simplicity, surrender and silence

WOW is all I have to say. This time here is way more challenging than I thought it ever would be. I guess I mean in a personal an d spiritual sense. It is so simple really, "humble thyselves under HIs mighty hand, and He will lift you up" yeah right if it wereonly that easy....but it is. SIMPLICITY there are struggles and needs everywhere but learning to lean on His promises and silence the indignation I feel towards circumstances...this is tough. But in that silence there is obedience and in that there is TRUST. Ultimately I believe I am being called to a greater level of surrender that it is not about me, and all things will be clear when i rest in His hand.

Today I watched as about 1000 people young and old worshiped and cried out shouting for God's presence. It was amazing to see young boys, grown men and women whose hearts are longing to find God. And you know what? They could care less what anyone else was thinking or how they looked.
Oyte (listen) when you need a breakthrough and need life to change in a serious way, you have to yearn and hunger for it....it doesn't even matter who's lookin! Today, I realized that all things are made to draw us closer to Him, in joy and despair....WOW I wish you all could see but taking a picture would have ruined the sight. I (yes me!) am truly speechless.

I feel a new motivation to listen and watch like I am at a post for a time and in order to move to the next stage of the journey I must gain from this station. Mostly by watching and then moving! I will be asking the missionary this week or next to have a meeting and discuss how to start up a new center in an area of need. i am hoping to share with her my pla and see what hte procedures will be and where the greatest area of need is. She has the ability through her organization, to provide some fundng for this type of project! So pray for that!

Also this week I met achristian man in the computer place, and we had a great chat and then I met one in the publico and we chatted too. God is moving here! Its cool to watch so I better not be distracted! ok to my peeps in the US keep up the prayer and after to learn to fight, learn to soften and trust! love yall jaime
pray for the treatment of children around te world and pray for missions and chrits church team whose coming in 2 weeks. read Isaiah 58.
