Rainy Days

I've been avoiding my blog knowing I should update it. Things have been really hard for me here In CR and I just dont want to turn this post into a sob-session or the place where I turn into a mega negative nancy. So i'm going to keep this as positive as humanly possible.. my humanly possible that is.

Caleb and I have had stomach issues on and off for about 2 weeks now.Whether  it be cramping, nausea, diarrhea or vomiting - you name, we've had it. I'm so over being sick. I've had a really hard time with my gluten/dairy intolerances and have had a hard time finding enough alternatives to where i'm still getting the amount of calories I need to be nursing Axel. I'm always hungry it seems. I've lost a generous amount of weight and am not super excited about it.

On the upside- we are finally getting a little more into our "positions" here on base. It has taken longer than we thought due to never feeling well. Caleb has had to help me with Axel quite a bit since i'm lacking in energy.
I am hoping to start sharing more on here about the many ministries we are supporting here and the incredible things they are doing. I will do it bit by bit since there is so much going on.
This week- Homes of Hope - a ministry here on base is celebrating its 50th house. in 4 years they have built 50 homes for impoverished people in the community! it is INCREDIBLE! from now until september we are expected to receive over 50 volunteer teams to help build more homes. AMAZING what God is doing here.
Pablo- who also works in communcations/media - made a video on homes of hope about 2 years ago. He is also working a new one that i will share when he is finished. Until then here is the older one!

****Just realized the new video is up! Here it is :)
Homes of Hope

Check it out! :)
God is moving and I'm thankful to be apart of it. I'm learning to appreciate the many blessings around me and look beyond the current circumstance.

Hope you are all doing well- I will update with photos soon. I haven't felt too adventurous lately so i'm lacking! Sorry.

Blessings-
Briana

  1. Aww, I'll be praying for you! I know firsthand what it's like to be sick with stomach issues in another country :( I cried a lot during that time, too. Praying! God will make a way!
    Phil. 4:6-7 <3
    6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
