January
January has been a busy, challenging and exciting mouth. I don’t have a lot of time… but I will give you a quick overview in what has all been happening in my life…
In the beginning of the year we were told that we were going to do a dance video to one of the music tracks songs. I believe I wrote in one of my posts about it. We started by praying of a topic… then we gave the dance track what we came up with so they could create a song. There were three groups and from those songs we choose the one we felt God wanted up to use. After that our leaders prayed about ideas and a dance to go along with it. They choose me to be apart of the acting and solo dance. So my weekends have been filled with filming sence for the dance video and dancing my solo piece. We have finished all the filming… we are not just waiting for the editing to be done and hopefully I will be able to post it so you can see what we have been up too here.
We were also asked to create a dance that showed our heart for an injustice in the world and we would use that on our mini-outreach ( which I am on right now) as a dance tour. We have all been working very hard this week to put together this show. So far our hard work has really paid off… we have had two show so far and we have two more to come.
Along with all the dance track stuff we were doing… we also had are regular teaching… the first week we had on evangelism. The second week we had on missions… this week was very interesting. He taught on adapting to the culture we would be going to and meeting them in their culture… not making them adapt to our culture then bring the gospel. He shard a lot from his life as a long term missionary… about the rewards and challenges that he and his family has had and how God has lead them to where they are now. The third week or last week was on Identity. This week was a little different, cause most of our staff was away on a conferance… so we had the leadership lead the week instead. It was a very good and busy week. We were invited to the two of the leaderships places for supper and the other two nights we had some of the refuges that are here come over for dinner and fellowship. It was so nice to hang out with them and get to know them. A lot of them have been here for around 3 months and don’t have much contact with people outside of their community. So, it was very nice to be able to serve them and befriend them. There were a couple of women that we exchanged numbers with… so hopefully we will have time to hang out with them a couple of times.
We also had AMAZING teaching this week.. it was about getting out of the box. He talked about not allowing fear, comparison, critism, arogance, egoism, and control to keep us from doing the will of God. How God wants us to free of all those things and when we find our true Identity in God and that God can set us free from all these things and through that freedom we can find our true identity in God, also finding true freedom. he also thought that through our freedom and identity in God we can start to dream big with Him. That God gave us dreams, desires and gifts that He created in us to use… all we have to do and give them back to Him, give Him back the right and allow Him to use these things. God can only do through us what we allow Him to do… if you we don’t have faith or believe that these things are possible, then they won’t be. But if we believe in a BIG and GOOD God and believe that HE CAN TO ALL THINGS WHO STRENGTHENS US… then we can move mountains and do amazing things. But first we need to give up our rights to Him, then He will give Himself back to us. Wow!! God is good, and He is teaching me that so often I minimize Him to this small little box and don’t allow Him to be as BIG as He should be in me life. I pray to whomever reads this blog… that you to can get revelation on God’s GREATNESS and that you can see how much He loves you and what’s to do AMAZING things through you, if only you would let Him. Yes, Lord reveal your Love to the nations, let people see how much you heart breaks for them and wants them to KNOW YOU… Unveil their eyes and their hearts, so they my see you and hear your sweet voice… that their hearts can truly grasp your goodness and AMAZING love towards them. I thank you that you are fighting for each and everyone of them to come to know you, and I pray that you will not relent that you will continue to fight for each and everyone of their hearts… cause once they get just one little glimps of your love towards them. I believe they won’t be able to help themselves, but to fall at your feet at worship you. I pray that you these words would be yours and that you would would reveal you love to many through these words and that they can see you grace and mercy for them. That they can have a heart understanding of the Cross and your love behind the message of the cross. Let them see you in Jesus name I pray.
