Aside from rant about MySpace... it's been a while since I posted. A lot has been going on. I was away in Guatemala for a ten day mission trip with 14 others from my church. It was in a word AMAZING! We worked along side a church there and did ministry with them. There was a lot of prayer focus, evangelism, marriage related conferences, dicsipleship, a feeding program for the children who live in the ravine (the poorest part of the city) we gave them breakfast before school, which for some was the only food all day... this was heartbreaking. We also taught English... I loved doing this! The people of the city were so wonderful... they taught a whole new dimension of love and servanthood. I love my team that went as well... I enjoyed all the different personalities and gifts the Lord brought together. Definitely hand picked by God. We also had a "down day" wow what a day! 2 days before we went home we spent the day at a resort... so cool! Swimming and relaxing all day! I am so happy I obeyed the Lord's call to this place. I never wanted to go... up to the day it was time to leave I didn't want to go... but I knew He had called so I went. There were so many reasons I didn't want to go... sadly the biggest one was a deep seeded prejudice toward Spanish or Mexian people, because of a lot of bad situations in my life when I lived in Texas. God more than broke this on the trip. I fell deeply in love with the people. So much so I'm going to be taking a Spanish class, so I won't miss the chance to really get to know this wonderful group of people. God has changed a lot in me. I'm not sure I did much for the Guatemalan people, but they did so much for me. I had something very cool happen to me... when I spent the night in Antigua I felt like the Lord spoke these words to me "You will stand on mountains in other nations and I will thunder down."... Made no sense at all, then the next day a friend and I were praying near the church (which is on a mountain) near a steep drop off, when we were about to say Amen it thundered twice! God is so AWESOME! Okay so this is a jumbled ramble I'm sure... but I never claimed to be poetic! I'll close with this: No matter where God calls you or what He asks you to do... DO IT! You'll never be the same! God Bless You All!
