A Clear View

Sometimes I wonder what it would truly be like to see through God's eyes. What would it be like to love the undeserving so unconditionally? How do you see an unjust situation and not find someone to judge? I understand that God is the ultimate judge but right now through the covenant of Jesus Christ all God sees is His Son. One of my favorite speakers (and good friend of mine) puts it bluntly and explains that we need to see each other and treat each other as though we see Jesus. To love each other with a respect and caring heart. What a challenge...though I am convicted to do this to the best of my ability I am realizing right now that the only way to do this is to spend more time with Jesus Himself. How do we see Jesus in others when we don't the detail of His character and heart. He loved us so deeply He truly gave up everything. Can you imagine interacting with someone with such a huge heart? Such an unconditional love? What revelation it would be to simply know someone like that...let alone have a beautiful relationship! I consider myself unbelievably blessed and completely blown away. I am so thankful for the way God is opening up my eyes right now.

In news about my life, there are a lot of things coming up in the very near future. One of my best friends getting married in September, a seminar in WA state this month, a family cruise in November, my roommates wedding in BC, Canada in late October...the list will probably go on forever as these things just keep popping up. Life seems to never slow down and I also seem to not be staying healthy. I still have no clue what is wrong with me! But it is all in God's hands. I trust Him fully with my life and my health comes with that.

My new position is going beautifully! I get to work with one of my dearest friends every day and it is such a blessing to be able to get input from the wisdom God has provided her. We not only get a ton of work done but God has blessed me with being able to process different things that He is teaching me and growing me in every day life.

The biggest lesson I could ever learn right now is about His grace and how deep His love goes. No matter what I could ever do or even think about doing He has already covered it! This is something that we all know...but for me it is truly clicking right now. I am understanding that love on a whole new level! It is so excited for me because I feel like there is a whole new world to view through these opened eyes. God is just so good to me.

Prayer Items:
Supporters- Since I am going to be starting a new year here (August starts my next term) my supporters are done with their season of giving to me and have chosen to not keep supporting me. I respect that a lot and know that they are going to be blessed so much for giving so generously. But I am now needing more support.
One time gifts- For the next few months I have many things to do outside of Mexico (fore mentioned events) and I need air fare and ways to pay for these things. Since support is my income this is the only way I have to pay for these things.
Health- Though I went home to get better this didn't necessarily happen. We eliminated quite a few possibilities and I actually started feeling a little better until now, while I am back in Mexico. I also know that traveling so much in the next few months is going to be hard on my body as well. But God is bigger than the bacteria that keep making me sick.
Rest- I need rest but I haven't been able to sleep much at all. (this could have something to do with me not feeling good all the time)

Please be praying with me about these things. Sometimes it is just easier when you know those you love are praying with you.

Love you all and good night.
