Surrendering and leaving EVRYTHING behind.

I say I have surrendered to His calling...

 
But is what I have been doing truly surrendering it all?


Until today I have been counting the days until I get to come home..


Home to MY FAMILY.
Home to MY BED.
Home to MY CAR.
Home to MY LIFE.


BUT then I think of twenty five orphans right up the road that have NOTHING.


NO Family.
NO Home.
NO nice clothes.
NO LIFE beyond the walls of the orphanage.


Pedro. He is 4 and his mother is 14.

I have lived the American life.
I have lived wanting MORE.
I have lived not satisfied.


They live the Peruvian life.
They have nothing and want nothing more.
They live satisfied.



David and I   

 I stand in AWE of their simple lifestyle.


They stand in AWE that I would give up "everything".


BUT they have EVERYTHING I want.


                     
                 Two new Peruvian ways of life:

Grammar class with three different languages.
Spanish, German(i think), and ENGLISH!

Tony the Tiger!!!
