PRAISE GOD!



Wow what a week! Wait it is only Wednesday!
I always seem to be standing in awe of God and His amazing love and provision with us! I just read a book called Grace and Truth by Randy Alcorn! It is so true without one the other one can not exist! The TRUTH came to earth and gave us GRACE! This week God showed us how important it is to walk in truth and show grace! Sunday was one of those days when I was in so much pain I did not feel like loving on others! Of course I knew that would mean that those hard to love people would fill my day!

Monday I was able to spend some amazing time with a few different women of God who I just love! Watching one of the women getting her hair permed and the other one working with love. Sometimes just a few minutes in the presence of a few Godly women will bless your socks off! I also was able to spend a few hours with an amazing sister in Christ while Paulino and his brother in law did some work on the women’s shelter. We were able to plan out Tuesdays outreach with 30 youth we had about 50 families from our immediate area from the youngest to the oldest residents receiving food despensas (bags of beans and rice and such)! Some bags included very annoying whistles! We were so blessed to have the group of college students from Canada come and love on our neighborhood! The drime preached the truth and grace of God without words! Then the leader who Praise God speaks fluent Spanish was able to explain it and I began to cry as I heard so many praying the prayer of salvation! After the drama each youth was able to pray individually for each mother! Balloon animals and jump rope were a hit with the big and little kids! Tomorrow the team is coming back to build an outhouse for a neighbor, go to the dump to feed the hungry and help build our fence since the supplies for the house are now being delivered!
Today Wednesday we feed the kids rice that God blessed us with and scrambled ostrich egg! There was a man who came to eat with us but he was happy with rice tacos and cheese.  He started to make a list of what he did not eat and I wanted to say do not worry this is not any of those animals haha but then I did not want the kids to know what they were eating until they liked it and they actually did like it!
Before breakfast we had a visit from the man who is going to pour the concrete floor for our house and my mother in law’s house! We are so blessed that the groups coming are going to build us a house on the other half of the property they are going to build my mother in law a single home. The week before Jose celebrates his 15th birthday he will be given the best gift of all! A house that will have a bathroom and bedroom built for him and his wheelchair! AND his grandmother (who raised him) is living near us! Our house will have a ramp for his wheelchair so he and his gramma can go in and out! We are having an indoor bathroom and Lord willing indoor plumbing. The septic tank will be dug later and for now our other kids will use an outhouse we will build outside!
I personally am so happy my baby will actually have a home when she is born.  God is amazing in His perfect time and sending the people who He wants to build our house!

You Know You´re Poor if...



Ok ok just thinking over being poor.
A little bit of funny humor that may be offensive!
You know you are poor when your dog goes to church with you because you can not afford a fence! Worse yet between the walk from church to the house the dog stops at the fishermans house and rolls in his pile of discards then goes and sits near the pastor while she is trying to preach at the front of the church.
You know you are poor when you think your neighbors pigs stink or maybe you need a septic tank and are truly not sure if both are not correct.
You know you are poor when all of your English students notebooks fly away because they only had a few pages anyways and you have class outside on a table because your trailer has no space!
You know you are poor when you go to turn on the water and then think it does not come out because you did not pay the bill or because there is no water supply today!
You know you are poor when you think rice and beans is a complete meal when you put chilis and onions for vegetables!
You know you are poor when the radio is too expensive to plug in so you listen to an ipod mini that you can charge while online at the internet café!
You know you are poor when you look for 50 cents on the ground to pay your 30 minutes on the internet!
You know you are poor when the discussion every few days is how to heat bath water and which is more expensive! Gas, Electric or going to find fire wood (gas in a car).
You know you are poor when you take your son to the zoo which is actually a walk to look at the neighbors ostrich and saint bernards!
You know you are rich when every kid in the neighborhood wants to eat at your house because you eat two meals a day and better yet they just want to be there because Jesus lives in and through you!

You know you are poor if... Photos of Jose

HUGE PRAISE REPORT!
Today is trash day and Bernardo who many of you have seen my post to pray for, was working on the trash truck. He is Paulino Martinez Roque best friend and has stopped using drugs but alcohol seems to keep him tied. A few weeks ago we took him everywhere with us, even took him to get a social security card so he could get work. Then the other night at 10PM he came over drunk and needed a place to sleep, my thought was we really need a fence, Paulino ran to get a sleeping bag and using some of our plywood made a tent to protect him. Talked to him until he passed out and then at 5AM he announced he was getting up and going to work! Well we are praising God that he has work and praying he will choose to walk with Jesus!

Please pray for Mrs. White and her family. Last Sunday they were praying for a church to go to close to home. On  Monday the pastor and I were doing door to door evangelism and invited her to church the daughter almost cried.  Pray God provides ALL of their needs she is a single mom.

Please pray for Mrs. Brown a very good friend and neighbor to Mrs. white she is basically a single mom because her husband is alcoholic. Her leg is fractured and she needs Jesus to heal her. Please pray God will provide all of her needs!

Have you ever had one of those days when you just finished Elementary school English class and you are getting ready to feed 50 people. Then for some dump reason you go to the internet to fight with paypal of why they are not transfering your money that you need right now! The enemy reminds you that you are not good enough to love on these people. AND then you remind him of his future!
