I need To give you an update of whats been going on here. Like said on my blog last week, we have been studing the Father´s Heart of God. abd tgus topic was a great topic to alway know and apply to me everyday life. Our for last week was txperience God´s love. We learn that everything about God is love. He is our Father that loves us very much and wants the best for us. He´s our daddy. I learn that the word ¨Abba¨ means daddy. and everything that we have to say is imporatnt to him.
in Matthew 3:17, Mark 1:11, and Luke 3:22; When Jesus was bapitized, God said to Him¨you are my som, whom I live; with you I am well pleased¨. When God said this, Jesus had not yet done any miracles ar anything huge. But yet because Jesus was his son, He was happy with him anyways. And it´s the same with us, we don´t need to so anything big to be loved y him or even our parents, because they love us no matterwhat.
alot of what we talked about was before we became part of God´s family we were orphan and our Father adobted us. He had been waiting for us to be part of the family but not only be part of it but to knkow it and live it. He has a big desire and wants to share that desire with us.
Being with Jesus is a walk, a journey. We my feel sad, happy, lonely, full of life, sometimes we may feel him, sometime we may not, but the one thing we need to know is that he will never leave us. And when we know that we are loved by Him, it will give us the strength we need in time of trouble.
On Thursday, on our time of ministry we did what is called ¨The Amazing Prayer Race¨ We split up on 3 groups, then we were giving a task were we would go to public place that was govong to us and pray. So my group was to go to Heredia football stadium, the market, a catholic church, and to the major´s office. Now let me tell you ir was pretty cool. Our first stop was the foorball stadium. We ask the people of the stadium if we can fo in to the field and they said yes. They first gave us a tour then they took us to the field (this wasn´t a big stadium but to be there was awesome) So was told the guy if it was ok if he would give us a couple of minutes cause we wanted to pray for the place and the team´s players. and he let us We all prayer out oud. Then we went to the market and we had to pray for someone that owed a stand. So we found an older lady that worked there. We talked to her, building a relationship with her. Then we told her that we wanted to pruy for her and her family and for her business and we just wanted to bless her, She was more than willing. and we prayed for her. So that was a great feeling for me. To just fo to someone and say I want to pray for you. So them later we went to the church, bit there was a service going on. So we went to sit kon the back and prayed on our own. Then the mahors office, we ask couple of questions, went to a spot were the was no one and we prayed. After all this I was pretty excited to do something like that, becaise it was something I've never done.
Another thing that I did last week was going to the women jail. We got together with the YWAM base in San Jose and got a pretty big froup together. We did dramas, a few people samg songs, someone dance, and one of the girls from the other base brought a message about the love of the Father. And I realize that many women are missing love. The love of God. So many women were touch by us being there and God using us.
I could finish here but I know that its mid week already and we have been in a new topic. This week we are talking about worship. And how worship is a way of a lifestyle or culture. It's a way of praise, honor, and serves. We can worship in many ways we want as long as we are surrendering it to him
Well I just wanted to give you an updat on whats been going on. And also that i wont be able to write for the next 2 weeks. But I'll at least try to post some picture. (but im not promising it) I'll be going on a camping trip to the jungle this sunday and coming back either Friday or Saturday.
