As some of you know, I broke my right foot!! I’ve been in crutches for the past 3 weeks! It definitely has been a learning process of being still and knowing that He is God and He is in control! God slowed down my pace and I noticed I wasn’t drinking in the Spirit. Things will collapse if we pretend we can do it on our strength. I love how God won’t let us get too ahead of ourselves! So our Saturday get-togethers are on hold, as well as my soccer team, but I still remain in contact with them, so it’s just a different side of the ministry. This has allowed me to focus more on the soccer camp, to contact other churches so we can plan more work with them.
Like I told you, we are planning a soccer camp the second week of December, things got stuck a little bit with the church we were doing this with, and now they asked us if we could still do it but around April next year. I was tempted to get discouraged, but I was in so much peace, and something in me urged me to still do something even if it wasn’t with that church. The missionary couple felt the same way, so we are still not completely clear on how exactly it will all turn out. It’s hard not to get frustrated because we only have a week to organize this, but we trust that God has it all under his perfect time!
Please pray for guidance on this, and for God to place the right people, and that we are able to minister to whoever He chooses! One of the ideas that I am very excited to do, is to bring the kids from an orphanage and do the camp for them. I would absolutely love to do this! So we shall see all the details for that to take place, like the provision of money and volunteers and transportation of all the kids from the orphanage! It was a complete answer to prayer that we got 3 soccer fields for free, so we definitely want to use them!
Another idea is to do it with a different church, but since time is not our friend right now, it’s hard for a church to jump in the project with so little time. The good side of this, is that even if we don’t get a church involved for the second week of December, one of my goals is to start preparing the people, the Ambassadors team that can continue to do this ministry in the future with the other churches.
This month has been such a blessing, it’s amazing to see how God can use even a broken foot for his glory. It’s been a great excuse for people to come visit me, so I’ve had more opportunities to love on people. I’ve spent more time here in my house, loving on my family, which has been amazing! Not to mention the great lesson of receiving! It’s been such a humbling process, to learn to receive, and to see how people feel blessed to give!
Thank you so much for your prayers and your constant support! I can see God’s hand preparing me in so many levels for Spain, the more I spent time with my family and friends, and how open and free it is here to talk about God and minister to people, the more I feel a burden to bring that to Spain, that they can see truly see and know our beautiful Lord!
