Basically, God has set my world on fire. I burned myself on a motorcycle but God has taught me a lot through that symbolically. First, he is completely burning my old life and all the bad habits I have. In general, He is taking away my pride and everything I think I am good at so I recognize how much I need Him. I am weak and nothing without Him. Also, He has been letting others step up so I can sit back and love people and just be with them. I have been sitting back and listening and letting God lead. Life is amazing when I’m trusting God and others. It is different and hard, but so beautiful.
I have been able to spend so much time with the youth and experiencing God’s love and joy. Just being with God and helping people. I’ve truly understood the verse “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously and He will give everything you need.” Matthew 6:33 in these past couple days. He has taken care of my every need after I seek Him first. I’ve been able to play some awesome sand vball, chill with the girls, sleepovers, fasting, prayer walks, cook tacos, dance with ribbons with the kids, God put a song on my heart to sing at the women’s service- Perfume a Tus Pies (gracias a oscar para mostrarmelo), taught some boys English, went around town with some of the girls and met all their families. We put on this youth service that was incredible. God worked. We sang songs in English and Spanish for a while. Then we split up into girls and boys and told testimonies and just prayed for the city and each other. Then everyone wrote their burdens and we all walked out to the cross. We threw our sins and problems into the campfire when we were ready. People were singing. Others were weeping at the cross. Others sat in silence. So awesome to see people cry out to God and finally come to Christ for the first time or just give up their problems. How beautiful. Then we all danced and celebrated how good God is. We were running around the campfire holding hands and singing Spanish and English songs victoriously!!! El fuego de Dios esta aqui.
