Yesterday was a very difficult day for me. I woke up feeling sick . . . went to class and the teacher seemed to have a cold; so we both did not feel good. The kids decided they did not want to listen very well and I could not wait till the day was over. After school let out...I went to go and look for my friend Daniela. I wanted her to come with me to the market, but could not find her, so I left. Once I got back from the market I looked around for Daniela again. I could not find her and I wondered where she could be . . . On my way back to the dorm my friend Ana came and told me something about Daniela and why she was not there. What she told me made me want to cry . . . my heart broke.
Satuday, Daniela was playing soccer at the school and while she was playings she collided with another girl. . . . Daniela ended up falling and hitting her head on the ground pretty hard. Ana told me she could not see and they took her to the hospital in Tegus. Ana did say she began to see a little on Monday, but they were gonna do a scan of Daniela's head to see what was going on.
Daniela is one of my best friends and I miss seeing her around school. She was always there for me and she would bring me candy and tell me she loved me. So when I heard she was hurt, I felt as if someone punched me in the stomach . . . I wanted to go see her. . . . talk to her. . . . find out how she was. . . but there was nothing I could do but pray.
After I heard about Daniela my friends came and we hung out for a while. . . . Some eneded up coming to my room and we took pics and just hung out. Even though I was not in the mood after all that had happend that day. . . I was glad I had some friends to cheer me up.
One of my friends, Samantha turned 17 yesterday so I was glad we were able to have some fun because I know she missed Daniela and wished she had been there for her birthday.
The one thing that I loved about yesterday was hearing my friends tell me they loved me. . . Giving me hugs and taking pics with me. I love my friends here and I know they are a blessing from God!
I know that God has everything under control here in Honduras. I know He is watching over Daniela and He is watching over my friends and me too. Today God gave me the strength to get out of bed because my emotions were messing with me a little. . . . With the combination of yesterday, missing my family, reading a book that reminded me of my ex, and being tired . . . I felt I just wanted to stay in bed and not move. . . . . I knew I would not have gotten up if it was not for the Lord moving my limbs.
I am glad He did though because I met a sweet girl today who helped me treach my classes because her sister, the other teacher, was sick . . . . We ended up talking for about 2 hours after class and she was so sweet and kind. She is an amazing person and I am so blessed that I got to meet her. So God did it again . . . . He blessed me with another friend and a great day! The only way I can have a good day is if I trust God and let Him take control! I plan on having a great day, everyday, from now on! lol
P.S. I also was blessed with 3 hugs by Karen . . . . The lady taking over as my mom while I am here. . . lol
