Dear Journal,
Tomorrow we leave for Mexico. I'm not ready. I'm so afraid. God help me!
1 God be gracious to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us-
2 That Your way may be known in all the earth,
Your salvation among the nations.
3 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For You will judge the people with uprightness
And guide the nations on the earth.
5 Let the peoples praise You, O God,
Let all the peoples praise You.
6 The earth has yielded its produce;
God, our God blesses us.
7 God blesses us,
That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.
2 That Your way may be known in all the earth,
Your salvation among the nations.

And guide the nations on the earth.

7 God blesses us,
That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.
Psalm 67 - my favourite.
Amen and Amen

Dear Journal,
"God be gracious to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us-"
Psalm 67:1

Psalm 67:1
First day of travel is over. It's two minutes to 10 pm. We're spending the night in Waco, Texas, as opposed to Harlingen tomorrow night (we were going to keep going all night).
I am beginning to slip into the weary traveler's attitude in which the weary traveler becomes utterly revolted and irritated to no end by their fellow travelers - specifically those of younger generations. Please do not misinterpret this entry - I am not in an ill humour, only venting the irritation that builds up inside of me and I do not wish to reveal to others, but, sadly, I often forget this resolve.

For a summary of this day:
Long, rather monotonous and frankly rather boring, saving the books on tape.

God give us grace.

Dear Journal,
Today I spent the morning sleeping, after waking up feeling like I could kill someone out of irritation. Afterwards, I was much better, and eventually got to call a friend that is dog-sitting for me, which helped to pass the time.
Now we're at the church, and tomorrow we will enter Mexico.
How can I capture the sights and emotions that I feel and see right now and force them onto paper? If I described the sight, I would not give the right impression, I would not be able to coat the objects of the room in the soft bluish light that glows through the blinds and gives off the sense of quiet stillness and waiting. If I described the emotion, which would I describe; the emotions I feel, or the emotions that travel through the door that goes to the room of yellow light and sound, coming from those within, and sharply contrasting my quiet room of waiting and solitude?
To describe my own, how could I? I feel that I would give you the wrong impression still - one of loneliness and depression. I am not depressed, but for a while I felt lonely. Thank God for answered prayer and grace. I am so afraid.

Well, last night was pretty miserable until about 2:30 in the morning when I finally fell asleep in El Huevo. But, thank God, when I slept, I slept well.
I'm sorry that my past few entries have been rather negative. Please understand that I'm not like that most of the time. Lack of exercise has brought mood swings again, and I've been doing an extremely poor job of controlling them. Right now I'm happy! Not much has happened so far. It's only 8:44.
We go into Mexico in a little while. If I don't write on the trip to La Posa, I promise (as far as I am able) to write before I go to bed.

We have a great group, as far as I can see. I do hope that we'll be able to do the Drama in La Posa.
Sorry, I was not able to fulfill my promise.

Up until now she had been confused, well, not really confused, but out of place. But now it was all right. She stepped through the door and knew she belonged.
The night was wild, beautifully wild. The warm wind blew constantly, bending the pointed grasses and whipping her hair behind her like a dark standard. She walked barefoot down the sidewalk. The night had a calming effect on her and her tears began to subside. She looked up at the humming orange street light and felt drowsy, the sound of the rushing wind and night insects lulling her to longed for sleep. Content, she climbed into what was to be her bed for the night, and after a few hours of tossing and turning, she drifted off to quiet, restful sleep.

Dear Journal
I have had the most awesome day (praise God!) today. I've got a friend, a job, everything happy!
I helped Mom in the Medical Clinic.

I have had the most awesome day (praise God!) today. I've got a friend, a job, everything happy!
I helped Mom in the Medical Clinic.
People that are vital to the Clinic:
Mom-R.N.
Miss Kay - R.N.
Sarah - Assistant Nurse
Christina - translator

With me helping (but not vital) was my new friend Kirsten - like the American Girl doll (that is so cool, since I have NEVER heard that name anywhere else and I thought it was a cool name when I read the books, well actually I only read the first one)! We sorted out vitamins and helped ppl who needed glasses. It wasn't hot, there was a nice breeze, everyone was in a wonderfully happy mood: all was perfect.
We went to Media Luna and I got to make friends with Judith. It's weird, having a friend with my late grandmother's last name. She's like a really happy Snicket.
God has truly blessed this day **Thank you, people who prayed!!!**
