Spanish Lesson

Yesterday, was a very filled day. I studied Acts with Brenda and got ready for our afternoon La Tarde de Damas de Fe. I taught the group of girls or led the discussion about prayer. It was my first time to teach a lesson in Spanish to a group, well I have taught the kids in the church. God really spoke through me and the discussion went really well. I had prayed about what I was going to teach, thought, and meditated on it a lot. We looked at several verses, and I reminded them that God is our friend. We should have a relationship with Him. We should want to talk to him and listen to Him.
One verse that I really liked that we read was 1 Pt 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because He cares for you. Also in Mt 7:7-11 Ask........how much more will God give good gifts.
God really spoke through His Word and me. We grew closer together and I hope that we will all improve in our prayer lives. One thing that we did was decorate prayer boxes. I hope that we will all use the boxes to cast our anxities on the Lord and give them to Him. I pray that we will become Women of Faith and continue to shine in this World. The best thing about teaching was how God spoke through me and His Word. I was not nervous and I was able to share my heart and thoughts of prayer with the girls and the language was not a barrier. I am amazed at God and how He did more than I could ask or imagine (Eph). One goal that I have in the future is to teach Ladies or girls like this in the states. I will continue my ministry wherever I may be. I do not have to be a missionary or AIMer to serve the Lord. I could never stop anyways. I overflow
with joy when I share Jesus and His Word.

Sundays are usually encouraging, learning, exhausting, and fun days. Today was one of those days for sure, but mostly encouraging and fun.

This morning Shawn preached and I understood a lot. He preached on how we are redeemed and were once slaves. He used Hosea as the text and talked about how he had to buy her back. In the same way, we were bought at a price. (1 Cor 6:19-2o)

This afternoon, some of us went to the park and played soccer. Playing soccer and hanging out with Carmen, Alondra, and more is definitely one of my favorite things to do here. Language, which can still be a barrier sometimes, is not required to play. Even in our own language, we just need to give our tongue a rest. All to often we forget to laugh and relax. I recently studied with a girl named Lupita about Romans 1:18-23. Everybody can see that there is a God through what he has made: the sky, nature, us, and etc. As I play soccer with a family that loves me, look at the beautiful sky, and am filled with an indescribable joy, there is no way that I can fail to realize that God is God. He is good! He has put me here for a purpose. He made the world for us to enjoy! He loves me and you! He has a plan for us, far beyond our imagination! Praise God for the blessings that He has given me today! Praise God for showing me how much He loves me through a simple thing, soccer! Why would anyone want to miss out on knowing God, who cares so much? Is there something that God has done in your day to show you His love for you?
