Went to a wedding yesterday,it was quite an event.The differences in culture is amazing. The people here are so much more expressive.Have made alot of new friends here at El Reffugio,particulary Ella and Jose.Have been struggling with obedience. The LORD has asked me to do something that is a huge stretch for me. I had started it and my flesh rose up so I turned away.Then I went off on GOD for a while defending myself, which really made me feel bad. tThe next day I was journaling and just felt inspired to write a letter to GOD. Then I felt his spirit come over me and feel as though he wrote a letter to me through me in response to my letter. In it he told me how much he loved me and how far I´ve come since first crying out to him. That I´m not far from coming to the end of myself and to keep fighting, and that there is a day coming that I will truly be happy and it´s not that far away.There is still a chasm to be crossed but HE says I will make it. Please ask the LORD to give me clear direction and his strength to step out in faith and obide in him. I also want to thank all those who post comments. Your prayer´s and encouragement have helped me through many a bad night. Sometimes we don´t know that one little word inspired by GOD spoken in obedience can have a profound impact on someone who struugles with the unseen. I write that to remind myself that my words and attitude effect those in my sphere. Please just be petitioning the LORD to help me in doing what he has called me to do. I almost forgot Fransisco who is this hardened,atheist,Vietnam vet who ivé had the priveledge of getting to know and minister to, who Ella and Jose have been ministering to for year´s , prayed over his daughter and new husband yesterday,and afterward´s said to Ella he finally get´s it. That we can´t do it without God. That is a huge thing though it seem´s very small. You don´t know Fransisco, and we never know what other´s have been through. IN HIS CARE, HUGH
