Volcanos & Agatha

What a last few days. Phew. On Thursday the Pacaya Volcano started to show us what it's all about and covered Guatemala City in Ash, killing one reporter with several children still missing. 1000's are in shelters.. The Saturday morning we were greeted with a little surprise of Agatha, a tropical storm, which is excepted to bring 30 inches of rain to some areas.. Pray... the risk of landslides is great.. rivers flooding.. it's not like a rain storm in the states where you can be sure your home will stand firm, the majority of people don't have that confidence, as they live in very poorly build homes, stacked onto muddy hillsides.. Father turn this nation to you..

oh how HE loves us :)

As the seasons of life change.. none better than the other, some more difficult, but in all seasons God is teaching us. Showing us HIS plan and HIS desires for our moments. So that none are wasted, but all used to HIS glory and honor. I have been surrendering my heart more and more to my LORD, my desire is that is it HE I receive all things from. That I never put a human in that place. That it is HIM I need. And as this has been my prayer for my life recently and especially last night. This morning when I got to the center and the one of the staff arrived she had a rose for me, and in that moment I knew that it was straight from my Daddy in heaven. To receive directly from HIS hand is such a beautiful thing. HE is there, arms wide open.. Lets let him be our comfort, be the wind in our sails.. JESUS.
