(Pictures have nothing to do with blog- just some good D.R. culture)
I tend to enjoy reflecting what God is doing. And at times scared that I might miss something that God is trying to teach me.
I spend time in my journal, reading great Christian books, and trying to catch what God is at work doing in my life. I try to listen intently on what the spiritual leaders say or preach; I listen closely to what teammates say.
I get confused with all of the new ways I am seeing God. And at times need to reflect just with God’s word and say God what are you speaking to me? (our transportation to caves- we weren’t sure if we were gonna make it)

On the H squad it seems someone is continually fasting from food. And I find myself challenged by this method of truly sacrificing something to dedicate more time to prayer and focusing on God. Sunday morning I felt God putting on my heart to fast from any literature except the Bible.
I later had a conversation with my brother and he reminded me of this simple truth that so easily I forget. He told me to: 1. Listen to what God tells me and 2. to check everything with Scripture. Because we ARE ALL human. Sometimes the spiritual leaders I look up to have to be taken down from the pedestals I put them on, and the Jesus that I so admire in them needs to be put on the highest pedestal.
As much as I love Christian books, pastors, authors, and online sermons I know God’s word is unchangeable and HIS truths remain the same. AND I need to cling to the every words that are in the BIBLE, not that come out of people’s mouths.

(inside the caves-there were bats!)
SO I encourage each one of you to not simply take my word at the truths I have encountered this past couple months. But ask God for yourself and read in Scripture. HE will come alive in your own life. Because Praise be to the God who is the same yesterday, today and forever! (Hebrews 13:8)
Please pray:
