"Yo veo una estrella,Tu ves la vía láctea..."
Mientras escuchaba una y otra vez estas palabras una cálida sonrisa invadió mi rostro al darme cuenta de que mis limites realmente no limitan a Dios. Este fin de semana ha sido bastante intenso.He llorado a mares,vaciandome de mentiras y temores.He reído hasta que me ha dolido el estomago una y otra vez.He sentido la nostalgia abrazarse a mi alma hasta que me ha dolido el corazón.He añorado las voces de mi familia, los abrazos de España, las ocurrencias de mi hermana, la compañía de mis amigos....pero al mismo tiempo me he sumergido de lleno en Dios y, empapada en Su amor, he sentido Su mirada enternecida sobre mi.Aunque a ratos me he sentido fuera de lugar, confundida y muy asustada,la certeza de que mi camino esta en Sus manos ha llenado mis días.A El ningún detalle se le escapa.
Este fin de semana los estudiantes volvieron a casa para continuar con el levantar fondos para los viajes misioneros que se acercan.Yo me quede porque ir a España no era una opción.Tuve que pasar mucho tiempo sola,y a ratos se volvió bastante difícil.No tenia idea de que pudiera echar tanto de menos tener gente a mi alrededor,pero al mismo tiempo,esta situación me empujo a correr hacia Dios en lugar de buscar gente,y fue INCREÍBLE. Fue un tiempo precioso con El (: Pero también tuve la oportunidad de reír con la gente del Staff.Algunos se quedaron en lugar de ir a casa así que pase mucho tiempo con ellos y realmente lo disfrute (:
Aun no tengo mucho dinero para el viaje a Tailandia,pero se que Dios es fiel y es generoso.Estos últimos días he tenido tantas y tantas oportunidades para elegir entre dudar de El o elegir creer en El hasta el final.Así que vez tras vez he recordado a mi alma de lo que El ha hecho,las historias de libertad y sanidad que han tenido lugar durante estos meses, cada detalle que El ha tenido conmigo, las diferentes maneras que El ha usado para hacerme saber cuanto me ama, Sus cartas de amor.... Y mientras mas recuerdo, una firme certeza llena mi ser: El no me a a soltar.
A ratos las palabras ya no me alcanzan.Dios ha cautivado mi corazón de una manera nueva,mas intensa, mas intima, mas emocionante, mas firme, mas apasionada, mas real, mas inmensa, mas sublime. Ha tomado la Gail que estaba rota,ha borrado mi vergüenza, ha cerrado mis heridas, se ha llevado mi dolor, y me ha hecho hermosa, mas allá de lo que nunca me atreví a soñar. Y mis cicatrices ya no son un recordatorio de mi vergüenza ,las humillaciones y palabras que marcaron mi piel.Ahora son hermosas marcas que cuentan una historia de amor,ese amor que redime, que persigue,que no se rinde, que es paciente,ese amor que ama de forma pura, furiosa, apasionada, permanente, tierna, firme, verdadera....Su amor que lo toca y cambia todo.Su amor que me salvo la vida,y me salvo de mi misma.
Gracias una vez mas a los que habeis elegido ser parte de este viaje.Gracias a los que habeis elegido orar por mi, a los que habeis elegido dar para que yo este aquí y para que mi equipo y yo vayamos a Tailandia. .No tengo palabras.GRACIAS.
Continúen orando por favor para el viaje a Tailandia, por las finanzas que aun nos faltan por levantar, por la gente con la que vamos a trabajar, por la gente que conoceremos, por que nuestro equipo viva en unidad, que estemos tan impregnados de Dios y Su amor que podamos compartirlo con la gente no solo a través de palabras,pero aun sin ellas.

" I see a star,You see the milkyway.."
As I was listening to this words over and over again, a warm smile invaded my face when I realized that my limits don't limit God. This weekend has been pretty intense. Tears have flooded my eyes as I emptied myself of lies and fears. I've laughed over and over again untill my stomach has hurt.I've felt homesickness embracing my soul until my heart hurt. I've missed my family's voices, the hugs from Spain, my sister's crazy ideas,my friend's company...but at the same time I've dived into God and, soaked in His love, I've felt His eyes fixed on me with tenderness. Even though at times I've felt out of place, confused and scared, the certainty that my path is in His hands has filled my days. He doesn't miss any detail.
This weekend all the students went back home to continue raising support for the upcoming outreaches. I stayed here because going back to Spain was not an option. I had to spend a lot of time alone, and sometimes it got really difficult. I dind't knew I could miss having people around me this much, but at the same time, this situation pushed me to run to God instead of looking for people,and it was INCREDIBLE.It was a precious time with Him (: But I also had the chance to laugh with staff people.Some of them stayed here instead of going back home,so I spent a lot of time with them and I really enjoyed it! (:
I still havn't got a lot for the trip to Thailand, but I know God is faithful and generous. This last days I've had a lot of chances to choose between doubting Him or choosing to believe Him till the very end. So time after time I reminded my soul of all that He has done, all the stories of freedom and healing that have taken place these months, every detail that He has had with me, the different ways He has used to make me know how He loves me, His love letters...and the more I remember, a firm certainty fills me: He's not going to let me go.
At times words are just not enough anymore.God has captivated my heart in a new way, more intense, more intimate, more exciting, firmer, more passionate, more real, more inmense,more sublime. He has taken the Gail that was broken, He has taken away my shame and pain,He has healed my wound, and has made me beautiful, more than I ever dared to dream. And now my scars are no longer a reminder of my shame, the humilliations and words that marked my skin. They are beautiful marks that tell a love story, the kinf of love that redeems, pursues, never gives up, is patient,that kind of love that loves purely,furiously,passionately,permanently,tenderly,firmly, truly... His love that touches and changes everything.His love that saved my life, and saved me from myself.
Thank you once again to those of you who have chosen to be part of this journey. Thank you to those who have chose to pray for me, to those who have willingly given so I can be here. I can;t find any words to describe how thankful I am.THANK YOU.
Please keep praying for the trip to Thailand, for the finances that we still have left to raise, for the people we'll work with,for the people we'll meet,for our team to walk in unity,that we might be so filled with God and His love that we can share it with the people not only through our words,but even without them.
Gail (:
Hermoso Blog, Eli, como no podía ser de otra manera con todo el arte que tienes... ¡Felicitaciones!
ResponderEliminarSólo quiero que sepas que nos alegra mucho todo lo que Dios está haciendo contigo en estos años, desde que te conocemos. Sin duda, ésta en JCUM es una experiencia extraordinaria. Pero lo más importante es todo el proceso, en el que Dios se está revelando a tu vida de forma tan intensa y profunda. ¡Sigue siendo una esponja! Ya sabes lo que dice 'el Predicador': "Acuerdate de tu Creador en los días de tu juventud...". ¡Esos son tus días!!
Un besote de parte mía y de Miriam.
Praying for you!!

I just lost my man about three months ago though he is back again full of love and passion with the help of great man Dr. IKHIDE. I NORAH PEDRO from Norway, have been into a relationship with Daniel mark since I was 22 years old and I am 28 now. I so much love him but I could not show the love, it was very difficult for me to prove my realness to him because I thought to prove my love to him might make him look down on me and go after other girls. for over six years Daniel has given me all that I ask of him. I always threatened him with break up each time I want to see his level of love for me because I was told if I threaten him, he will propose to me and then will get married to him before I can show my love despite his complains of him not sure of my love I was responding to him with negative words. though I was suspecting he has another girl in his life, I did not border to ask him about that because I was so sure of his love despite my attitude. on the 8th of September a day to my birthday he came and gave me so many lovely gifts like never before claiming to wish me a happy birthday in advance with his words and behavior I expected him to propose to me on my birthday night then I will also tell him of my pregnant for him. I wait for him on my birthday he did not show up not even a call, I tried his number and it was not going through I refuse to go check on him because the anger in me six days later I went to his house and I found nothing not even a sign of my Daniel once live there. I was disappointed, frustrated, confused with so many thoughts on my mind like hanging my self if I did not see him again because I can not my parent about the pregnancy when the man responsible for it had disappeared. our religion's against that, my family will be disappointed in me, I have brought them shame. I look for Daniel everywhere till I could chat with him on social network, he warned me never to disturb him again because he already had found another girl that he wants to live his life with, after a while, he blocked me from all access then I could not tell him of my pregnancy for him. so, I needed help from all corners of life, I decide to check to google my self or read some write up on-site on how to coup with my pain because I could not tell anybody about it not even my friends were aware of my pregnancy. I keep reading to cancel my self till I find how Dr. IKHIDE helps so many persons from different walks of life with their testimonies. then I decide to also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com. Because I do not know much about contacting a spell caster, I was not sure he can bring my Dan back but I decide to give him a try though his requirement was another problem I meet with a friend for help because I could not the items that he needed I have to plead with Dr. IKHIDE to help me get the items because really need my man back to take away my shame. just two days after I send him the requirement Daniel calls me, plead for forgiveness. just yesterday he propose to me and I am so happy. you can also contact him with email: - dr.ikhide@gmail.com or whatsapp :- +2349058825081
