Honestly, I had no idea it had been over a month since I had written. I'm back in the classroom and really appreciating the time I have left with my students. Only 3 more weeks of school for this semester! I can't believe it. Life seems to be falling into a routine...which is good, but the downside, is that after awhile, it just becomes mundane...yes even in Buenos Aires, life can become mundane. The mundane-ness gives way to thoughts of "What's the point then of this life again? Why are we here? If I am living just for me, then there is no point."
Today I was given a boost of energy and endurance. I realized again that when I'm living my life for others, there is a point...we are the hands and feet of Jesus, and how much more fulfilling life is when we give away what we have been given. Tonight I visited a home for children who have been abandoned by their parents. I saw Love. I saw Jesus. I felt Love. I did not want to go home. One ten year old in particular captured my heart and gave me the biggest hugs and would not let go. I could see there is much behind those eyes that he has experienced that I could never in my wildest dreams begin to imagine experiencing. I am looking forward to going back in the very near future.
