How God Works

As I had been preparing for this trip over the last few months God has really been stretching me. I had to learn how to pray with my eyes open, how to be extra in tune to Gods voice and how to not gage over everything (that one well I had to more so develop lately). But really over the last few days that we have been here I know that everyone can really sense how God is working he may not be having cancer fall off of bodies in front of our eyes but who said that he is not having it fall off behind our eyes.

Tuesday night was great we had just arrived and were all exhausted yet so so excited to experience Nicaragua and what God had been preparing for us. That night we went to a local church and Pastor preached and after we prayed for people. During his sermon I had been sensing that though I was tired God was going to lead me to someone tonight. As soon as Pastor opened the alters and older women went forward. Something just told me to go to her she looked around 70 something and probably normally would not have been my first choice to pray for. But I obeyed and went to her I was able to stumble around with my knowledge of Spanish and ask her what I could specifically pray for. She said that she has horrible pain in her head, and then some in her stomach and knee. So i just began to pray, should could not understand anything I was saying but she sat there just looking at me with tears in her eyes and smiling. Once I was done praying I asker her how her pain was and she said that she had no pain in her head, that her swelling in her knee felt less pressure and that her stomach was doing okay. PRAISE GOD!! I was so excited, God totally knew that I needed something to show me what this trip was going to be like.

Wednesday- I will try to make this one shorter  but Wednesday we were at this awesome tent church that had great music and was very fun. As Pastor was preaching I was praying and the word Blind kept coming to mind. Earlier they had even sang open the eyes of my heart Lord (granted they sing that constantly) but anyways when the alter call was called God told me to stand on the right side if you are looking at the congregation and the first little boy to come up I went to. When I asked him what he wanted prayer for he told me that he had had a tumor that had made him go blind in his left eye. I prayed so much I seriously could not breath. When I walked away I was kinda bummed there had been no immediate reaction. I continued to pray with other people and the next lady I touched as soon as I removed my hand she fell. Yes there were others praying for her so who said it was me that had the impact but God just gave me this peace like Chrissy do not doubt me, I do not have to always show you right away for me to be doing something in someone.

Thursday- I know some others wrote about that it was awesome

Friday- We went zip lining and to the movies and the mall..ya getting the real Nicaraguan experience lol :D But we did meet a Athletes in Action baseball team that was fun :D No worries I am not bringing back a husband (though I can not speak for some of the other girls)

More to come later love you all see you soon and thanks for your prayers
