yo this flesh is gnarly

dude,

i am so excited to be trying to live in the spirt by putting to death my fleshly desires:

keep me in your prayers, because i need God's Almighty strength to keep me running, filled up and brimming over with His Spirit. I want more than anything to be a simple mighty vessel bringing God' s kingdom.


Surfing Update:

today, i went surfing most of the day, and had a wonderful time! the first part of it i was alone, and i was doing really well. i stood up a bunch of times, the waves were perfect, and small enough for me to ride! whoa! God God for making waves... He is amazing!

then forest and the kids came out to play. and we all did another session together. again, the waves were breaking perfectly! it was tremendous! i had a perfect day today.

Jeronimo Update:

i saw him surfing today on sandy beach. i didn't talk to him because i was chatting with the kids and forest.
but i saw him when i was walking, so i decided i should atleast say hello. i did, and we talked about surfing, i asked him if he believed in God and he said "no, not really." we talked some more about life stuff, then it started to rain. he drove me home with a truck full of surfers and that was it. well, not all of it. he invited me to a party tonight, but i prayed about it, and i don't think i should go. something in my spirit was saying "no, do not go!" so i decided to obey. i think my Spirit is warning me of a potential pitfall! Thank you Jesus! I am so excited to obey, for 2 reasons.
1. i'm avoiding unnecessary heart pain and drama, better for both of us.

2. only God understands the full picture right now, and my goal is to listen and obey joyfully. he knows what i want, and He will give it to me when He sees fit.

so, i know God is operating out of love for me, and I praise Him for that! Other than my parents, noone has ever loved me so unconditionally and perfectly. so i will yeild to my husband, and trust that this is His gentle protection over my heart, a well spring of life!

Kids Dance Classes:

We are having our first dance show on Tuesday @ 5pm. :) It's going to be held here at Casa Papaya. the girls will be dancing 4 dance numbers. 2 ballet 2 hip-hop.

Updates and Praises!!

Zoila and Robbie are coming into town!! Whoa-hoo!! pray for us to have a wonderful and beautifully peaceful time! I am so excited about their arrival! i will be taking a bus to Santa Cruz solo, so pray for me as well!

Dad is doing well. I have been telling him all these wonderful things about buying a piece of property here. I think it would be a great investment, i am just hoping he will lend me the money to buy it! pray for me to remain calm and at peace during this entire process.

Lindsay: I am doing well also. been super contemplative. thinking about
life: and how to successfully handle emotions
love: today i thought what if i wanted to be married to this guy jeron, would God be mad at me? and i opened up the scriptures to the perfect answer.

13 "My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken me,
the spring of living water,
and have dug their own cisterns,
broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

dude, if I really believe God is my husband, then I want to let him provide for me. He knows what I want. so me marrying any non-believer would be me "digging my own cistern, a broken one that can't hold water!" how friggin heart breaking is that? to do it ourself and say "i dont need you Lord" not to forget i would be forgetting about my husband, and all the AMAZING life giving water he has provided for me. Every day! Yesterday, I didn't spend any time with God really, but he gave me everything! Food, shelter, clothing, peace, friends, an amazing dinner, a time to build a friendship. Our saviour is so gracious, patient, gentlemen-like yet jealous as hell. dude, i dont want to mess with the flesh, when the Spirit is so perfect. but that humbles me too, because i know what I am, but God lives in me, and i keep my attention there, the best i can, so that i won't sin against Him.

Thanks for reading, yet another one of my blags!!
