I just happened to open my Bible today and open to Isaiah 58. It is ironic as I chose this day to fast with my friend. We had committed to fasting once a week before I returned to Costa Rica. Today it made it even more clear why I am fasting... a more tangible purpose. Three of our students told us today they are considering not completing the school. One of the students has a family crisis going on the other 2 are doubting their purpose in being here. Either way, I have felt this since the week the school started that it is a spiritual battle for the lives of these students, our school, what God will teach us all in this time and the forgotten lives we will be able to touch more wholistically as a result of this school.
I was praying for all 3 of them today and felt strong words and what exactly to pray for each of them. It is very interesting... feeling God opening up my thoughts and mind and spirit again to hearing His voice and practicing my prophetic ear. It is interesting as well as I feel that since my spirit has been reawakening to these things from God, I have felt so stretched. I feel a great loss in being here, very insecure and unsure of myself of even doubting being valued, needed and loved. I know it is spiritual. I am not a person to doubt these things, typically.
Pray for us all and God's clear and divine wisdom and guidance in this school as well as each one of our students and us as staff and leaders.

I realize I didn't give an update on our students. Two of the three have decided to stay, that this is exactly where they need to be despite circumstances at home and how they felt initially. The other student has decided to stay here for a month and take language classes and then return to her base in Mexico. We will miss her.
