Happy Monday to you! We finished the Truth Project last Monday and it was neat to watch them process all that we had learned. We are going to take tonight to review all of the different lessons and to answer any questions that they might have about any of the lessons. It should be a good time of discussion, so please pry about what HE has designed for tonight! I am still not clear as to what HE wants us to do but we shall see what HE reveals to me during this day!
Tuesday was incredible! Really, I am not sure if I have words to describe how HE showed up in a huge way last Tuesday morning in our women's study. First of all, we arrive and there are three of them waiting on us and Ptrc (the newest displaced woman I have been telling you about) is there with her Book open! So I went with Sndr to invite a couple of others, including Krn (who accepted last week). I wish you could have seen the excitement in her face and voice when we came to get her to study the Book! It was awesome! So we spent a lot of time talking about their homework, we were explaining to the 4 new women what homework they have each week. I think I have told you but in case you have forgotten, because you are old, I will remind you! We have them look at things that happen all day in their life, in their family or in the streets to tell us what happened, was it good or bad, why they think that, and what does The Book say. It is a way to get them looking into their Book and becoming more familiar with It. It was neat to listen to all of them sharing with each other! Crmn shared that her daughter thinks she is in love with this boy (she is only 14 mind you) and actually confided in her mom with this secret. Crmn was asking us for advice from The Book as to what she could share with her. As we shared different scripture (HS given) to her, it was incredible to watch all the women say, yeah I am going to talk to my kid about this! Who knows...HE might have ordained this time to teach the moms what it looks like to be a man and woman of HIM all along! I had originally thought that the men needed to be taught but in reality where are the men? How cool that HE will teach the women HIS Truths and they will teach it to their children, both boys and girls! HE is so good in answering the cries of our hearts in HIS Way and HIS Timing! Then we reviewed the Beatitudes again with them this week, since we had so many new ladies with us. It was cool to watch each of them allow the HS to translate and draw their attention to different verses. It was a really good time with them in HIS Word but the most exciting thing was to watch them look for different verses and help each other and process HIS Words out loud with each other! PRAISE HIM for this group of women and please continue to lift up Sndr, Mrhls, Crmn, Jsphn, Lrf, Ml, Ptrc, Krn, Jr, and Bbd each Tuesday at 9:00AM as they open up HIS Book with us!
The rest of the day I was working on an expense report but got a migraine and had to stop to rest. I laid down to close my eyes and woke up 2 hours later with Jota banging on the door, ready for his english class. He brought dinner and we were able to talk a little before I wanted to lay back down because of my headache!
Wednesday, woke up with the headache again but not to the migraine status. Drlys came over and we spent time in the Word and pryng. I also showed her how to put on her makeup and did her eyebrows! She is too funny and is doing well leaning on HIM for all that she needs. Please ask that HE will give her a job soon that will provide for her or that HE will continue to provide for all her needs in HIS Own Way! I finished my report from Tuesday and I also started a newsletter for the clubs here, and a 4 page detailed report of our ministry to give to each pastor. I feel like that if they will not meet with me right now, I needed to write down the overall goal of this work so that they youth could take it and talk to their pastors about this work. Maybe this was HIS design all along instead of me being frustrated because we have not been able to meet for over 2 months now! I am trying to listen and be obedient. But then the headache reached super migraine status and I had to lay down again and cancel my 2 discipleship times. I am thinking I am getting these headaches because of the climate change that we are experiencing. Please ask HIM to heal me as it is difficult for me to do anything with these debilitating headaches!
Thursday, we went out to Arjona. We waited around a lot in the morning and honestly, I cannot tell you why...even to this day. But I took advantage of the time to spend in pryr with Mrhls. She had I went out together in the morning and had an amazing time together! I cannot get enough of her and watching HIM pour HIS love into and out of her life! We first went to Ptrc's house and she was the only one there because Alx had gone to Medellin to check on his mom. Once again, HE is working in such a huge way in her life right now! She is reading and is asking so many questions. I am thankful that each week HE gives Mrhls and myself the answers to each of her questions and also that the two of us are obedient to tell her where the answers come from, so that she does not look to us for anything but only to HIM! After that, we went to Jr's house! I have not been able to go to her house for 3 weeks because they have sent me to another area! It was so great to see her, see her growth, and she had 3 of the neighbors there to hear HIS Words! It was a sweet time of worship and study! Please pry for her salvation! We finished the morning with a group of indigenous and some new people I had never met. We actually had 2 men with us. And while they were slow in understanding the story, they listened and eventually understood HIS Truths! I am asking that these new people continue to come and that HIS Word creates a hunger in them for more of HIM. That afternoon, I went out to the farm to visit the family that I love so much! We had a great time of study and discussion afterwards. We were talking about our job to go and tell...it was neat to watch The Spirit put the words in our mouths that opened the door for the women (who normally say nothing) to discuss and share! It was beautiful! The other two houses we went to were great as well. HE definitely showed up on Thursday to bring HIMSELF glory! And I loved watching every minute of it!
Friday, I spent working on more reports and meeting with some youth about the next step for this work! We then had a meeting which went well. We talked about pryr. I felt that they were not claiming HIS Words and living them out. We read lots of different passages about the power of pryr and how we should pryr. HE opened up some good discussion and we ended the night in pryr. I hope they continue to not only claim these Truths but live them out every day in all things, not just in this ministry!
Saturday, I had a fabulous day of work! I still am working with the group of hellions in NM that no one else wants! I am enjoying it every minute and have seen HIM change them like 90%! It is incredible their attitudes or lack of them each week! We are playing volleyball, my favorite, and they love it as well! We talked about the importance of obedience in our walk with HIM and what is baptism. They actually not only listened to me but we talked and discussed what baptism was and answered lots of their questions with HIS Words. It was neat to see and be apart of and we shall see what HE does with their new understandings! That afternoon, only Jota, the Paul's and I went out to VE but we had a great group! Ruth and I worked with the younger girls and guys playing volleyball and Jota and Bobby worked with the older guys. I am not sure what HE wants us to do in VE. I am asking for HIS guidance as to where HE wants us to go and how HE wants us to glorify HIS Name out there. Please ask for more leaders and HIS direction for this area!
JD, you know the one I just love, has started a site with his club near where their club is. They meet each Saturday at 4:30 and are having a good group of youth. I am going to talk to him today about training his team as they start a new work near their club! Praise HIM for putting this on JD's heart to start a new work using this strategy to reach the youth near their clubs.
Yesterday, I went to Central and spent some time with Jota's mom. She is doing well but not feeling very good here lately. Jota and I went to eat at the mall. Jota introduced me to this little burritos that are delicious and only about 2 dollars and fill you up! So I was craving one of those and then we headed back home to get ready for Arjona. As we were on the way to Arjona, Mrhls called me to tell me that it was raining and that we shouldn't go out. What a blessing! So, we went back home, took a nap, watched a movie, and spent some good time in the Word together! It was great Sunday in HIS Word!
I am a little excited because Kerri should be here in a couple of hours! I am so excited to see what HE has planned for our time together as sisters!! I cannot wait...have a great week!! Talk to you soon!
