We have been so blessed being able to attend some classes at the Mission School here in Guatemala! The students here are so wonderful. There are 8 young women attending. It is wonderful to see how God molds their lives in such a way that they grow continuosly. I have grown to love each and every one of them. There are students from the United States, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
I have learned so much from each of them. They are earnestly seeking God's will for their lives. There are 2 students that have felt led to go to Mexico for a calling on thier lives. It isn't always easy to follow the leading of the Lord. Families are not always willing to give up their children as they answer the call of God on their lives. I pray that God will give me wisdom to help them hear from God and to be able to do His will in their lives.
We have been asked to be CC's for the Mission Students until the end of their year. They will graduate in June. This is such a wonderful opportunity for us. I have been blessed to visit the classes whenever I would like. I have learned so much. It seems that God has answered so many questions that I have had in the past. I am so hungry to know His will in my life on a daily basis.
One most important lesson that He is trying to teach me is about submitting to authority. I never really thought that I had a problem with that until I saw things that just didn't seem right to me. I ofcourse would have "MY" idea of how it should be, but found out quickly that is not what God wanted. As I was thinking about some injustice that I thought was going on, the Lord quietly spoke to me and said, "Who are you looking at?" I realized that I had my eye on the person, instead of my master. It may seem easy for some of you, but as I listened, I realized that only God can change the circumstances right or wrong. Forgive me Lord, I didn't have my eyes on you. Giving it over to Him, allows Him to work.
It is interesting to know that as I submit to Authority, God has also shown me how to have authority! I see that He allows me to speak and speak with that Authority that He has given me. What an awsome God we serve!
