Our hope is to be used by the Lord to bring healing to those hurting from drug addiction, those living in the trash dumps and all that the Lord brings across our path.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00737004644851988877noreply@blogger.comBlogger93125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199137681444407433.post-42465952421535669142018-10-19T07:31:00.001-07:002018-10-19T07:31:26.277-07:00Cornerstone Did You Know<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were so overbooked that day and so out of gas we were thinking to just go to our dump here in Camalu, while our amazing chiropractors served our local people. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However God had other plans! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I just hear the song Mary did you know and I wonder how many people came on this mission trip not having any idea how they would be used by God! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Although they we call him Camalu we are not really sure of any details of his life. He did not talk much and always came for a plate of food when called then went back to his work at the dump. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As he was on his knees repenting and receiving the mercy of God. Paulino said this man is leaving the dump his life is changed. The group prayed for him to receive Jesus and layed hands on him. God was ministering to him through the love of Cornerstone Lodi! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The next morning Camalu went to Heaven. Paulino says oh now it all makes sense! God sent us there that day so He could do a miracle in this young mans life! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We praise God for allowing us to be His hands and feet and for those who support us in prayer and finances so we can continue to see others come to the feet of Jesus!</div>

I am not sure why I am writing this blog or if I will even post it but it is more of a praise than a post! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
God had placed a peace in my heart but I was afraid to say it because of something someone once told me! You are always saying God told you this or that! Well I only say that when I know in my heart it was God! And yes I know it was God, and then Gianna said Mommy no water is going to come in our house! My mother in law said it is not going to rain here. Well then I started hearing the details of the flood of 2010! Yep the kids almost drowned the water up to my mom in laws neck! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Facebook was full of details. On our wedding day Paulino had to borrow a 4x4 to even get into his moms road to pick her and our wedding food up! It flooded two years in a row when we moved here and God kept the water out of our house. So I started listening to the louder voices more than the still small voice. </div>

I used to be a person who did not fear anything actually I would do some crazy things knowing God was with me!<br />
Then I got married and had kids and fear swept in!!! Like a flood! I have not been to the states with Gianna in a few years because someone on the bus threatened me. And so many other things that happen while we were there.<br />
I have heard the song Fear doesnt live no more! Well why did it ever live in my heart and more in my mind!<br />
My God has been amazing in filling my heart with joy through the hard times. So many people in the faith I look up to asked if we were ready!! We have been living in a season I call our daily bread and like the manna there is nothing to bring into tomorrow. Which God has used to say DO NOT FEAR!<br />
All three of us had peace! Paulino was like we just need to continue with daily life. Although he did cut hair under our roof instead of outside in the open lol<br />
<br />
I think about those that did receive the water and flood that Hurricane Rosa brought and I am sorry for them. However this lesson for me is not about a hurricane it is about Peace Like A River<br />
<br />
The words are so true and as I see Pastor Wade singing it and me running into Gods arms! I am reminded of the day I met him and he told me your good deeds are no better than anyones, and those that have sinned against you are no worse than your sins! TRUTH!!!<br />
<br />
I can not thank God for keeping us safe but most of all for speaking to our hearts!!!! Gianna has an amazing spiritual connections and is truly her name meaning the Grace of GOD!<br />

I write this to my nieces and I write this to my neighbor who now finds herself filing a police report most of all I write this to Gianna!<br />
<br />
Women need more sleep because their brains work more says a recent study I read! Well I can tell you why our brains work more! It is because we manage the family and life all at the same time! If you are like me you give in to emotions way too much!! Emotions are not facts or truth, emotions are hormones and desires all bottled up in me! False expectations that I have put on myself and others and the disappointment of not meeting them. I am more like a beautiful valcano, a mountain with lots of green growth on it. On the island of Hawaii they recently had one that gave in to the heat that is in side of it. Something it has had for hundreds of years came out and burned up the town and left black ash everywhere, this hot lava flowing everywhere destroying things that can never be replaced on this beautiful island. Years to come it will be beautiful green mountain again and life will go on! BUT the damage is already done!<br />
For those of us who have not had a healthy relationship with their father sometimes we do not understand that our PAPA God loves us because HE made us!<br />
<br />
Here are the things I wish I would have known when I was young.<br />

We are blessed to be the hands and feet of Jesus!<br />
Recently we took our youth to play soccer in another town and you could imagine my surprise when an evangelistic group from San Diego and TJ showed up with bags for everyone. Bags I helped make for teen boys when I was there visiting a few months ago!!!<br />
I could not imagine how God blesses others if we are willing to serve!<br />
If you are in So Cal and are able to pick up some blessings to bring down or take on a missions trip to others they love to bless the indigenous of the states and around the world!<br />
Or if you live near Orange County California give her a call and go and serve with her making these blessings!!<br />

Don Felipe with his daughter in law, you have seen him in many pictures before. He has known Paulino for his whole life and gives testimony to those who do not know him, of what God has done in his life. The trailer was full of clothes when we started and when we got back we had less than one hefty black bag!</div>

Six years ago when Paulino and I married we had already decided to take our first fruits and start taking food to the trash dump. In that time there were 14 men living at the dump her in Camalu. So we were able to go to the local renta shacks and serve food to the addicts there also. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the first people we met there was Jose Antonio Sotelo, he asked us to find his family in Santa Barbara and even with Noras help we could not find them. He went to many rehabs and then went to live back in Guerrero where he is from and serve the Lord there. He sent me this photo one day of his cousin and asked if we could find him!

Sunday Paulino took Carmelo to visit Jesus aka Chuy at the rehab center. We are still praying we can get Armando into a no cost voluntary center. However it may come to having him picked up and taken to a locked down center. We know just as Jesus spoke to Lydia and Victor when they were living in the dump south of here, he can speak to them!<br />
Tuesday we took another man from the dump and told him we would give him a ride to Camalu and then from there he would walk to rehab. God changed Paulinos heart and we took him into the waiting arms of a rehab center that serves Jesus!<br />
Paulino has known this man for years and Monday night late we were asked to take the Helping Hands group to the dump on Tuesday evening. When we were getting ready to leave a man showed up Paulino recognized him and gave him the opportunity to leave today!! He got in the back of the trailer and off we went.<br />
Please pray for these men and women that they will hear and see God and all the love Jesus has for them! Resurrection day is coming soon and this is why we do what we do!!!! Because Jesus loves you!

Some have asked how to give financially. Right now you can give through this link on our blog which goes to our paypal. Or send via Western Union to Paulino Martinez Roque, he can go pick it up. Deposits into our Mexican bank account via xoom.com seems not to work. </div>

Please pray for Armando out of the 14 men who lived at the dump when we started loving on them 6 years ago he and Jose are the only ones still there. Pedro died there! Armando did come out for a while and Paulino taught him how to lay brick so he could get a good paying job and he stayed clean for a while! But without Jesus it is useless! </div>

Jose also came with Armando to get his hair cut, he is very shy and so we did not take pictures of him, you will see we have very few photos of him. I praise God I was able to serve them a plate of hot beans and rice with fresh warm tortillas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rigo also came in the morning for blankets, he is NO LONGER LIVING IN THE DUMP! Without drugs you realize how cold it is here in the nights! He was happy to have some hot food and we can send him home with rice and beans to cook at his own place. </div>

We could not do this without your prayers and financial support! Crossing the border for me is almost impossible. We were low on beans and had no rice and no money! We were almost completly out of clothes! For us now that Gianna is in Kindergarden, and for our neighbors school uniforms and supplies use up a lot of cash. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So receiving two 100 bags of rice from Least of These, and clothes donations even from local people has opened the doors to people we have never blessed! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please pray for that wall the north wall of our new addition to our ministry property, and pray for a shower and dressing room as we plan to build our clothing room in the front of our house! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please pray for our family Paulino, Christina, Jose and Gianna! And my inlaws! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Praise God with us for each person who gives and prays for Cruz Alegre Camalu! So many are going through HUGE things right NOW! </div>

Is the only way to free someone from drugs a personal relationship with Jesus?<br />
Yes! Freedom only comes from walking in Truth!<br />
Is the only way to end poverty is having a personal relationship with Jesus?<br />
Yes! Poverty is more spiritual than physical!<br />
Is it worth it to feed 30 plates of food for just one soul!<br />
Yes!<br />
Is it worth it to give 100 large bags of food!<br />
Yes!<br />
Although it may seem like we are putting a band aid on a very bad wound, I believe we are actually using the key we have to unlock doors to very hard to open closets!<br />
<br />
Thursday was a very interesting day for us. Starting with a visit from some ministry friends who want to find a permanent solution to helping get the men off drugs and out of the dumps! Then Paulino took a Canadian group to both dumps while I took his sister and a car load of family to the cemetery to place the crosses on this last day of their 10 days of rosarys.<br />
The group then came back to our place and played soccer and hung with our youth. Later they gave away 100 bags of food! 2 of which Paulino took personally to senior citizens who could not walk over to our house and one we took across town today to a family with a 33 year old disabled son whose mom just had her foot cut off! You never know who Facebook will connect you with!<br />
We had given away 96 bags and were just getting ready to pray in the house when someone came over. It was an addict whose son we are thinking is also becoming an addict. Well the father never comes over or talks to us about anything! HOWEVER he really needed food and so he came to ask for a bag of food! Paulino was able to share the love of Jesus with him before blessing him with the bag of food.<br />
<br />
Those plates of cooked food that we have been giving out at the dumps for the past 6 years if we added it all up compared to those we know are serving and loving Jesus! Would it balance out? Well only God knows and our reward is in Heaven but when I show you the photo of Paulino praying with two people both former addicts Paulino has known for years and I met at the trash dump!<br />
Yep it is all worth it and shows me that in this desert ministry that may seem dry just like the cactus fruit it is sticky but sweet inside!<br />

Had no idea she had left this dump gone to one further south and was now loving Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, until one day she came to my house to give testimony that our prayers had been answered! </div>

When we were in shock she said, why are you surprised at what God can do?</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: small;">They say a picture is worth a thousand words! However I have decided not to write a blog today but to steal a post from a youth that accompanied a group to the dump.

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: small;">Hi.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: small;">
</span>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-size: small;">I just wanted to share something very interesting and sad at the same time.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">
</span><div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">I hope I do not offend anyone.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">This morning I woke up covered with a blanket, a pillow, and a comfy bed!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">I got up, I bathed and had breakfast.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Everything as simple as always,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Only in a "camp"</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Where we construct "homes" for those who need it!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Anyway.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">The point is that after you have finished with EVERYTHING! With everything that is home,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">We accompany some people that every month end, take food to the people who work in the garbage dumps.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">And I want to ask you a question ...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Have you noticed how lucky you are?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Have you noticed that you can wake up in a bed, a roof over your head, clothes, shoes, drinking water and food at your table every day?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Have you noticed that?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">And yes, you better not have the most expensive clothes, a house of thousands of pesos, some original tennis, the iphone 7.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">But ... I'm sure many would kill to have what you own!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Do you know what these people do in the garbage dumps?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Every morning they wake up or go to work, with a strong smell of burnt things (bottles, cartons, wood, and all kinds of garbage), withstand strong heat, and most do not have easy access to drinking water or food.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">These people have a difficult life, while you are reading this, in the comfort of your bed or armchair they will have finished a long day of work withstand strong heat, suffering from severe cuts through all glass bottles and possibly sleeping with the stomach empty. (I.e.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">I do not want to lengthen this much more.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">I just want you to keep in mind and reflect on everything you have and to have that great blessing of having more than what you need. (I.e.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Goodnight!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">I'll leave you some photos.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Stolen from Yony Rodriguez facebook page. Youth so see things we do not! </span></div>

Crying as I write this amazing story! I tried to look at my facebook and find a before picture from 5 years ago and from 3 years ago! But God in His infinite wisdom did not allow it and does not look at our past but holds our today in His hand! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This amazing woman of God is saved and healed and telling everyone she meets about it! Her whole person radiates Jesus inside and out! She loves Him and well as you know He is crazy about her! I was able to spend the afternoon with her the other day and as she says, why are you surpirsed, did you expect anything less from your prayers! Do you think God did not hear you! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although she and Paulino have been friends for years when I met her in the trash dump over 5 years ago I connected with her instantly. She later told me how she had come back from Chicago after her divorce and fell into the life that lead her to be called Flaka which meant skinny. Over 3 years ago when we first moved the trailer near my mother in laws she heard we were leaving and came crying no Jesus needs you in Camalu! She was so elated when I told her we were actually moving here! However I only seen her a few times after that! Later on I was told she was serving God and converted into one of us! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I praise God there is a church two hours south of here that goes into the trash dump and loves on the people and invites them to come as they are into their church! One day we will go there and say thank you! But their reward is in Heaven as it is for all of those of you who have prayed for her and so many others at the dumps!

I know them, and they follow me. I give them real and eternal life. They are protected from the Destroyer for good. No one can steal them from out of my hand. The Father who put them under my care is so much greater than the Destroyer and Thief. No one could ever get them away from him. I and the Father are one heart and mind.”</span></div>

Yesterday I was talking to Marcos one of our junior high students and it just reminded me that this world is a hard place to live! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A friend gave reminded me of the verse the other day that the poor you will have with you always. Well I am poor so I guess I will always be here lol. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do not care about peoples financial status I care about the poverty of heart. The other day we had a class at our house and the instructor asked me why we do it and then another person asked me how we do it. Both of my responses were Jesus! </div>

Thank you to all of those who give so that we can see lives changed daily! I know God will bless you because His word says it! Paulino and I laughed the other day when I told him the question HOW it truly is amazing all that we do. Yes we may seem to choose to be poor but it is not our choice but our desire to serve Jesus where ever He sends us. </div>

It has been a week and I have not seen a news story or a post about his death! Yes it happened right where the highway in Camalu is so bad! If you are heading south on the right there is a big tree and sometimes people live under there. The day after the rain there were police and yellow tape and many people watching wondering who was it!<br />
Rumors of who it was or why he died have been said.Some say he was sleeping, others say he had epilepsy! Who was he really! Someone son! Someone who came to Baja for a better life, leaving his state far behind!<br />
If you have parked anywhere on the highway in Camalu or driven down the highway he was hard to miss. Always had a rag in his hand cleaning cars, the whole car not just windows. He did not talk, he was never dressed nice, and he was always there! NOW HE IS NOT THERE, so I am pretty sure it is true it was him that tall skinny man whose name I do not know.<br />
There are so many others like him or just kids trying to make a few dollars! Will it hurt us to give 5 or 10 pesos. If you do not want them touching your car just say Animo! and hand them the money.<br />
trust me it would take at least 200 people a day giving 5 pesos to each person before they could get rich from washing your windows. The children in Camalu still remember when we brought them burritos on December 1, 2011! How sad is that! They were so thankful to have something to eat! If you do not want to give money keep some extra water bottles in your car or some snack bars or a piece of fruit!<br />
How do I know they will not use it for drugs, most will actually. But what about the one that may change!!! Like my husband, that man could have been him 10 years ago! Before he accepted the love of Jesus, he was that man! He always tells me when we see people like that, I was one step from being that mental! BUT he is not that man today and why is that!<br />
Because people loved him, encouraged him and gave him work, even if it was burying a dead dog, or living in a shack at the Pemex in San Quintin! I always love to see people's faces when they see Paulino for the first time since he was on the streets! Usually it is a double take, then a stop and think, then oh my Chapo is that you! Yesterday a woman told him I am so glad God gave you a second chance! I have heard stories not just from Pemex workers but from the addicts themselves as my husband loves them faithfully everyday. Because of my sons illness my husband can not work, but he is always willing to find the time to give a hand up and not a hand out! He cooks and takes food to the men who live in the trash dump and around our area. He teaches them to lay blocks and make real money so they can leave the lifestyle behind. This week he has been taking clothes to those in Camalu that have been flooded and yesterday he took clothes to those in Zapata, today he will take rice and beans and what ever else he can to Zapata where no one is going!<br />
Do I say this to brag! NO!!! Because usually I do not even brag on my husband since we got married on Nov. 13,2011 it is just what he does, It is who he is!!!!<br />
All of this to say if you on the road or at a gas station and someone wants to wash your windows let them, or just keep some change in your dash and say ANIMO! Remember 20 pesos currently is only $1US! Could it change a life! It did my husbands and now he is changing lives!<br />

It would be too long to write in one blog but I will try to post the basics and later let him write his own book.<br />
<div>
Jose was born to Sonia and Paulino on April 12,1999 two months early, while Sonia was out working in the fields picking strawberries. After about a month she and Paulino were both using drugs and Paulino thought Jose would be better cared for by his mom Maria. Sonia went to her little adobe rental room and passed Jose through the window. Unknown to Paulino, Sonia had already abandoned her three children. About a year later Sonia had moved to a different town and become pregnant this time she decided to move back to her home state far away.<br />
Paulino would go and visit Jose and bring diapers and such as he was working in the fields also. He would also come to the outreaches near his mom's so he could see Jose there they would hear about Jesus and he could spend time with Jose. After a while the drugs started to gain more and more power Paulino turned to living on the streets and washing windows or scavenging at the trash dumps to make money to buy drugs.<br />
Jose never went to kindergarten or anything else because his grandma thinks school is a waste of time. Sadly she did not know that around 8 years old Jose would start to fall and not be able to walk. Around this time Paulino was taking to jail for annoying the cops with his presence on the streets. In that very stinky cell he promised God if He got him out he would serve God forever!<br />
Well the week was almost over and Rancho de Cristo said they would receive him!!!! In his time at the rehab center he was able to start the reconciliation process with his mom and his son! Jose had just stopped walking and they took him to the clinic at Cristo Por Su Mundo FFHM, and the doctor examined Jose. On the ride back David asked Paulino, Jose's mother's name, and when he told him, David informed him that he has two half brothers in Mefiboset the special needs school and they all have DMD! Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is usually passed genetically from the mom to her male children. So the boys have an older sister who does not have the symptoms of DMD, however she can be a carrier.<br />
Jose was blessed to be able to join his brothers at Mefiboset! Papa Kate would pick them up each morning in his big bus and give them the love of Jesus all week long. While they also learned practical things they truly learned about Jesus, prayer, and worshiping! They even danced in their chairs! They were all given little red wheelchairs and pushed around wherever they went.<br />
This is where I met them when I came as a visitor for a week in May of 2010. I moved to the orphanage in August of 2010 I was blessed to be able to spend the whole week going out at 6am on the bus to get them and then taking the home in the evenings! Usually you are sent to do different tasks around the orphanage each day but since my heart fell in love with these boys as soon as I met them and no one else asked for Mefiboset, I was able to go. But that is another blog.<br />
After about a year of living at Rancho, Paulino was giving the opportunity to serve in construction at the orphanage, there he also seen the people that would come near his moms and do outreach!<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Paulino would begin to bring Jose to stay with him on the weekends. They would go out and do odd jobs to make money until Paulino was able to buy a truck to take Jose around and get work on the weekends to help to take care of Jose. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By this time Jose was frequently sick, his family did not feed him much so they did not need to carry him to the bathroom. Also he was looked at as the child of the addict, while his cousins were going to school he would just sit home with his grandma as she babysat kids and washed clothes for a living. Patty and Jenny wanted to help Paulino out during the week until he was finished with his construction duties at 5pm. So Jose was able to live with his dad full time at the orphanage. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During this same time all the boys had been sick, Javier 16, Feliciano 14 and Jose 12. However Javier got pneumonia and went into hospice care at Dirk and Marys house. He was loved and cared for until he walked into the arms of Jesus! Feliciano had been home for a while saying he did not feel good but everyone thought he just missed his brother! However 4 days after Feliciano was walking into the arms of Jesus and most said Jose was soon to follow. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On the day of Feliciano's funeral Jose was given his first electric wheelchair! Patty knew all of the boys wanted to drive! Wow this was the saddest day and the happiest day of Jose life! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although he was so terrified of the speed and power he quickly got over it! He became a teenager and a real person. Not dependant on waiting for someone to come and push him where he needed to go. Or understanding him, None of the brothers spoke clearly but Jose still today battles with people understanding him. Especially me!!! When we moved to Camalu we were not sure we liked him having all that independence, we would look for him and he would be out with his friends playing soccer or over at the ranch looking at the animals. Yep he is a teenager.<br />
When my friends started to bless Jose with vitamins he became healthier and now is able to take multiple supplements and knows what each is for and how many to take. Although he has lost all strength in his body he can take his own vitamins and feed himself, it takes him about an hour to eat one plate of food! We praise God that in this cold wet weather Jose is healthy! He has a cough assist and a Bipap and lots of blankets! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jose is very creative and has decided to build a robot to push his wheelchair since it will not run. I am not sure how he is going to do it but Gianna wants to play with her brother and I am sure the two of them together will figure something out.<br />

Poverty is a generational disease passed down to many and it is killing people.<br />
During the last few months I have seen it in our own lives and the lives of so many others who fill the waiting rooms of hospitals and laboratories!<br />
We just received a gift in the bank when Paulino started getting sick! He wanted to roof Jose new bedroom he is building! I wanted to buy a new water pump and bigger water tank maybe some warm clothes for Gianna! However we bought lab tests, two ultrasounds, medicine and gas to get us to all these places.<br />
In December my brother in law sent my mother in law money and that week we found out she needed an echocardiogram!<br />
We then found out she needed a pacemaker that would cost one year salary because the insurance we have does not cover major things! However we later found out we could put her onto my sister in law's insurance that would cover the whole thing minus the gas! Friday we signed her up for insurance and Tuesday she was in an ambulance on the way to Ensenada. Layed in emergency for 4 days waiting for a bed! Then another 4 days waiting to see the cardioligist! Thursday afternoon they put in the pacemaker and Friday afternoon we were home. In Mexico a family member stays with the patient or in the waiting room usually 24-7. So between my sister in law and I we were able to stay with her the entire time. One of us would sleep in the emergency waiting room and the other on the floor near her bed. You are required to take care of the patient except for putting in IVs and such, what the nurses would do in the western world, we did.<br />
We met so many people there in our same situation. I actually have a new friend, Sanjuana, please pray for her and her family! They have been there for about a month with her mom. Instead of her being helped into the gurney she had no strength, so she fell to her knees and had a sore on her back, which they did not realize until they took her home a week after she entered! They brought her back that same day.<br />
Omar a 37 year old had been 2 months in a diabetic coma and was at home doing fine when he had a heart attack! On a Sunday there was no one in the insurance hospital to help him, so his mom drove around until she found a hospital to help! Every credit card was used with every neighbor helping and money came to pay the value of at least 3 years salary, if not paid up front they would not operate. He never got better so his mom brought him back to the insurance hospital where she was told half of his heart is dead and there is no hope! Please pray for the entire family, his mom was an amazing woman so concerned with helping Jose! Omar is home on meds and I know God did not take him out of a coma for nothing!<br />
So all of this to say!!!<br />
What about the others! What about those who do not have amazing supporters to bless them with the cash they need! What about those who do not have someone to put them under their medical care and are stuck with the government insurance. What if Paulino would have had stones and we could not do the ultrasound! What if....<br />
Please pray for those families that we have met but please pray for so many others who are dying because of lack of money. Eternal life is a free gift and will cost them nothing!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08142746026605210869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199137681444407433.post-3048908110760036992017-01-04T20:42:00.001-08:002017-01-04T20:42:40.738-08:00Gas Strikes!My heart is just breaking I am not sure if I can handle any more so forgive me if I am dumping but I need to get it out NOW!<br />
Please forgive me if I offend someone it is not meant to, just to inform you!<br />
Many have commented about the gas price it is not about that it is about the fact that it takes 6 hours of work for one gallon! For the fact that the field workers strike resulted in very little! And that many feel they should be paid a fair wage for back breaking work. I was recently in the states for 6 weeks and during that time of grocery shopping I did not see that many things were priced differently than groceries here in Mexico. However the hourly minimum rate in the states and other countries is our daily rate for 10 hour days and actually the peso is less now. I am finding it hard to understand why people who do not even own cars are out protesting and losing money for work when those of us with cars are inside the house saving the gas for when this is all over!<br />
Why are so few people out on the streets protesting and the roads are blocked with things not protestors!<br />
Paulino needed to go to emergency this morning and I needed to take my mom in law to the doctor in Ensenada but since our truck looks similar to a federal police truck I did not want to tempt those who are mad at the government!<br />
It is getting easeir for me to understand why people do things like take to the streets to get better wages, Cesar Chavez was made famous for it! However there is not much publication or press internationally around here! There is not many people saying we stand with Mexico!<br />
We are here to change hearts and pray that as they follow Jesus and He provides their every need! They will leave poverty and have plenty to share with others while sharing Jesus with them.<br />
Yesterday we had no rice for ourselves and I received a phone call from a friend saying are you going to be home later I am passing by your part of town! She brought tons of stuff! She seems to show up unexpected and unknowing of our needs! Paulino spent the rest of the day making up bags of food for the seniors who really need food in this cold time!<br />
So no life is not about gas and the fact that it costs some 15 minutes of work a gallon and some 6 hours of work a gallon! IT IS ABOUT BREAKING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY!<br />
IT IS ABOUT LOVING THEM WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS AND DOING WHAT WE CAN TO CHANGE ONE LIFE AT A TIME!<br />

These photos are from the first day of rain! We are on our second day and it is supposed to rain for a week! Camalu has opened shelters for those that want to get out! We have a power wheelchair and breathing machines! Not so easy for Jose to live in a shelter! However we are thankful that our community has that option, if you remember in January the flood was a huge surprise and most of our town was taken out by marines! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
December 24 is Christmas here in Mexico! A huge dinner usually cooked all day over firewood, family and friends gathering at midnight to set off fireworks and enjoy the birth of Jesus! However this year was welcomed in by a flood and our neighbors are afraid! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are here to offer the peace of Jesus Christ the real reason for this day of celebration! We also try to help with rice, beans, clothes and blankets! Paulino loves pulling people out of the mud however he needs to go and finishing moving the women's shelter to its new home! So the fun may be mine. Yesterday I had to walk to the salon social and I seen that truly our part of town is the worst when it rains. We live in a very poor part of town and the people here own their land for the most part and do not want to leave because others may come and take their belongings! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
PLEASE PRAY FOR US AND OUR COMMUNITY! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This morning I woke up and my devotion was on Deuteronomy 31 6! How perfect since we are always living in fear of bad health, not being able to provide for Jose and worst of all that his sister will not remember him! Although Jose loves us there is no one he loves more than Gianna! She is not yet two and she already understands that she has to reach up to him and she also knows how to help him when he can not sit himself up! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a fine line separating Jose from professionals who know about Duchenne and the medicines he needs to give him a better life quality! This line also separates him from knowing his aunts and grandparents in te USA. From playing with his crazy cousins who would love him! We took him here to this line so he could see the ocean and tried to get his dad to swim across but no go. We just wanted to see what would the immigration man do sitting in his car on the other side. This line separates people who were brought over and raised as americans all their lives and even have kids and families just an hour away. But most of all it separates my son from a better life. I would love to adopt Jose and get him to Children's hospital! However that cost starts at over $5000! And that does not mean the USA would say yes! </div>

Our town flooded in January and God has been doing some amazing things through that however it has also left a land very bumpy and hard for Jose to get around. His body strength pretty much does not exist so please pray we can get our land level soon and that the winds will calm and he can go outside more. He loves to play football and chase with his friends but when he had his heart attack the doctor said no activities! </div>

Jose new pet! No just kidding it is dead now! On our first night in TJ I was feeding Gianna around 230 am and I felt something crawling on me when I grabbed it, it grabbed me back! As I realized it was not a spider I threw it across the room hitting the wall and waking us all up. We played hide and seek and God finally put him on the floor in front of us! This is a small reminder that Luke 10 19 is true! It is also a reminder that the enemy is always looking to get us! Gianna and I finally fell asleep at 5am and had to wake up at 6am to get Jose to CRIT! The boys had no trouble falling asleep again! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our day was filled with specialists visits. Each asking why Jose wears a face mask and why he does not do more things like school or go to therapies near home! There was a social and financial meeting a psych and a pediatric panel of doctors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although we left feeling a little discouraged we were also encouraged that two of the doctors seemed to know Duchenne! One saying he needs a new wheelchair now! The other saying he needs Heart and lung specialists! Yes and when we told them what kind of insurance we had they all frowned! Yes but God will provide we tell them and they looked at us the same the lady in the financial meeting looked at us when she says your income is less than your outcome! YES we responded but how! GOD! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We told her our lodging was paid for by a birthday gift for Jose and it even came with amazing food! And our gas and other expenses a friend deposited cash into our bank! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They want us to go up a few times a month but we also explained to them that Jose body can not take up to 14 hours in a car round trip and it is expensive. We will get the exams they want from the specialists and see what therapies he can do. However we also explained to them as much as we would love to live in TJ so he could be there weekly, he can not live without his family. His gramma and aunt were his mom for 11 years and his cousins his siblings. They seem to understand. It is hard to say to each doctor in front of your son that his life is too short and that the choices you make need to be in reason for him to enjoy his last days. One doctor got the learning disability problem but the others did not. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somedays God wakes me with a heavy heart for what my son has to hear during this time but then I am reminded that He will call Jose home one day healed and pain free. </div>

You decide! Wednesday was a really bad day or was it a good day.<br />
I hardly ever leave Gianna but I needed to go and help a friend pack, I left during her nap time, so off I went. A few hours later I got some frantic calls from Paulino saying Jose heart was very high! I thought he was talking about blood pressure since we are still learning to take it! Well the last call was my son is dying! I said I will be right there and hung up, driving a Toyota Camry I was able to pass some cars on the road but others at the speed bumps I took the dirt road option! If you have seen the Baja 500 or Baja 1000 you can imagine what this looked like at speeds up to 120! Yes miles per hour!<br />
I got home to find out he was already at the emergency room back in VG where I had just come from. Well Baja 1000 all over again! I got to the door of the emergency room just in time to grab Gianna out of his arms as they wheeled Jose back. I then called a dear friend who came and got Gianna just as they were sending him in ambulance to a better hospital! His heart rate was 247!<br />
Once at the new hospital the internal specialist was called in and told us we had to go out. I explained to her my husband is Jose voice and hands and he could not leave. She explained to me she was the doctor! Well I can see that by your white coat lol! So I explained to her I would go and explain to the director so she would not be in trouble. It is a teaching hospital kind of! I went to the director who is a great man and he then came out and called me in because Jose told him no oxygen!!<br />
He then gave us the talk in English so Jose would not understand that oxygen will not kill him, Duchenne's is doing that!<br />
They were able to get Jose heart rate down to 130 on meds so with that they sent us home and say there is really nothing we can do for you! And then again the talk about Duchenne!<br />
So my poor friends brought Gianna back to us. You can imagine how that was if she is never left with anyone! Bless them they did amazing and we are still friends!<br />
Once we got home, I dropped the ipad and shattered the screen. Figured out I had ripped one of the CV boots on the car and all in all I am sure it was a good day.<br />
If it would have been a bad day I would not be here this Wednesday folding my son's underwear and hearing him argue with me that he does not have too many underwear! He says it is because he has lots of friends and if they ever need to borrow a some he will lend them to them. <br />
<br />
This photo is kind of what it looked like when I got to the hospital!<br />

2016 is bringing many new things! New blessings, new friends, new open doors from God to minister in ways we could never imagine! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes we are still ministering at the trash dumps and to the children of addicts and love what we do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems since the flood God has opened hearts all around us. We have been blessed with clothes and food to help to people in other parts of Camalu. </div>

Our first sewing class we were blessed with two teaches and 5 students! Smiles are not culturally normaly in photos! We all loved the class even the teachers. Out of 7 machines one is working but we are looking for to Becki coming and repairing the others so the women can practice during the week. The women will be able to sale their creations and one day even work from home.

El Niño! Hot Hot Weather! Please pray for Mexico and especially for Camalu! Where we live is a very unpopulated part of Camalu towards the middle of Baja California North. We are far from the hurricanes however we live in the desert and the drought is effecting all of us! <div>
For me it has been about a 6 month spiritual drought! Although I love the hot weather I do not like having a dry spirit! I have to admit I can not tell you exactly when it happen or what caused it but what I do know is that the whole time God has been there with me! Calling me and holding me! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been a little lost at fighting the battle of changing hearts and not cultures but I know when hearts change cultures will change too. However I get very defensive when I see the kids are being effected by cultural things especially when it comes to witch craft and false teaching! </div>
<div>
In my quiet time this morning sitting on the bathroom floor at 5am in the cold it came to me! Do not grieve do not be afraid! Rejoice! </div>
<div>
So where did this come from it came from a verse in 1 Kings 11 Verse 22! If you look at a version other than NIV it says he brought back apes and peacocks! Why did they write that, why did they bring them. what did they do with them, where did they store them onboard, how did they capture them, when they arrived what was their purpose! Ok the peacocks I can imagine have beautiful feathers but apes, baboons, monkeys what ever the version you use! I lived on a ship for two years and I just have so many questions about the apes. I mean it is just this year I realized Noah had more than one pair of each animal on board! And that God destroyed EVER ONE else on the earth other than what was in the ark! </div>
<div>
Actually I think it was just so I could laugh and get out of the desert! Sometimes that is what I feel like a big ape trying to speak a foreign language, live in a culture and economy different than what I know. Raising a child in a world that I am daily learning to live in. </div>
<div>
I do not want to be perceived as King Kong trying to find the one he loves and showing love in his ape way! I want to be like Jesus so that others will want him! </div>
<div>
I am so tired of others tooting our horn! No we are not great we are not amazing we are just living for Jesus! Some days more than others, we want others to know Him because of His life changing power that has changed us and is changing us! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
PLEASE PRAY FOR A FLOOD! Not the one that has been predicted at our house but the one that the living water can bring! We need Jesus to flood our lives so that the sweet sweet water can over flow into others! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<span class="text Matt-12-33" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;"> Paulito's mom left them about two years ago so his two sisters now go to the fields to help his dad while he stays home to watch the house. So now 3 of them are not in school nor do they have a desire to go to school. At first it did not make sense to me why would these parents not push their kids to go to school! I now understand, as we have been doing Jr High homework which has proved difficult for me since I have not done it in 20 years! I can imagine now how the parents feel many have not gone to school past 3rd grade, never learned to read or write and especially not science or history! Why would you invest two weeks salary in uniforms another week in shoes and then more in school supplies? Why would you do this if the end result is only after junior high my kids will go to the fields to pick vegetables and fruits for $8 a day. </span></div>

<span class="text Matt-12-33" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">Yet there is the opposite of Paulito's family! The huge family down the street is Christian and the parents never went to school either. They have a few business' and they send their kids to school all the way to university if they will go. Yes they struggle financially and yes some of their kids are not walking with God! However they know the solution is Jesus and the only way out of the ghetto as we say where I am from is a miracle! Look to the Miracle Maker not for the miracle! </span></div>

<span class="text Matt-12-33" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">This past year we have been amazingly blessed with sports equipment and a playground for our neighbors! It has opened doors like you could not imagine a church across town even brought their team over to play our team! People who would never come over and stopped by to see what is going on and we ask them how are you doing? Do you need some beans and rice or some Mana Pack? As we see what they are wearing if they appear to be in need we offer them clothes or shoes if we have them. We were also blessed with reading glasses and have been able to bless many to start reading again offering them a new testament so they can read the word of God. Some others who can not read but need to sew are now able to! </span></div>

<span class="text Matt-12-33" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">I just think sometimes our life is like that of the desert fruit! No one sees it and how beautiful it is out in the middle of the desert but the sweetness once it is opened and enjoyed is amazing just like our God who put it there. </span></div>
