Life keeps on going

It's Thursday. My 'day off' that I have chosen. It's in parenthesis because I really have no day off. I work 7 days a week. Sometimes it seems like work and sometimes it doesn't seem like I do anything but live in Mexico. I love it. Today I'm gonna go to a coffee house and read/write a little. This afternoon some of us are going to Chili's!!! Now to most Americans that may not be a huge deal...but that is really special for us here. We have to drive about 45 minutes to get there. I'm excited.
I am so incredibly blessed in my life. I really do love it. I've been falling more and more in love with God. I've been getting closer and closer to people. I think I've been slightly more closed off to others than I should be, but I'm working on it. I am healthier than most people in the world. I always have food and water when I NEED it. I'm incredibly blessed.
I miss my family. Not one of those, "AHHHH, I'm crying all night and drawing black circles on the wall" type of thing, but I miss them. As I get old I actually, inside, become more and more attached to my sisters and brother. I do love them and wish I could see them more. I try to call...but my internet access has been less than stellar lately. I hope they know how much I love them. (tearing up now) I also really love and appreciate the parents I've been given. They visited last week and it was fantastic. They are incredible.
Finally, I can't believe Christ would really die for me. I accept it and it still blows my mind. All the stuff leading up to that event. All the things that have happened since. How can I do anything less than give all I am? How can I put my selfishness in front of His purpose anymore? I pray that I continue to be refined into the man of God that I need to be in order to change the world for Him. Thanks God.
