My days leading this team have been divinely designed. I knew from the beginning – even before I was put into this position – that I couldn’t do it alone. Here’s are some examples of how we’re radically living by simply following the voice and heart of our Father…
**Woke up to run. Muddy. An excuse to turn back over and rest some more. Opened a book to begin my time with the Lord. I’m reading some about Peter and his life following after Jesus. Good morning…still thankfully amazed that I am living this out in Nicaragua right now…
**Linda arrives at our site with a bus of 20 Americans who are expected to put on a youth event throughout the day. The leaders and interpreters pray for God’s schedule.
**Rosa – an old Nicaraguan woman who is a powerful intercessor for the church there – is there that morning. After we pray as leaders Linda pull us all and the other American team to pray for Rosa because she has been sick recently and has had two strokes in the past.
**As we are praying for Rosa I feel like Katie from our team should at least go with Rosa to her doctor appointment today to cover the whole situation in prayer. It ended up that Katie, Liz, and Rebekah went with Rosa to the doctor along with Diego and Evan. [Doctor visits and grocery runs fully involved in the culture kinda wrapped up their fun afternoon.]
**That morning Linda shared a word of encouragement with the American team. I sat eagerly listening and watching the youth…God gave me a word to share too and I could hardly wait…
**I had seen this guy while we were praying for Rosa. His eyes are stunning. God spoke. Discernment, and also David. I was thinking his name could be David but when I asked he said his name was Jared Alan. I encouraged him to pray into people and situations and God would give him holy and Kingdom eyes to see what others may miss. When others only see a Goliath Jared will see the bigger God that wins. Later he told me that his dad and brother were named David. His dad is a prayer leader in the church and his older brother is walking away from the Lord. What I was sharing with him confirmed some of what he had been talking about the night before. It was a blessing to share that with him.
**Did the dishes Nicaraguan style. I think I got laughed at in Spanish. A lot.
Me gusta mucho!
