God would You give Lauren and me the strength to love the Rosales family? Please! Let our frustrations dissipate and our sarcastic remarks cease. Give us Your love to give to them. You have been so good to us to give us a place so close to school and to one of the church families. This is not just a time for us to grow, but a time for us to bless others because you have so richly blessed us. I don’t know how we’ll be able to handle it all, but with You, we can love Lauro, Carmen, Carmen, and Laura. Give us that ability God, so that they could see us, then praise You!! Help us hold each other accountable so that You will be glorified by our thoughts, words, wants, and actions. Whether it’s finding the right spot for internet, cleaning the counters, turning of the lights, talking with our family here, taking showers with inconsistent hot water… God in all these things we can praise You and be thankful! We can be so thankful because we have so much, so many blessings that You have been so quick to give us. All those situations where being whiny and frustrated is so easy… god would You remind us of Your love for us and Your position as our caring Father, our strong Warrior, our greatest Lover. Thank you Jesus for our opportunity in being here!
AMEN! I will pray for you and Lauren with this request. Si, familia de la Rosales deserves your best. Even though there are barriers; culture, language, food, etc., you are all God's children. Love them as God loves us. Hang in there. It is getting better all the time. Before you know it things will get into a routine. You and Lauren will catch on and your frustrations will diminish. Love you, Mom
