Daughter of the King
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
Today is the 24 of October. How on earth does time go by so fast. It's almost November!! (Which means it's almost my birthday, by the way) I can not believe how fast everything is going by, before I know it I will be back in Canada. Which is super exciting but really sad. I am gonna miss it out here so much! I don't want to go home yet, just so you guys know.
The week ahead will definitely be an interesting one. Clarissa's mom (my Aunt) and my cousin Shayla (Clarissa's niece) came down this last Monday and will be staying till next week Friday or so. They came because Clarissa and Brian are going down to Mexico city for about a week. (What they are doing, I am not sure). They are leaving this Saturday. So now my job will be to homeschool the boys. So we'll see how that adventure goes. Oh speaking of adventures. Last weekend Clarissa, Brian, and Leah had left for Phoenix to pick up my Aunt and Shayla, so we had the house to ourselves. (well, me, Patty, Melissa, Cole and Mason) Anyways, last Friday we were having a movie night. And of course for any movie you need popcorn. Well, we needed butter for our popcorn (obviously) but we were out. So me and Cole were going to take Patty's car and quickly go down to Santa Fe and pick up some Mantequilla (butter). All was good, we arrived at the store, went in, got our butter, paid for the butter, walked outside, and got in the car. But then we I tried to start the car, of course, It wouldn't start. (For some reason though, I did have an unacknowledged feeling beforehand something would happen to us)(if that makes any sense) Anyways, I tried a few times and nothing happened. So what do we do? We didn't have a phone, and even if I would have asked to borrow somebody's phone I wouldn't have known the number at all to call Patty. So what me and Cole ended up doing was walking all the way home in the dark. (I often hear it isn't good to walk in Mexico at night, but I feel we live in a pretty safe area, well I wasn't worried at all at least.) It really wasn't that far if you plan on going for a walk, but we didn't really plan on this, and plus we had to walk uphill for lots of it. Oh well, I was actually kind of pleased that this had happened though. Finally I got some adventure! And Agustin wasn't getting Patty's texts, so her car was stuck at Santa Fe the whole weekend. So yeah, lot's of little things have happened since the last time I posted. But I am gonna leave some just so I have stuff to tell when I get back home. (and I don't feel like writing them right now) Oh, I have some exciting news though! Yesterday we got the official name for our orphanage! So excited! It feels like we are getting a move on. I hope we can get more kids into our house soon! And one more excited thing. This will be more exciting for me than for you. My mom sent along some gifts for me along with my Auntie Angie, so know I have Fuzzy Peaches, Sour Cherry Blasters, Life Saver Gummies, a Spanish/English Bibles (so pumped), and a card for my birthday that I can't open until my birthday. (Rats.) I am so tempted to open it already!! But I won't, I do have self control. And I got a cellphone, it's just a cheap one I can use for those times that go out on my own. Melissa got one to. We call it the shy phone because it is one step below the iPhone. :P And, as for what God has been showing me. One, that I need him for everything. Two, I need to spend a lot more time with him and in his word. Three, how important prayer is. The subject of prayer has been on my heart a lot recently. The thought that we are coming before the king of the universe is actually really crazy. Why has it become something so mundane. It's like we pray before meals just so that we can eat, it's just a step we take so we can enjoy the food. Or we are more focused on the words we are saying and not who we are talking to. I long for prayer in groups where it isn't just us talking. Where we present our requests and praise, but we also leave room for God to respond and to simply rest in his presence acknowledging that he is there and that he is with us. Where we can speak truth to each other and pray for each other. I just have a picture of us being in communion with God. Where we are one big family and God is a part of it. Sometimes it seems as though we come before God tell him what we want and what we are thankful for (which is very good, don't get me wrong), but then we leave right aways. Well, those are just a few of my thoughts. I am finding it hard to get the rest of my thoughts into words. Also another thing God had shown me just today was that there are things that only the Holy Spirit can reveal to us. And they can not come by explaining or our understanding but only by revelation. So there will be things that you will be able to understand but other people will not. And things that other people will be able to understand and you will not. But God's timing is perfect, and he reveals things to us when we are ready. So yeah, that's what I've been thinking about. It's kind of cool though that God never stops revealing things to us. I can't wait to see the things he's gonna show me down the road. Thank you again for reading, and for your prayers. Know you are loved. oh and of course. Pictures! Oh and more thing that God has told me. He told me this a while back, I don't know why I haven't shared earlier. (Maybe I did, I don't know) Anyways, this is it. The only reason that we exist is so that we can be in relationship with God. That is the only reason we are breathing. We exist so we can fall in love with God. Doesn't that just make everything else seem so unimportant.
