Well a lot has happened since I posted this morning. I just had to tell you the rest of the story. ;o) Salvador was in no mood to listen to anyone today. He was mad that his children hit him. Can you imagine? Of course he said he would never forgive them and Angelica said, "But I am supposed to forgive you?" To which he had no response. He just doesn't see that hitting his wife is wrong, but oh, hitting a parent, now that is wrong. It was so frustrating! He started drinking again about 9:30am and continued all day.
When I posted this morning I forgot to say that one thing that encouraged Greg and I was that when we arrived at their home at 2 this morning, Moises and his mom and his wife were already there. They have been a blessing!
Anyway, Angelica, Lupita (her daughter) and Olivia ( one of her daughters -in-law) all came to church tonight. It was really good for them all. Of course we were hoping her sons would be there but they all were embarrassed by their father's actions and didn't want to come. So after our study a group of us went to their home to encourage them. It was awesome! All I could think was this is what it is all about! There were 13 of us in a tiny room and they were all talking in their languagae and using Bible stories as examples of how Satan will try to tear us down or how God can encourage us or how we are given second chances. We heard them use the story of Jonah, the parable of the seed sower, The Prodigal Son, The story of the demon possessed man, and many more. It was really awesome!!
I was so encouraged! I saw the body of Christ taking care of part of the body that was suffering. They were all doing this without any help from Greg and I. So although I hate that there was hurt, it gave us an opportunity to see that they are going to be just fine without us. I just know it! We prayed for Salvador as we knew he was a lost sheep and sometime while we were praying he climbed into bed and went to sleep. We are now praying that he wakes up with a repentant heart. Please pray with us. God sure can do a lot in just one day, huh? Love to you all! Missy
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
