I´m back

Primero perdoname si pongo cosas en español porque ahora es mas dificil escribir en íngles porque pienso mucho en Español de hecho sueño en Español aveces. Pues ahora en íngles. (Firstly, forgive me if I put some things in spanish becasue now it´s more difficult to write in English becasue I think in Spanish a lot, in fact I dream in Spanish sometimes.)

HELLOOOOOOOOOOO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! I know that it has been a century since my last post or even email to any of you, but as you all should know my computer died and I just recently got a new one, an ACER!!!!!! SO where do I began to update everyone. I guess I will start with the most exciting news today, I translated my first few pages from Spanish to English and I think I did a good job, not to mention that it was sooooooo much fun. This is something I could really enjoy, especially if I´m translating Christian things because then I´m edified at the same time, that´s straight up AWESOME!!!!!!!! Well other than that the past few months and the next few months willbe a time of transition for me in many ways. I really don´t want to go into details here on my blog but if you ask me I will more that willingly tell you. I think what I really want to talk about is the glory of God. Unfortunately I don´t have 100 pages to write all that I want but I just wanted to share with everyone how life transforming and miracolously faithful the Lord has been. Well maybe it´s better to say that I am just now starting to see this aspect of God´s charachter becasue he has been like this since the beginning and he will continue to be this way until the end, ALPHA and OMEGA Glory be to God!!!!!

Well since I got back from the states over Christmas, there has been a longing like no other in the very depths of my soul, a desire to completely throw everything away for Him, to live like John the Baptist, Daniel, Enoch, Abraham, Paul, Elijah and many more in the bible. I mean literally I want to give my life to the KINGDOM!!!! And that´s the thing, the kingdom. I was noticing a few days ago how Christ in the gospels talks about the KINGDOM. Salvation is beautiful and I thank God will all my heart for it, becasue it transformed my life. Yet what about the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God. ¨Hallowed be your name, your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.¨ Matthew 6:9-10 SO what is this Kingdom of God that Jesus himself said that we should be crying out for day and night (Like 18:7). Obviously it includes His justice, His love, His mercy, His judgment, etc. etc. But the part that blows my mind is that His Justice, His Love, His mercy, etc are quite the opposite of what we think to be right. Let´s look at our society. We are taught to be independent thinkers who question everything and to focus solely on ourselves so that we can be better, stronger, smarter, faster. And some of these qualities are okay yet, the problem is the root, completely self-sufficient and independent of God. Yet in his kingdom we see people like Paul who were completely dependent and looked at like fools all for the sake of the gospel and the glory of God so that His kingdom would come on earth (2 Corinthians 6:4-10). I mean, WOW!!!!! When you read that verse don´t you just want to jump up and say, GOD, Glory Be to Your Name!!!! At the same time when I read it it sounds so contradictory, and that´s what I love about God. There are so many things that seem down right STUPID in the eyes of man, even my own, yet they are more precious than Gold to the Father. Matthew 5:3-10, Matthew 10:34-39, Isaiah 55:1, Mark 10:29-31 and there are 100´s more. Sometimes I feel like we just look at these verses and take a good moral lesson out of them, including myself, but I don´t want to do that anymore. I truly want to live for the Kingdom of God, living as though I am a stranger to this world (Hebrews 11:8-10). One of my really close friends told me something profound. As he was studying the word he was realizing that it doesn´t matter where we are becasue JESUS IS THE WAY!!!!!! As long as our eyes are on Him we are going in the right direction, that´s kingdom living becasue what that lifestyle everything is in the air but there is no worry becasue you know that the Lord has you, like David in 1 Samuel.

I don´t know, to many this might seem like a random sentences and thoughts or even that I´m crazy, and that´s okay. I just know that the Lord is really sturring my heart about his Kingdom and his Bride becasue time is drawing short and I want to be ready and I want to know that I really knew the Father and the Son while I was here on earth. I guess my prayer is that the Lord will reveal to me more revelation about His kingdom and what it means to completely live for him.

So yeah that´s just a small part of what´s been in my mind since my last post. So many things have happened, but one day at a time. Hope I can get a chance to talk to you soon. If you have skype, lets skype it up one day.
