I hate Bugs

Okay so WOW!!!!!!!!!!! It's been a while since I updated. I tried to about 3 days ago but my computer froze and I lost everything I wrote, making me frustrated, but here I am back again. Well as you can tell by the title I've had some interesting experiences with insects lately and the worst have been in the bathroom in the stall. The first was the viewing of a moth about 6 inches long just sitting on the wall, and so I fled. Before I tell the second encounter I would like to say thank you to God that I don't sit down on public bathroom toilets b/c the second encounter was the sighting of a roach crawling from the bowl onto the toilet sit while I was peeing. That just straight up freaked me out and again I fled but this time there was a small scream, not loud though. So yea, I hate bugs and I'm trying to love all of God's creatures but I must admit at times I wish they didn't exist.
Well onto what is really important, as usual since it is His charachter, God has been faithful and I was blessed with an assurance of his faithfulness this week. I went to eat at La Princessa, the best Tacos in Cuernavaca with some friends, and I don't have much money but I decided to treat myself, but at the end one of the guys paid for everyone. In an instant I was just filled with this overwhelming peace that everything was going to be okay. It was as though God was saying, "See Maya, I told you I had everything under control, I will bless you and you will be able to enjoy yourself, b/c I'm with you and I love you." It seems like such a small thing but this free meal was such a blessing in so many ways b/c it touched my heart and soul. I needed that assurance and it came at the perfect time.
Well I don't know how many might know by now but I am no longer in my study abroad program b/c I ran out of money, so that means that I had to move out of my current house with a wonderful and amazing mexican family, and find somewhere else to live. Well as I am writing this I am sitting in my new location. I was hooked up to live with this women who I met at the church I attend. Honestly this was completely organized by Christ, b/c she lives by herself and has been living by herself for some time and she has been praying for sometime for God to send her someone to live with and talk with, and in popped me. I think it's amazing to be on the other side of the prayer, when you are the answer, it's literally amazing and it just opens up a new facet of Christ and his powerful, abundant love for us. Just maybe this was one of the reasons my financial situation didn't work out how I planned, so that I would have to move, so that I could bless someone who deserves to be blessed. This woman is sooooooo unbelievable sweet and humble, I know that the Lord wants to teach me a mountain load through her and my heart is humbled every moment I'm here, Christ is holy and amazing.
One of my other many prayer requests was to find some sort of job, and by the grace of Christ, I have a job interview on Monday for the opportunity to be an English teacher at a language university. This is completely in God's hands, so please pray. But still even this blows my mind, God has guided me by the hand and he hasn't let me go, no he hasn't let me go.
Lastly, I must admit that one day of this week I was seriously down b/c I was hungering for love just a hug and desperately desired to talk to my girls in Cleveland. I just couldn't take the almost all male interaction anymore, but the Lord answered my prayer and touched my heart, and I truly felt loved. It was as though he gave me a hug b/c I really wanted to be hugged.
Honestly I think that might be the end of my update, I can't think of anything else, except Christ is always speaking I just need to be patient, dwell at his feet, and listen.
HOP-Cuernavaca shout out, the guys there are excellent and truly a blessing from God.
P.S. My cleveland peeps and family don't think I forgot about you b/c you are always in my heart. Love is something that extends past boundaries and territory lines, it is always present, always feeling, and always wanting to give and be shared.
Genesis 15:1b "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward."
