Adela & Estela

I will miss Estela and Andreas.

Adela is so sweet. She worked so hard to make today special. She honored Dottie and myself with a huge meal, decorations and flowers. The children honored us in church Sunday for our anniversary with notes written by everyone. Even the toddlers gave a note to us with their handprints. It was such a special moment.

Estela Saquach came to Casa when she was very young. She eventually grew up and lived in our house caring for Michelle and being a blessing to Dottie. She married Andreas and they have served as dorm parents. She met Andreas in college, and he has a business providing textbooks and school supplies in El Milagro. He also is a wonderful preacher, and I have no doubt, but that God will use them mightily. I love them so much and it is a large hole in my heart now that they left. But I know that they will continue to serve God and love others. She did graduate from college.

All increase or decrease in your life comes by your tongue.  Proverbs 18:21 says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Your tongue is either building life, or it is tearing, destroying and kill you.

Every good word is a blessing to you and others, and every negative word of doubt, unbelief and condemnation is destruction. Learn to speak words that build your family. Lift them up.

The next name of Jesus is found in Hebrews 2:10. CAPTAIN OF SALVATION “For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the CAPTAIN OF SALVATION perfect through sufferings.”

The Greek word behind in this verse is rendered “author”. Other words could be” prince” and “leader.” Jesus was made perfect in suffering. A genuine leader does not ask his followers to do something He does not do. A leader also guides, inspires, encourages and motivates the people in his charge.
