I covet your prayers as I seek God´s direction for my life. Many times I feel overwhelmed by the decisions I am confronting. Please join me in praying that God will increase my faith and grow me. That He will specifically guide me in the direction He would have me go. Thankyou.

Dreams

Yenifer, Yesenia, and I in Lautaro, Chile May 2nd, 2011

I want to share a bit of a reflection that I wrote in March after hearing a great sermon about our dreams in life.  Scott Wallace preached about how God gives us dreams and we build those dreams on our faith. That faith in greek means truces, like truces that hold up a bridge. Its firm, what sustains the bridge. He also gave the example of a man rock climbing. . .  this is what I wrote in processing the message...

¨He (the man rock climbing) isn´t worried about falling. He isn´t worried about the wind or time; with his hands gripped tightly in the grooves of the rock (the side of our Saviour) and his eyes scouring the face of the rock for the next hand hold (as we look intently into the face of our Saviour to know Him and be like him). There is no fear, just trust and concentration. The Rock won´t fall. The Cliff doesn´t budge. God stays the same and we must cling to Him. We must trust and climb. He is GOD! When we climb- may we climb high. Not fearing the ground beneath us. If we jump, may we spread out our arms, a goofy smile plastered on our faces in exhilaration of freefalling. Completley trusting in His love. Spinning circles - arms weightless, sun-kissed face up towards the blue sky. Embracing our Lord. Dancing with our Saviour. Following His lead as He spins us so delicately and tenderly on the dancefloor of green grass that He created. Walking barefoot on the pearl laden beach and feeling the rushing power of the waves. I am. I am the rock. Run to the cliff, cling on to Me for your life. Dance with me. Laugh with me. Run with Me. Play. Sing. Grow. Jump. Live with me. Dare to dream. I will carry you. Do you trust me? Soar with me. I can show you the world but do you trust me enough to get on the magic carpet? Do you hear Him?
