SujapitaThis trip will be one I look back on in years to come and say, "that's where it all started". It took a few days to figure it out, but Home of Refuge litterally became a place of refuge; to search for what God had brought me here to find.
The first thing being "my shadow". She picked me from day one and would follow me around forever if only i could sew her on to my shoes. Sujapita- a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. So tender and light hearted. I'm not sure if there's a future in our relationship, but i truly believe we found eachother for a reason.
The second thing hasn't been completely found yet. I believe that my time at HOR has been 100% necessary for beginning a new journey with God. I came to Honduras to be with orphans, and hopefully bless Tony and Rosa, however, I now know I came to be with God. I came so I can survive. I'm learning all over again- everthing it feels like. But I am called "chosen" and I'm starting with that.
Sujipita is your Honduran doppelganger. Maybe not the replica in exact looks (although that is quite an Elise smile on her face!), but she recognized herself in you somehow. I bet God has a similiar call on her life.
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as what God is doing in you? You are not rootless. These times "in between" have not been a time of futility, but rather God doing something below the surface. You are no orphan, my sweet niece, but you are "the planted of the Lord."
