Last night we played soccer and I overdid it. Played anything goes with locals and I pummelled everybody I could – my version of soccer. I body checked about 10 different Mexicans and the Lord was with me. I dont want you to think Im getting soft after yesterdays blog. Today I rested. The Lord has me on a 10 day fast, and today is day 7. He told me to do this before I left and I tried and stumbled. Ive been having a rough time since, so in that we have to go back to the last thing God told us to do. Complete that and move forward. Im totally drained and God is breaking things off me. You can pray that I will have strength and that my flesh wont rise up. I have 3 more days to go and Im weary, but the Lord is my strength and I will make it. Looking forward to gorging myself on Tuesday. The Lord has called me to fast so its nothing Ive contrived and Im just asking Him to do His good and perfect will in me through this. I really need to develop more grace for others. Im easily offended. And God doesnt ever want me to be offended. Mexico is beautiful. Bathing out of a bucket is no fun. Love the locals, the children. Ministry time is definitely my favorite part. I love sharing the Lord with people. Im confident that the Lord is going to use this period of my life to transform me. Im just trying to learn to walk with Him more closely. Im reading The Bait of Satan. My pastor gave it to me just before I left and its one of those “Gods timing” things. Its the right book for the season. Im really trying to process it and implement the precepts. Just trying to live free. Adios!
