Deep Breath

Tonight was my first deep breath since well...about 2 weeks ago. This past week our Carnaval outreach started. We saw many people come to know Jesus as their Savior and it was just so amazing! God was really moving in ways I've never seen before. But now that all the preparation, work, and clean up is done I can take a deep breath. We get the next couple days off. What a blessing. But back to Carnaval outreach. We had 5 ministries within our outreach; a cafe, beauty salon, Remnant (skate ministry), evangelism team, and intercession team. Our cafe and beauty salon ministries were completely free and a way to bless the people we wanted to share God's love with. Remnant really flew this week with more skaters showing up than ever and holding the biggest skate competition in Mazatlan! That's what you call setting the pace for the world. Our evangelism team went into the actual festival of Carnaval every night always coming back with great stories of God's glory and people asking to know Jesus. Then there is our intercession team. I helped lead the intercession team this year and it was so great! God led us into the festival multiple times among many other places to pray over the people going into the gates and partying. He really guided our prayers and spoke to us so clearly.

I'm realizing what God is calling me to right now. I'm realizing that God has called me to be ready and willing to go anywhere anytime but to also view this as a permanent calling until He says otherwise. That is just how my life is and I think it's just going to always be that way. I think this is a good lifestyle for me since one of my main strengths is adaptability. Pretty much I just love to move around a lot...most of you know that already. At the same time it's hard viewing everything as a permanent calling, it's definitely stretching.

It's intriguing to me to see pieces to my life puzzle being put together or random pieces being revealed. I'm really just blown away by the things God is placing in front of my. I'm back to feeling as though I have the world at my fingertips but with a whole new perspective that focuses more on the reality side. It's not just a dream, God has called me to travel the World to share His heart and I have every intention of doing that.

One last note from the week. There is nothing that can melt my heart like the laughter of a child. Last night we had tacos to give to those that had given their lives to Christ this week and a family came in very scared and timid. I got to sit with them after worship and their 2 little children just blessed my heart so deeply. There was such fear in their eyes but such longing to be touched. I got to play with their son and to hear him laugh just touched my heart so overwhelmingly. What a blessing to impart into a child's life just by playing with them, tickling them, holding them, and just being a kid with them.

Love and Blessings.
