! ~Kali
