July 25

Happy Birthday Mom!!! 25 years!! haha. Today 3 new groups came. Granger community church is huge so we split them into two groups. so it is actually 4 groups. We have a total of about 80 group members this week! We had a pool party with MdA, VdJ, and Bethesda today!!! The kids had a blast swimming and the groups had fun!!!! Vita cooked Tacos for everyone. It was a lot of Tacos haha. very good though!!! I think I have actually gained weight down here Vita feeds us soo well!! haha. This morning we did alot of prep for the groups. I did some electrical work in the girls dorm where a couple of lights went bad. I checked all the transformers and changed a couple. One of the big lights was a pain. I had no light, just a dinky flashlight, and I was having all kinds of problems. I changed the transformer and it didnt work, I thought I switched a Wire and that didnt work so I switched it back, Its Mexico so the color of the wire never means it it is the hot or white. ahhh it was driving me nuts. So after about 30 min, I Finally figured out that I replaced the wrong transformer. Ugh!! It was crazy!! It was a great challenge though and it was good to see how it applies to my life. That getting frustrated never solves the problems, and that when I relaxed and trusted God, my answer came and I was able to fix it. I think that alot of times I struggle with not receiving an answer from God, but when I say I am relax or that I truly trust him, I am just telling my self that so I can get an answer. But he is way to clever!!! He is a God that is nothing like us humans. Thats why hes God and I am clueless haha. What I am really trying to say is that really showing God you trust him takes more than Just telling yourself you do and and trying to make yourself believe. I find that when I am truly patient, which is not easy for me, that I find God revealing many things, but it is with full faith and confidence that his word is what is truly best for me. I can truly say that I trust God in whatever he brings to me. I struggle with this many times, just because it is that true Faith that takes us to God, and as humans we are all sinful. Thats just the nature we are. But we have a God that forgives us, and Loves us no matter what or who we are. That trusting him is radical! But....Thats what God wants. Trusting in him and becoming a better me because of it. Whether times are rough, things dont go the way you want, you dont get a Job, a part in the play, an internship, or when a transformer just wont work, or when God seems like the farthest thing from Life, hes there, and trusting him is just as easy as checking to see if you changed the right transformer. I find I struggle many times by this, but it is reminding myself and continuing to pray for Gods guidance in not just some of my life, but in every decision I make. I challenge you as I challenge my self in fully trusting that what God has in store for us is fully his plan and that even when we feel it makes no complete sense, or just truly sucks, he is eternal and what he has for us is far greater than we could ever imagine!
