What I am learning!

What an incredible busy week it has been. So much material to teach on in only a weeks time. My internet connection is not what I had originally thought it would be. For me to get service means going to town to an internet café or going to the one on base (only opens from 6-9pm and dinner is at 7pm). Updates will be determined on a week to week basis because each week the available free time with change. For example when we are in Santiago for the 30th reunion of the ywam bases in Chile it is uncertain if I will or will not get to a computer.

God is showing me the importance of trusting in him for all my needs. Things I thought were so important like having internet all the time I am finding don’t matter as much as I had thought. Worship here is so honest and sincere. It is hard not knowing many of the songs, not understanding the language and not being able to sing along to most of the songs. God is teaching me how it is not always the words that matter, but rather the heart attitude. The song “When the music fades” has been sung two times now and each time I hear it I take joy in knowing that sing or not singing it is my heart that matter to God.
We have had many questions asked of us this week “What is the most important thing in my life?” “Where do I come from?” “Who do I live for?” “Who am I?” “What am I good for?” “Why do I build walls in my life?” “What is it that I know?” “How do I know this?” and many more questions. The astonishing thing is that when we are honest and answer these questions we see how much we allow the world to shape us rather than God. We see how much of our life we still hold as our own. I have been blown away with the opinions that I held toward God. The life that I live for myself rather than him.
