Let me tell you about my Monday's. Back in Aug/Sept/Oct time (or before my Nov. accident) Karina, Sarai, Hector, and I would walk around the neighborhood inviting people to church. Since December is holiday month, we put a pause on the walking and took a break. We haven't started that back up again. Mostly, we haven't started that back up because I've found a different activity on Monday nights that I seem to enjoy and benefit more from. There is a lady at the church who invites me to make home visits to other women of the church on Monday nights. We usually go visit around 5 p.m. and come back to her home at 6 p.m. to have dinner together and sometimes watch a movie. I've really enjoyed the visits to other people's homes. They aren't necessarily the "shut-ins" of the church, but rather, any and every sister in Christ we have - we want to encourage and visit with them. I look forward to these Monday nights because it's a time when I really feel purposeful in being here. Yes, there are times when I'm not really sure where my place is, but Monday nights are not the case here. It has been a blessing to get to know more people of the church here in Piedras. I look forward to the day when I can frequently go and visit others to encourage them or whatnot. It is a prayer that comes up regularly in my quiet time with God.
I hope all of you are staying warm! We've still got cold weather upon us, but I'm praying that in a few weeks, Spring season will come!!
Be Strong in the Lord
