| Today I had the great opportunity to translate for a vision team for Compassion International. They are here for 4 days as they are considering partnering with Compassion. They are all speakers and people that travel around the US and the world speaking. Please check out Compassion International if you haven't already.
Anyways... One of our stops today was to visit a community project. I got to meet Erick there. Erick is a boy around 11 years old that has some kind of mental dissability as well as being born with an extra finger in his hand. As I saw him interact with the team, with his surroundings, play, communicate, laugh... I felt as maybe I was the one with the dissability. He was so real about his emotions, his gratefulness, his excitment, his passion for life, His understanding of Jesus.
Yes.. maybe He has problems communicating... yet i feel that his non verbals speak a lot louder than my words or the words of the wise, even godgly people.
Thank you Erick. Thank you for serving me and teaching me today.

| The only thing that is on my head right now is that after a long day of doing lots and reading lots and serving lots and listening to incredible sermons...
All i want is to drop at the feet of my Lord and have quiet intimate moments with Him. No more songs, no more sermons, no more great speakers, no more crazy serving time, no great podcasts....
All i want is a room with not much lights... silence, my Bible and a time to be on the floor enjoying being quiet before my God.

| I wish I'll be better at updating this thing... Life has been busy and there is a lot of stuff going on.
I am doing well and I am as crazy about my God as ever. Not on the christianesse, religious way but on the way in which you learn to enjoy God in various moments of your day... in which you pray for concrete things based on your desire *that was given by Him anyways* to pursue a deeper more intimate relationship with Him... You fall in your face and you see your sinfulness and you are reminded of His grace and a bigger appreciation for what He did becomes you main reason for devotion. By grace.. not by fear or merit.. You even pray to see things shaken up because you want His name to be great... You pray with great expectation because at the end of the day He is still that Awesome, powerful God of Moses, David and Elijah. You just beg for a second to see that beauty and for your spirtual amnesia not to kick in... so that you won't forget those lessons and what you have seen and experience by the time you close your eyes at night... You end up doing it anyways and the new sunrise brings a new opportunity to fight hard and be comformed more to His image... You mess up yet there is no condemnation on those moments... There is a bigger desire for the day in which this body would not get in the way... the day in glory. All as a gift.
There is so much to do... The gospel saves people *as i saw today* yet needs to be preached to the saved ones already so that it never looses it's impact...
I want to have a gospel saturated life that starts and ends in the cross in which my savior died...
yet never forgetting that He rose... and I will rise too... Not for my glory but to validate the glory of his name.
Night.

| Lately.. I have been reading my Bible and being so blessed by the meaning of passages in sections of scripture. What was the lesson of a story, a book, a letter.. etc in the context of what the Lord is trying to say.
But Tuesday as I was hearing my dad preach at church. *which is a blog on it's own*
I was so moved by a phrase in Scripture as it was read in Spanish.
"Con todo mi corazon te he buscado" salmo 119 10
"With all my heart I have sought You"
WITH ALL MY HEART.. How many times have i used the idea of loving someone, or doing something with all my heart...
I can't say that I seek.. I look, i long, i desire, i want, I look forward to my Lord with ALL MY Heart.
I want that to be my prayer. It will be for a while... Cause it takes a while to break my crappy heart until wants to go ALL or nothing.
