Man.. to say that these past 3 weeks has been eventful—that would be an understatement. God has really been moving in my life lately, here’s some of of the many things I’ve learned recently -Over Indulgence In the United States we get so worried about having more, that we miss out on the Joy of desiring less. When I was in Mexico helping build a house for a family in poverty, I saw how little the people lived with there. They barely had enough to eat today, yet they were still joyful. But we Americans get stressed and worried when we can’t figure out what to eat tomorrow. In the Bible, God says that we only need to desire him, and he will provide for us (give us today our daily bread.) When we worry about the future, we worry that God won’t provide, and he always will. The same God that provided Mana to the Israelites, is the same God that still provides for us now. -Patience and Contentment is a mindset. Recently, while working with 8 year olds for 12 hours a day, I have been really close to breaking down with stress at many moments, but because I know that God is with me, God provides me strength to stay strong, and in return I grow in my faith and patience. If I let the craziness of this Job stress me out, then it would. But if I trust in God and ask him for patience, he will provide it. -God is moving everywhere The same God that is performing miracles around the world, is the same God that provides love for us at summer camp, he’s the same God that split the Red Sea, and he’s also the same God that lives within you. He is infinitely powerful, and as long as you invite him into your heart, read his word, and pray to him constantly, he will provide for you. So that even when times are hard, he will always be next to you, and all you have to do is call on him.
