A year has passed
and guess what? WE MADE IT! This crossroad was our first hard decision we had because
the odds were against us. However, by the grace of God we made it! We have been
rejected, we have been made fun of, we’ve been told we wouldn’t make it, that
we are just dreamers, but thanks to God and people like you we have finished a
year. Not an easy year, a year with
disappointment, a year of wondering, a year with confusion, and a year with
doubts, but in every situation that we lacked strength, God strengthened us and
sent someone like you to aid us. The aid
came in many different ways and each one was so important and valuable to us.
If you asked me what I have learned? This is what I have learned: church, family,
and acquaintances will fail you and many times betray you especially in the
moments you need them, but when your heart is in the right place God is always going
to give you an answer which can be yes, no, and wait. The other thing that I
have learned is that I do not have to depend on man but depend on God because He
is the one that gives and the one that takes and His love towards us has no
limits. A major thing that I have been learning is humility so that God can use
me . Also, I learned that to do ministry especially overseas you need people with
the same heart as you, but not that they just believe in you and in your ideas,
but believe on the same God that you worship. So to those who have believed in
us I want to say thank you!
Now what I
still need to learn is to understand people better, their ways, their thoughts,
their way of living, so I may do a better job. To learn to be quite and be
still while God is talking. In knowing that his will is the right move always
and being content in that. I still need to learn to put down my pride everyday
so that the Lord may use me as He used Moses because of His humility. To be a
better steward of the time that He has given me on this earth and the gifts I
have acquired by His mercy for His glory.
As I
struggle and I as I sin I still want to serve the Lord, and I desire so much to
see others come with their weaknesses and difficulties to join the body, not a
body that is perfect, not a body without blemishes, but come to love our God
and love our neighbors!
We cannot emphasize
enough what importance the true body of Christ has been to us this year and we
so want other to see the blessings, love, encouragement of being and taking
part in this body! We are so expectant and hopeful to have the body grow and
strengthen and together to seek the face of our Savior, to fall more in love
with Him, to be more in awe of Him, and to embody Him more every day! That
together we may bring Him more glory.
In life as
ministry one is always going to have loses and the road may be painful not just
spiritually but physically as well, so I encourage you to keep fighting the
good fight and seek God first and then seek others so that you may grow up in spiritual
strength and when the devil comes you will resist him.
Blessings
brothers and sisters may my God guide you in your difficulties and trails and
always remember that you are not a number you are family!
Thank you
again to the body of Christ we are so blessed by you!
