God calls us!
I was reading my devotions this morning from a book I received while I was volunteering with Samaritans Purse/Operation Christmas Child. I will be using many of my ideas from a chapter of this book- "All For Jesus," by Franklin Graham
God calls us! He wants us to have a life worthy to his call and we need to want to have a desire to serve him. Once we do His will is when we are truly happy. One thing I have been struggling personally with is that when God calls you he doesn't forget about you. He loves you and has a perfect plan for your life. As I was reading this chapter it was saying how when God calls us we have times of waiting.
How many of you have a hard time waiting? Especially when you have to do things you really are not wanting to do in the meantime.
Well, I feel this is what is happening in my life. I know God called me to missions work and it is hard to sit back and wait for the time to come when Jonatan and I can be full-time missionaries. So I was thinking God, why do we have to wait? In this time of confusion and complaining with God I was touched with something is book said.
In this time of waiting in our life we have to DELIGHT God. He wants us to know that we trust Him. It is so easy to complain and worry but God knows what he is doing.
We always have to remember that God is teaching us. He wants to mold us into His image and he is putting us through trails to see how we react. Remember God is on our side and will help us go through all we have to go through in our life. JUST TRUST HIM.
And that is what we are doing in our lives.
Many people may have questions about why we are not leaving now to go to the Amazon. God is molding us and using us now to accomplish things here in the US before we make our move. We hope it will not be much longer.

We are happy to have had Gonzalo visit us this past week. During this time Jonatan and Gonzalo came together (with others) to form many documents for MiSion/Agua y Vida. We also sent in our application for the non-profit status. We are excited to start getting all organized and in place!
