Esperar lo inesperado!

Tu vida será más radiante que el sol de mediodía,
y la oscuridad será como el amanecer. Job 11:17

Este es un versículo que una amiga me compartió mientras le contaba sobre mi último viaje de misiones en México con el ministerio de FX Missions. Le comentaba que mientras visitaban a los niños de Esperanza Viva en Matamoros, decidí al último momento unirme al equipo y hacer el viaje al interior de México en ellos, en ese momento pude sentir de manera palpable el amor de Dios derramado sobre mí.

¡Cuando Dios abre puertas por las que El quiere que camines, realmente no puedes resistirte a eso! Tal vez en algunas ocasiones no estés muy seguro si realmente es Dios, pero definitivamente esta vez no era una de esas ocasiones, claramente pude oír al Espíritu Santo hablándome e invitándome a asociarme con El…. ¡Y no pude resistirme a su invitación! ¡Qué hermoso es caminar en Su perfecta voluntad! Dios y Sus promesas, ¿Cómo resistirse a Él?.

Personal Rendezvous

David's life was different than those who went before him.  God wanted to start something new, a new season in time, and the introduction of that time was wrapped up in David's life, his destiny and calling in God.  In many ways, these things lead David into difficulty and peril, so it wasn't arranged with the priority of David's comfort and / or convenience in mind.  God's will for us can lead us into inconvenience, discomfort and also peril.  But that doesn't mean we should try to avoid His will, or that the costs introduced by His will should be avoided.

Expect the Unexpected

Life will be brighter than noonday,

and darkness will become like morning. Job 11:17

 This was a verse that a good friend of mine shared with me when I told her about my recent mission trip in Mexico with FXMissions. I told her how real I felt the Love of God, pour over me as I determined at the last moment to join the team on their trip into the interior of Mexico. They were visiting Esperanza Viva Youth Home in Matamoros to spend some time with the youth before leaving for their trip.

When God opens doors that He wants you to walk through you really can’t say no! There are times when you are not sure if it is God but this was definitely not one of them I could clearly hear the Holy Spirit speaking to me and inviting me to partner with Him …I couldn’t resist this invitation! How pleasant it is to walk in God’s perfect will! God and His promises, how can you resist Him? Continue reading “Expect the Unexpected”

A Different Mexico / Part V

(Taken from Ken Brooks' blog – FIMUpdate – this post is part 5 in his Mexico Series.  Get to the other posts here – FIMUpdate)

Previously, I mentioned a rather messy ride from Cuernavaca to Puebla. What would have been an hour and half drive by car, ended instead with 2 additional by bus. That wasn’t too huge a deal, save we had someone waiting at the station in Puebla to pick us up. And even that would not have been so bad, had the movies they aired over that long ride, lacked the strong, sexually, immoral overtones they did. Still, I rather enjoyed the newer, Spanish translation of “Planet of the Apes”. Would have watched it 3 times, in fact.

For me, my outlet was a long, deep conversation with Scott. For others, worship music via an iPod/Phone, or other means, was a viable solution. We came up with other ideas, post travel; preparing in advance  what our plan of attack would be, should we encounter a similar situation. Funny thing was – we would! And having prayed ahead, the films aired on that next go round were of higher standards. Praise God! Continue reading “A Different Mexico / Part V”
