toady i am kinda bored. but that's ok. i think it's time can use to reflecton what god has done for me. I medan, i am here in Costa Rica away from all my family and friends and i have never really felt alone. God had been good to me. He has provded me with a new family and new friends here. I am still struggling a bit with the language but trust me he ahs helped me a lot in that regard. I'll share an experience.

When i just got here in January, there was a seminar that I had to attend. now this seminar is in Spanish and I don't speak much neither do i understand much spanish. I wnt through the first half of the first day and at the end of taht first session i felt really disheartened. iw ent to my house and i cried. not only did i cry though, i alsio poured out my heart to god asking Him to help me to understand what was being said. Well to cut a long story short at the end of the afternoon session, i didn't understand everything but i understood a whole lot more than in the morning. now if that isn't God workinig for me, then he never does. so today while i am bored, i will take the time to reflect and see haw GREAT God has been to me and will continue to be. Tonight we will have our communion service and that alo is a time for reflect. God gave His only son for us. which of us would do that for a friend? But God loves us so much that He made the ultimate sacrifice. Right now I just want to once more tahnk God for His unselfish, His unconditional and His stubborn love for me.
