Update for September.

So even though I am horrible at updating this blog I am still in the time frame of updating once a month, though my entries for August weren´t updates at all. Instead the main one was just a rant to express how I felt, which is why I deleted it becasue well I don´t want to read it.

Any whoo. August and September. I moved into my new place and it´s amazing. It has everything and includes all utilities, plus it is a 10 min walk to my job and a 30 min walk to my church, where the HOP is located. The only draw-back is that there is no internet which means I need to be in the HOP or my school to communicate with people which kind of sucks, but it also limits me from being on the computer an excessive amount of time in the evening. Yet the trade off is that there is cable, so lately I have been watching, SpongeBob and Fairy God parents in Spanish, but the Spanish name would be, Bob Esponja y Los Padrinos magicos, hahaha. Though I still have a problem with having access to a lot of movies, which I watch on the weekends. This occurs because I´m extremly bored because there is no one to hang out with, yet little by little I am trying to dedicate that time to praying and reading the bible more.

On the note of boredom....The one person I hang out with the most is currently in Bangladesh and will not be back in Mexico until Sept 28th I believe. Also I put that on my Facebook wall, so please, please be in prayer for him and the whole team that went. I think God is really going to do something powerful and amazing through them and I would love to be there, but God has me here and I know he hears my prayers. Well the idea of being bored, I am. Not really bored it´s just that my life is so humdrum or monotonous, which is teaching me to be faithful and content in the little. It´s one thing to want to dig deeper in the Lord when you are doing great, amazing and exciting things in him or your life is horrible, but to have the same consitency and faithfulness and when your life is absolutely lacking in excitement is really, really difficult and it is a test of your charachter and true desire to dig deep into God and to be faithful. So that has been the biggest challenge, not to get easily distracted and become complacent or bitter. Still I want to do something different, so I am going to start going to Mexico City once a month again because, well, the people are just more exciting and interactive out there, I feel more a part of the body then I do here and they welcome and include me a lot more. The second thing is that I am going to take cooking classes in the Centro (down town area) once a week or every other week, depending on the price. I´m going to go with my best friends mother, Gladis, who I absolutely love, she is sooo wonderful, sweet and amazing and has been so loving to me. The first class I´m going to is this Wednesday, which will be traditional Mexican food, which I really need to learn. So these should be fun and exciting activities, plus this Wed, the 16th is Indpendence day for Mexico, which means, HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to enjoy it. Praise GOd, seriously.

So basically my life is the same every week, though God has done something really awesome in the midst of all of this. He has blessed me twice with money from different people, just becasue they felt the Lord telling them to do so. That's really sweet and awesome of God. Plus he has used random people like my sister to really cheer me up when the mundaness of it all was really getting to me. I love God for this sooo mcuh, becasue I know he wont leave me in this process alone and I know it´s not for forever and that the treasure/lesson/growth that will come out of this experience is really worth it. So just pray that I remain faithful, when I´m just like UGHHHHHHHH!!!! to life, becasue God is awesome and I need to just turn to Him because I can´t forget that He is my best of best friends and He knows me better than anyone else. It´s really awesome that we have a God that wants to be our friend, like he was with Abraham, Moses, David, the disciples, etc. So I want to take adavantage of that and not waste this opportunity he has given me even though it is an extremely tough lesson to learn.

I guess the only other update is that my mother is coming soon and that I should be in Cleveland this winter, God willing, for my sister´s wedding and Christmas, so I hope to be able to see and hang out with some of you guys. Also a guy, from North Carolina, who always visits some of the churches in Mexico hould be coming in September. He is part of the prophetic ministry and really encourages us every time he comes, so that ought to be pretty cool, plus he´s really nice and fun to hang out with. I´m praying for you all and I love you soo much.
