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?
