Meet Yasmine

This sweet lady is 19 years old and now holds a special place in my heart. i met her about 3 weeks ago but just now had time to sit and update my blog on her. i met her in a squatter village that we serve alongside here called RIO 3. This particular day i was not in charge of a work project but me and my good friend Emilee Banks were in charge of getting every name, shoe size, t-shirt size, and age of every child that we serve in this particular area. We talked to over 10o kids and mothers on this day. It was alot of spanish. All of the sudden we realize that Yasmine was hanging around our table all day long. with her baby. so we invited her to sit and started asking questions about her life. it took a while to get a little deeper but oh my goodness how the Lord is using her. she is a 19 year old mother of 2 1/2 kids. she is pregnant with her 3rd. 19 years old. i can't even imagine that. Then she started sharing her testimony and her life with the Lord now. her testimony is incredible and God has delivered her from all sorts of things and addictions. Emilee and I both left this conversation just in awe of how God is working in that place in the Rio. There is no mistake that we talked to her that day. We had the privilege of praying with her before we left. There is no doubt in my mind that she is a warrior princess fighting even to survive with her husband (who is not a believer) and her 2 almost 3 kids. She is a testimony not only to what God is doing in her life but to all of us. It seriously was an incredible day of just knowing that God's presence is near and it was so sweet. I ask that you would come along side me in praying for her and specifically her family. Pray that her husband will see joy, truth, and a light through her and that he would taste the Lord's goodness. Pray for her pregnancy that she gets enough nourishment for her baby to grow and be healthy. Pray for her relationship with the Lord to continue to be strong. Thank you for standing firm with me in fighting for the lives of the people living here in Monterrey, Mexico.
