God is my strength...

Well, our first mini public health campaign came to an end today. I would have to say that this campaign was one of the hardest things I have done. It is not in my nature to go door to door and talk with people. Maybe I had one too many bad Jehovah´s Witnesses experiences (j/k). It´s just not my personality. This made the beginning of the campaign really difficult for me. I almost dreaded every day having to go door to door. I was wondering how in the world I was going to do this for 9 more months. It was even harder that my Spanish isn´t perfect and that my side-kick didn´t even know the simple things. I was at a loss. I then realized that I couldn´t do this by myself in a thousand years. But let me tell you, God is awesome. I don´t know why I didn´t go to him right away. I have the problem of trying to do everything myself. I am too independent at times. However, I was at my breaking point one day and just laid it all out before Him. I prayed for God to give me the strength and the know how to get His work done. I also told Him that I realize that I can´t do any of this alone. After that, I felt peaceful. I made it a daily habit to lay it all before God every morning, cause I need Him every day. The rest of the campaign went a lot better. Granted, it still had its problems, but I was in a better position to deal with them. I don´t know why the easiest solution is always the hardest to realize. But now I know.
