The time has come that I get sent back into the war zone. Don’t get me wrong the spiritual warfare is all around us but sometimes the biggest battles are you town and your house. The lord has prepared me and is sending me off to now test what I have learned. The feeling is scary and Satan is ready to attack, but this morning I read something really encouraging in the word. As if the Lord knew what I was going to fear eventually. I read John 10:28, 29 which says
“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.”
This brought so much comfort to my heart! It reminds me of the song by MC Hammer “Can’t touch this” and that is so the truth. Satan can’t come near me unless I allow him! How awesome is that. Just think about how big Jesus’ hands and think even about how big God’s hands are. I mean they created everything we see and more. They are the very hands that hold me! I am so thankful for such a powerful God and such a loving son. I also read today in quiet time in John that He chose to lay his life out for us and no one took his life from him. With those things being said I feel safe and so much more. He takes all our fears and failures and fills our life again with so much better things that you feel so stupid to even be afraid but without a doubt it is a challenge that Christ calls us to do. It is honestly not like he is asking us to do something he didn’t.
Well with that being said looking on the brighter side I am very happy to be on my way home at 9 am tom.! I had a great final night here in Argentina! We had a Girl Only “Dance Party!” but shhh because some people think jumping around and waving your hands in the air some people consider a SIN. I must say I don’t feel that conviction because I am sure David jammed out in praise of the Lord and he was the man after God’s own heart! With that off my chest… we had so much fun! Alyssa had her techno and all the girls brought their awesome moves…well what I consider awesome and crazy lol. Rosemary jammed out in her dreams. Personally I am surprised that we didn’t wake her. Alison, Natalie, Val, Danielle, Alyssa, Niki and me got bored with our moves so we started to invent moves based on the guys in our PBB group. I personally think someone needed to video it. We ate raisins, chocolates, peanuts and I bought the girls 3 lit bottle of coke. I think it is safe to say we had a lot of energy. We ended the night with prayer and I had a tear or to cuz I am really going to miss these girls so much! I am so thankful for God putting these divine relationships in my life, esp. with girls! I know that whenever I need to talk and no matter where we are in the world we are there praying and ready to listen to each other. I remember last night in my dream I had my hands in the air and I screamed “I am the most blessed girl in the entire world!” This has been the best experience of my life and even though I am only going to be away for 3 weeks I am going to miss these girls so much and these 3 weeks will feel so much longer and harder without them but I know I also have a family in my church who has been praying for me and can’t wait to see me! The bottom line His grace is enough for me and His mercy brings a tear to my eye! I don’t deserve any of this and he continues to provide just because he simply loves me. I know I wrote a lot but if I could help 1 soul or encourage 1 person this was completely worth every second! Like I said before I leave here at 6pm my plain leaves at 10pm n I get home at 9am! Pray for me and save journeys! Continue to keep the other stuff in prayer as well. Time to finish to pack :( TTUL (talk to you later… for those who didn’t get that :) )
