So the team leaves early Sunday morning, and it is back to life as normal. We head out to meet everyone at the bomba to head to Arjona for a Sunday of fun in the sun. When we get there, there are 3 new guys who we were not expecting waiting to head out with us which is such a blessing! We arrive and the older guys of the barrio are playing on the street we normally use. They have been doing this for about 3 weeks now and I think they are trying to get back into playing with us but we have not started anything yet...just waiting on HIS timing!
I take my group of little guys which is quite a huge group now...with a lot of girls and guys who are stepping up as leaders and are so close to making a decision!! I am so excited to see what HE has in store for them! Jota takes his group of girls and guys (14-16 years old) which has also multiplied since the tournament. And would you know that the older guys who were playing in the streets were playing in teams of 4 and we just happened to have 4 guys that day with us. So Jota talked to the youth from the barrio to see if they could play and so they got into the game with the older youth. I explained to 3 newbies and JD that the idea is for them to start friendships with them and not to tell any story with them...just get to know them! It was a neat day and I am excited to see what HE has in store for this group!
Monday was full of planning and getting all the final details ready for the retreat that we were having that weekend. And Monday, Gomer moved to her new home with Jota's aunt about 15 minutes away! Tuesday, we had a great time in the Word with the women. We are not moving very fast through the Word but they are understanding each and every verse that we read. HE is using HIS Words to encourage, challenge, and inspire these women. It is really neat to see just how hungry they are for HIS Truth and how HE meets them every week with exactly what they need! HE is so amazing!!
Wednesday, we went out to Arjona because they were starting some festival of the bulls on Thursday and it would not be safe for us to head out there. This was the first time we had gone out since the health brigade and it was exciting to see how many of the people we had met during this brigade were coming and wanting to hear HIS stories. In one of the houses, we had 6 new women that came to hear HIS stories! I was also able to head to Ptrc's house and sit with her and tell her some stories. She is very smart but comes from a Catholic background and has lots and lots of questions. The whole day was full of divine appointments with HIS people and it was neat to watch HIM work! The leaders were shocked with just how many people were open to hear HIS Words, especially in the new area which has been so cold for so long! HE is preparing us for a great harvest!
Thursday, Ruth and I went to Barranquilla to have a day away with Our Father. It was such a blessing to walk around in their mall, eat Burger King, and spend time individually with Our Father. I just needed a change of scenery and needed to hear from HIM about what HIS Will is for my life. We had a great time of talking, pryng, and listening! It was a blessing that HE gave us to just get away with HIM for a day! We also decided that we needed to get together every morning, after dumb insanity, and pry for our leaders of this work, this work, each other...especially if we want to see HIM change anything!
Friday was full of last minute running around, buying, and cleaning before the girls came! And I was able to spend some amazing time with HIM again! Still no words as to where HE wants me to go, I am just patiently waiting on HIS response. HE showed me that yes, I do hear His voice and HE has chosen not to reveal HIS response to me right now. Please continue to pry for HIS Will and for my patience as I wait on HIM! I will not move without HIM!
Okay, time for another break if you need it...I know you are getting older and might need to stretch your legs at this point!
