Trusting and Following Where He Leads | 信靠并跟随祂的带领

When people ask me about Honduras, I always say it changed me in ways I never expected.

One of the most powerful moments of the trip was watching my husband share his testimony inside a prison. Knowing his own journey, and seeing him stand before men who had stories so much like his, was something I'll never forget. As we worshipped together, I realized that the freedom we have in Jesus isn't limited by prison walls or our circumstances. In that moment, those men were just as free as we were because true freedom is found in Christ alone.

Another moment that will stay with me forever happened on our final day. Our medical clinic wasn't very busy. We were told it was going to be the busiest day of all, with FEMA, local helpers, and many others expected to be there. But no one came. So Pastor Andrea and I, along with a few members of the Compassion team, decided to walk through the community with a megaphone, inviting people to come.

Along the way, we met the sweetest families, children who greeted us with joy, and a deaf man whose friends simply told us, "He doesn't have a name." My heart broke, but I was immediately reminded that every single person has a name to Jesus. He knows us, sees us, and loves us deeply. I've continued praying for that man ever since we came home.

When we returned to the clinic, something incredible happened. People began arriving—many of them the very people we had met while walking through the village. The last family to come was a father and his young son, whom we had personally invited, and the little boy had a dangerous high fever. In that moment, I realized that if we had stayed where it felt comfortable, if the day had gone as planned, we never would have met them.

It was a powerful reminder that God's plans are often different from our own, and our role is simply to be willing to follow where He leads. God had a purpose for every step we took that day.

Honduras taught me that being the hands and feet of Jesus isn't about having all the answers; it's about saying "yes," trusting where He's leading, and believing that even the smallest act of obedience can become part of His greater plan.

当人们问起我对洪都拉斯的感受时，我总是说，这次经历以我从未预料到的方式改变了我。

这次旅程中最触动我的时刻之一，是看到我的丈夫在监狱里分享他的见证。了解他过去所走过的道路，再看到他站在那些经历与他如此相似的人面前，这一幕将永远铭刻在我的记忆中。当我们一起敬拜时，我深深体会到，我们在耶稣里所拥有的自由，并不会因监狱的高墙或我们所处的环境而受到限制。就在那一刻，那些弟兄和我们一样自由，因为真正的自由唯有在基督里才能找到。

另一个让我永远难忘的时刻发生在我们行程的最后一天。那天，我们的医疗义诊点并不是很忙。原本有人告诉我们，那将会是最忙碌的一天，因为预计会有FEMA工作人员、当地协助者以及许多其他人来到现场。然而，最后却没有人来。于是，Andrea牧师和我，以及「怜悯事工」（Compassion Team）的几位成员，决定拿着扩音器走进社区，邀请居民前来参加义诊。

一路上，我们遇见了许多亲切的家庭，也遇见了满怀喜乐向我们打招呼的孩子们。我们还遇见了一位聋哑人，当我们询问他的情况时，他的朋友只是简单地告诉我们：「他没有名字。」那一刻，我的心都碎了。但同时，我立刻想到：在耶稣眼中，每一个人都有名字。主认识我们、看见我们，并且深深地爱着我们。回到美国后，我一直持续为那位弟兄祷告。

当我们回到医疗站时，不可思议的事情发生了。人们开始陆续前来，其中很多正是我们刚刚在村里探访时遇见的人。最后来到的一家人，是一位父亲和他年幼的儿子——他们正是我们亲自邀请来的。那个小男孩当时正发着高烧，情况相当危急。就在那一刻，我意识到，如果我们一直待在自己舒适的地方，如果那一天完全按照原计划进行，我们就永远不会遇见他们。

这让我深刻地明白，神的计划往往与我们的计划不同，而我们的责任，只是愿意顺服并跟随祂所带领的道路。那一天，我们所走的每一步，神早已有祂的目的。

洪都拉斯教会了我，成为耶稣的手和脚，并不意味着我们必须拥有所有的答案；而是愿意向神说「是」，相信祂的带领，并相信即使是最微小的顺服，也能成为祂伟大计划中的一部分。
