Are you the GOD, It’s me Candy~

Its been over a year since I spent time in the Amazon.

~Missionaries~

Did I really sign up for this?

What has it brought me and what have I brought back to others?

A void in my life?

• Where is my relationship with other people ?
• Where is my relationship with you, GOD? 
• I wonder what I have brought back to others or to myself?
• What is my willingness to get out of my comfort zone?
• Always lost in thoughts of those who touched my life.
• And those who didn’t.
• Wondering why I was sent there.
• Wondering what I can do to change lives now.
• Can I really do something that would make a difference?

Its only me~

 

child in Peru

The holes in the ground were everywhere!

She was so close to danger but so intrigued. 
Aren’t we all?

I was very sick in Peru….

So sick that sometimes I doubted I could make another day. 

 

Peru Hospital

It’s not something you want to write home and make your family worry after they told me I was insane to go.
So we took a picture of the better hospital.

Doctors in Peru were on Strike!
No warnings for the insane Americans!

What were the Peruvians doing for care?
What can I do to change this? 

Darrell was with me and I knew I was in good hands with my personal Paramedic.
Medication we brought from the states.
IV’s and small needles!

Darrell would walk the streets to different street pharmacies and explain my conditions. Praying that it would make me better!

The peruvian medicine I was given, I never knew what it was, was very painful.
The liquid would start flowing and I would just squeeze my eyes and know that GOD was not far away.

I didn’t get to go out to some of the areas to dig the wells
..left behind to heal. 

But GOD gave me something so unexpected.

Not the friends who went with.

Not the loving husband by my side.

But two little angels who were with me ALWAYS!
ALWAYS!

 

~Little Angels~

I slept in a tent inside a building because of the mosquito born illness Dengue Fever.
It was so hot!
I shared it with another ministry friend…
I think she thought I was going to contaminate her

My little angels checked on me often, brought me water and beautiful flowers for the exchange of my time to be with them.

We played a lot of games without communicating  the normal way.

They brought me so much joy!
I brought them  chocolate and candy…

 

 

 

 

Peru Angels~

 

 

GOD did have his little Angels with me holding my hand and loving unconditionally!

My Void was filled as  your children would reach out to me reminding me that you never leave us.

Some days seem so dark but there is always that little speck of light.

I know so many people around me who feel like they are surrounded in darkness.
I know and hope you know I am always there to listen.

its only me~

I hope that I can take the ray of light from two little girls and share the hidden light to others.
 

Thank You “GOD” for reminding the beautiful times I spent with your children and that I did bring something back….

Kisses to Salmalee and Saraee.

Leaving my mark

 

PS it wasn’t me who marked the wall but I can claim it!
