February 2013
I have completely lost track of time so I have no idea of the exact date. We have spent this past week at Escuela El Sembrador in Honduras. We came with a team from our church and spent our time here working on building a new dormitory for the boys school. We are now in Tegucigalpa. We've made the long drive back to the capital city and are preparing to fly home tomorrow. I have so much to write about. Escuela El Sembrador was amazing. We will definitely be back.
Late last night (while still in El Sembrador), we were awakened by the sound of beautiful Spanish music. A group of about ten boys from the school were singing a beautiful serenade in the open courtyard of our building. We all came out of our rooms and stood on the verandas and balconies to listen. It was a dark clear night and the beautiful Spanish music resonated in the night air. They sang at least five songs. One of the boys played the harmonica and another played the guitar. It was absolutely beautiful. I took out my phone to record part of it.

It was our last night at Escuela El Sembrador. Earlier in the day (during our team's morning devotions) my husband and I shared our story (HIS story) with the group. It was a very meaningful and special start to our last day in in this beautiful place. And then on the last night, just when we thought our time here couldn't have ended any better, we are awakened to the sound of beautiful Spanish music and voices singing praises to the King of kings.
I didn't know any of the songs they sang... until the last song. As they sang, I realized I recognized the melody. But while I recognized the melody, I couldn't remember any of the words. I was humming the melody as we went back to bed. Later, in the middle of the night, the words suddenly came to me.
The words of the song comes from Philippians 1:6.

He who began a good work in youHe who began a good work in youWill be faithful to complete itWill be faithful to complete itHe who began a good workWill be faithful to complete it in you.
Listen to the YouTube video of the boys singing it here.
Another promise from God. He who began a good work in you WILL be faithful to complete it.
Thank you, Jesus! Thank you for the promise. Thank you for the prodding by our Pastor to take this trip. Thank you for the opportunity and for providing the financial means for us to go. Thank you for the impact it has had in our lives. Thank you for the people we met and worked along side of. Thank you for the safety you gave. Thank you for allowing us to do what we thought was lost. Thank you for allowing us to: Go—Serve. Thank you, Lord.
