When I was in Honduras in November, I had the opportunity to meet Noe. He is my age and his spirituality and true joy in Christ lit an amazing fire within my heart. I think of Noe often and how he has endured so much more than I have and we have been given the same amount of time thus far on this earth. I think of his joyful spirit, happily interacting with us as we visit with him. Recalling his happiness, I spent a lot of time since November reflecting on how he maintained such a happy demeanor with all of the struggles that he has been through. I think of his generosity as he handed me the rosary bracelet that he made himself and wore and prayed every day. He has inspired my spiritual life so deeply just by being a beautiful son to our loving God!
A few weeks ago my friend Justin posted this video of Noe and each moment of my time with Noe came flooding to mind as I watched it. I was re-inspired, reignited! I have a joyful heart knowing the when Noe said
"I'll see you again soon" that it is really going to be soon! In just over 2 months I will get to see Noe again! Only 9 months after we met! I had no intentions of returning to Honduras so soon and God has done great great things and changed my heart!
I cannot wait to see him again!
