Happy Brazilian Father's Day!

    These days have been quite interesting. Nothing really happening but God is moving. I might have the opportunity to join the worship team at my church. God is working in my personal life as I'm trying to be more like Him. I got officially added to the group chat of my small group so I get more information with the church activities and devotionals. I would like to share it with you all. 

    "For God to be complete, He does not need what we can offer Him;  nor our sacrifices of praise and worship to have joy and be happy;  He does not need expressions of love to feel loved, because He is love itself (I John 4.8).  Before creating us, He already existed in His fullness and was complete with the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Perfect in unity, They partake of an eternal fullness.  Together They are the fullness in all things, including all worship, joy and rejoicing.  This is the reason for thinking that the Father does not seek worship, since worship fills all of heaven.  The prophet Isaiah says: “I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.’” (Isaiah 6.1-3).  The heavens are filled with worship, God is looking for children to worship him."
    I hope this encourages you and help you meditate on our Father in Heaven. 

    I haven't been doing much aside from helping Bella with her school. We did go to the beach on Sunday with everyone as it was Father's Day. It was nice because we have a house parent here that is like a father to the boys here at Hope Mountain. So it was really crucial for him to have us all there to appreciate all his hard work and love for us all.

Adjusting Once Again

Image
     The Americans left 2 days ago. There were many tears shed including mine. I’ve only known them for 10 days and they are already family to me. I really felt like I was ministered by these lovely, faithful and pure-hearted disciples of Jesus. They are a gift from God and a demonstration of His love for all of us. For me personally, I felt that through this American team God was trying to say that He loves me and cares about me. He knows that I feel lonely in Brazil. He knows that I battle with anxious, helpless, frustrating and depressing thoughts. So He gifted me a dog 3 months ago. He gave me the chance to go to California a month and a half ago. And how He blessed me with the team that felt like family.       I not only received their love, care and prayers, but through their visit, I got the chance to see Hope Unlimited in a full scope. I never had the chance to visit boys who graduated from the program, see how they are doing, and pray for them. I saw transformed lives and live

Amazing Birthday Weekend

Something I've Never Wished For NO ONE has seen God at any time. But if we LOVE one another [with unselfish concern] , God ABIDES in us, and HIS LOVE [the love that is His essence abides in us and] is COMPLETED and PERFECTED in us.  1 John 4:12     Lots of things has happened and I should've blogged earlier but here I am now. I will share with you every blessing that has happened in the past few weeks.      First, IT WAS THANKSGIVING!!!!!! We had lovely friends from Indiana that came to visit us and we prepared a HUGE Thanksgiving dinner for all the boys and volleyball girls. We invited everyone we could! And we had a blessed time. It was really hard to practice self-control as we had mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, sweet potatoes and marshmallows, pumpkin pies, apple crumble, vanilla ice cream and the more! I did eat more than I should've but I had great fun with everyone.      Then we headed to Sao Paulo, a different State, for the Taylor Swift concert. In

A very WARM Christmas

 It's... beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Christmas trees gladly wore the colorful lights of happiness, Joyful noises fill the small plaza spreading cheer here and there. Behind the glamorous decorations, There's somebody who's at the end of their rope, But they don't know they are not alone, His name is Prince of Peace His name is Emmanuel, the God who is with us.  His name is El Roi, the God who sees.     I know I'm a little behind on blogging but I'll make it up to you guys. Christmas season was tough, not gonna lie. Yes, I missed my family. Yes, I missed being in Germany. But it was stressful because of how busy I was. I don't know how Aunt Corenne and the family can do this every year. Christmas is a BIG deal. When I mean BIG. I mean BIG . When I really thought about it, I don't mind it being BIG because I get why it needed to be BIG. These boys and lots of visitors that we had don't really have the opportunity to receive so much. So it&#
