The Body of Christ is Awesome!

Life here in San Felipe is good. God's grace is here and I just have a better perspective on life here. I am learning so much about myself and the body of Christ. Now like any body of course the body of Christ has it's flaws. Man is not perfect but I don't believe we can walk out what God has called us to do without having each other's back in prayer and encouragement.  I am so grateful for the body of Christ as I go through this experience. The body of Christ has been such a huge part of me getting here and me being able to stay here. Without my parents, pastors, family, church family, and friends I could not be here at Sonshine Hacienda. I have appreciated the prayers, financial support, and words of encouragement so much. God just has placed people in my life that I am blessed by so often. I know that every where that I am and everything that I do well the body of Christ is with me and behind me. 


If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. All of you together are Christ’s  body, and each of you is a part of it. I Corinthians 12:26-27


I have really seen how the body of Christ stretches to different places and culture.  I now am a part of a church in San Felipe that I really love.  This church has taken me in and made me feel at home with them. When I first moved to San Felipe I missed my church so much and this church took me in and made me feel welcomed. I don't speak the same language as most of them but I think that we recognize the Holy Spirit in each other and that seems to be enough for us to be brothers and sisters in Christ. I have been very blessed to know them and to be a part of their church family. I feel very blessed to be a part of the body of Christ. It is very encouraging to know that I am not any of this alone and that I have so many people to call on and talk to when things get hard or confusing. I am so very blessed. 


And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.So it is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. You share with me the special favor of God, both in my imprisonment and in defending and confirming the truth of the Good News. Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.  Philippians 1

Last week I was very worried about my finances. I was missing some support and I would say I was doubtful, scared, and I panicked. The whole week I had to keep reminding myself that God is a provider and if I truly believe that He called me here (which I do) then why do I think that He would leave me. I had to keep telling God that I trust Him and also just asking Him to provide for me supernaturally and just meet my needs. By the end of the week I had 2 more financial supporters and a major financial need met. It was one of those times that I just felt so loved by God and heard by Him. This past month the passage in the gospels, of Peter walking on water, has consistently come up. This last week I felt like I was Peter sinking in the sea, even though I recently witnessed Jesus do miraculous things, because I was looking at the wind and the waves. I can walk on water if I'm focused on Jesus but I remember that in times where I am sinking if I call on the name of Jesus He will rescue me. He is always there to pick me up even when I fail to trust Him.  I have experienced God and His greatness but I still have so much more to see and to learn about Him. One thing I think God wants to instill in me is that I must rely on Him not man. God is my source and my provider.  I am realizing that I get to experience God in a whole new way and see the body of Christ in a new way as well through my adventures at Sonshine. I am very grateful to everyone who gives. You all encourage my faith more that you know. Thank you for your obedience. I can't wait to see how God blesses you.
