Before I begin I need to tell you that we have a new blog site we will be switching over to.  Anissa Burson was so kind to help us get a site that will work better for us.  We have hopes of using many videos and other features to help keep you all connected and feel as if you are here with us.  For now we will keep them both updated while we give our followers time to switch.  So come on over and visit us at www.schmits.blogspot.com   Don't forget to sign up to follow us with email updates if you'd like.

So here we are...been here in Honduras for a little over a month now!  I’m sorry that I haven’t blogged much for so long.  The past nine months have been the most hectic time of chaos I’ve ever experienced.  It is true that it has been crazy busy but that is not really my reason for failing to blog.  The truth is during this time there were just no words and if there were words they would have been very contradicting...one hour I felt one way and the next I felt totally different.  And just to warn you...I’m still there.  But I need to blog anyway so you will find in my blogs to come that one post may be about the excitement and thrill of being in a new country and the next may be about our struggles.  The point of this blog is to be real with you.  We are normal people with normal struggles.  We have the normal paradox of feelings that come with following the Lord into the unknown. But it is in our normality that we can see God's glory.  

I want to thank you for any part you may have had in getting us here.  It is because of your prayers, your gifts, your words of encouragement, your friendships and so much more that we are here.  We thank God for the way He provided just what we needed and still continues to do so. We are trusting in His continued provision.  We are also trusting that He will give us wisdom and discernment on the details surrounding being His hands and His feet in this country with such need.  The needs can be overwhelming.  At times it can seem so big that I just want to go back home to my land of familiar.  Oh the days I long for familiar...but that is not where He has called us to be.  We ask that you join us in asking God to help us find familiar here in Honduras and for wisdom and discernment.   Thanks so much!
