Our Providing God

There is so so much that has gone on these last couple of months, I dont know how I could ever sum it up in a short blog. I've slept on concrete floors, the wooden benches of boats, random peoples' hammocks, worn church floors, and outside under the jungle stars, and I've loved every second of it! I've made many new friends and grown exponentially more than I thought I could in two months time. I've learned more in Peru than years of schooling could ever teach me. Best of all, I've seen God...

Miracles

Shortly before coming to Peru I wondered if I would even be able to go due to finances. But… God pulled a miracle on me and provided the money for me to go. I actually spoke about this in Iquitos during our first few days here. I spoke about the sparrow. How not one of them will fall without God knowing. If he takes care of sparrows, how much more will he take care of us? I want to direct your attention to another time when God provided: five loaves and two fish multiplied and fed thousands. And there were a lot of leftovers! This happened with our team, except with chicken and rice...

That title is so true. We are told this almost every day of our lives. But do you really believe it? I didn´t, but now I do. Here are a few things that we´ve gone without here in Peru: Beds Running water Communication Privacy Personal space Electricity These are just a few things. But we went without so much more than that. I learned on this trip that I am so spoiled in America. We have so much and we take it for granted. I´m not saying that it´s bad to have everything that we have, it´s just bad to take it for granted. God has taught me to be grateful for everything… Including...

The sun came up, and the sun went down; just like any other day. Nothing in the natural realm set the day of which I am writing apart from any other day. It was by all appearances a normal day, well, as normal goes for twenty some Americans in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. Our definition of normal is drastically different than when we got on a plane two months ago. The place was Castaña. The Lord has been unleashing a crazy amount of freedom in all of us, freedom to live by His Spirit, under the new covenant. Hes been teaching each of us what it really looks like to live this...

Stripped

Truth that leads to freedom is Stripped Stripped of trappings Stripped of presentation Stripped of eloquence Stripped of ingenuineness It is raw It is honest It is real It is as fresh as water on bare skin It is as raw as the calloused carpenter¨s hands Peel away, layer by layer down to the core where truth is Exposed for all to see Freedom pulses through each vein of this Stripped, Exposed truth. I find myself in a raw place right now, with 2 months of Amazon trekking in hindsight. God keeps stripping me of my layers. I found a lot of comfort...
