After a two day travel excursion we made it safely to Panama.  But I want to talk about the debrief time we had last week in Nicaragua.  If someone would have told me how God was going to speak to me in this amazing place…I don´t think I would have believed them. 

 
To start out…it was a long 14 hour bus ride to Nicaragua from El Salvador but I can say that I have started to enjoy travels days a lot.  It is a good time to think about the month and process everything that God has done, so I really took advantage of that time to listen to what the Lord was telling me…and He told me SO much at debrief that there is not enough pen and ink to write it all down. I just want to start by saying how thankful I am that God has brought me on this trip because I have already changed so much and I know that God is going to continue to mold me into the woman He created me to be….and He created me to have an initmate relationship with Him and I am starving for that more and more each day. 
 
1 Peter 1:8-9 says,
“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
 
One night during worship we were singing this–I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOU LIKE YOU`RE NOT IN THE ROOM…I WANT TO LOOK RIGHT AT YOU I WANT TO SING RIGHT TO YOU…and I realized that I don´t want anything more in my life that to look right at Jesus`face and sing praises to Him…because He is so WORTHY of that.  Then I realized that my whole paradigm of what life is had completely changed.  Many things were prophesyed over me at debrief…things that I had been praying for–to hear the Lord´s voice more clearly, to be released from things that I did not even know I was holding on to…to be completely set FREE.
 
And isn´t that was Christmas is all about?  Rejoicing in the fact that a SAVIOR was born to us so that we would not have to carry the heavy burdens of this life alone…that is what I believe it is about.  I know that I NEVER have to do anything on my own because the Lord is guiding every footstep I take.  And even sometimes when it feels like I am walking around blind…I know that God can see everything for me.
 
I am not so sure how our internet will be this month so there is a possiblity that my blogs will be few and far between but I will try to keep you all as updated as possible.  With that being said I still need to raise $2,100.00 by December 31st or I might have to come home.  Pray about it and if the Lord clearly reveals to you that He wants to to help me in this ministry any donation is appreciated more than you know.  Just click the support me tab on my the left of my blog page, under my picture and follow the prompts.  I take a part of all of you with me wherever I go.  Thank you all…so much for your prayer and support. 
 
I wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
