so this blog is partially to explain a little more as to why the quotes and verses and songs that have been themes for the past few months...entonces
"From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live." -Acts 17.26
this verse means a lot to me because God had planned that I was born and raised in Texas, and here in Costa Rica, learning Spanish i really want to have already learned it growing up, but God planned that i grew up in a state where i heard it occasionally at least and i think because of this i have a good background.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." -Hebrews 13.8
this verse is one of my favorites and something that i lean on all the time, because no matter how i am feeling, when the enemy, the world or my flesh, or they are all working together to discourage me, i know that my Savior never changes and that His love will never fail me. no importa que mis emociones cambian todo del tiempo, i know that this is true: Jesus never changes!
"Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." -Galatians 1.10
this one just speaks for itself, and is so incredibly convicting.
"Take my Life and Let it be Consecrated Lord to Thee"
Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.
Take my voice and let me sing always, only for my king.
Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from thee.
Take my silver and my gold not a might would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use every power as you choose.
::Chorus::
Here am I, all of me.
Take my life, it's all for thee.
Take my will and make it Thine it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord I pour at your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be ever, only all for thee,
Take myself and I will be ever, only all for thee.
Here am I, All of me.
Take my life, It's all for thee.
this song i just feel resonates with my heart every time i hear it, because i want that every moment of every day for the rest of my life to be completely abandoned to Him, all of me.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." -Psalm 139.14
i love reading this entire chapter on my birthday, it makes it that much more special for me.
and the rest of this blog will just be random thoughts, i guess.
i hate this crazy mix of emotions that i have right now of how i so really want to leave because i want to see my family and friends, but i dont want to leave because i love costa rica and i love learning Spanish, and i love the more simple life than the US

favorite holiday with a beautiful song
really appropriate for Easter! He is alive!
Come close listen to the story
About a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave His only Son just to save us
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Fathers Broken Heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
Search your heart you know you can't deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave His only Son just to save us
The Earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt The Fathers broken heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
(on the CD he says: IT DOESNT END THERE!)
Now, Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Oh, He is alive
He rose again
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
Come close listen to the story
Come close listen to the story
About a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave His only Son just to save us
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Fathers Broken Heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
Search your heart you know you can't deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave His only Son just to save us
The Earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt The Fathers broken heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
(on the CD he says: IT DOESNT END THERE!)
Now, Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Oh, He is alive
He rose again
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
Come close listen to the story

goodbyes
i hate goodbyes. i hate them with a passion. last night was the last time i was going to see Carlos, Karina and their three girls while i am here, and right before i had to leave Kristell (4 yr old) and Keisy (6 yr old) and i were dancing around and being silly... and Kristell kept saying "bailamos!" and so we kept dancing. And then it was really time to go, and she jumped on my back and wrapped her arms around my neck and Carlos had to peel her off of me and she squeeled and started crying and it broke my heart.
there arent even words after that really, right? and then Carlos walks me to the busstop and tells me that i am forever part of their family and that i am very special to them and that they are going to always write me and pray for me.
i also hate crying, so when the tears started i just went away even faster so they didnt see me cry, i dont know why do i have such a hard time with crying? it is a normal thing right? heaven is going to be pretty amazing is all i have to say (Rev 21:4) "and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."
i love it.
