“Jesus, Jesus at your feet o to dwell and never leave. Jesus, Jesus at your feet there is nowhere else for me nowhere else for me! Here at your feet I lay my day.”
Friday we got to study and work on our presentations then left for school. It was sad because it was the last day with our teacher, and He’s great and makes class so much fun! It was also storming really bad the thunder was sooo loud. And then I gave my presentation and it had stopped raining thankfully because during my presentation we had to go outside cause there was a 6.6 EARTHQUAKE!! It was crazy it was my first ever earthquake. Then we hung out with friends at their house and watched a movie on tv.
Saturday we left early for Monte Verde the drive was gorgeous, super rough, and 4hours long. Then we shopped around the town got some pastries, then we to a frog farm that night. We went to get pizza for dinner.

Today we went zip-lining it was awesome 3 hours of amazingness. We also got to do a tarzan jump; It was like a giant swing from a platform, and my group was the last to zip line so we got to do it twice, and the second time we did it backwards; it was awesome!! And I saw a howler monkey, it sounded like it was gonna eat me! It was so scary and loud.
Well on the way to and from Monte Verde I have the chance to just spend time with the Lord and listen to some music. These are just a few things that have been going on. The Lord’s been speaking great Word to me lately and I think it’s worth sharing.
One the way there I wrote:
“While being here just taking the time and being able to listen to Christian music has been a blessing and sometimes I just want to cry I’m just so overcome with worship, feeling like I am nothing and coincidentally having nada que dar. I am loving the song “Always Enough” from Casting Crowns. The lyrics are in the video below.
I feel here is the dry and weary land, and Christ is my rain. Here I’m not surrounded by the Lake of Christ which is my bros and sis in Christ. It makes it challenging. It also says “He is hope for the orphans” and everything I’m about to do at the orphanage is to show them that Hope. I can’t wait and am starting to get so excited about the orphanage, because I know this is a passion that God has given me and I’m able to use it next month. The song also says He is “hope for the weak” and sometimes I feel weak and crave time with Him. But every second I spend thinking about or talking with Him has been so sweet and so fulfilling.
On the way back I was listening to Matthew West’s song “The reason for the world”. The lyrics are in the video.
The reason for the world, more of Him and less of me, being reminded of the reason that I am in this world to serve the Lord, and to learn about Him, while glorifying His name and furthering His kingdom. Getting my perspectives in order that I have nada que dar, keeping my eyes towards what matters, and not what language we speak, the food we eat, where we live or if we have insects in our houses. What matters is what is eternal. Leaving and throwing down what is material and running towards what is eternal. I defiantly don’t think I am there and I may never be but my goal is it one day be able to grasp the concept “Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You I desire NOTHING on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:25-26
These are just a few snippets of what the Lord has been teaching me. Please continue to pray for me in my daily walk with the Lord and just to seek encouragement from His Word. And also please be praying for all the children I will be with at the orphanage and the workers I will be staying with. Thank you to all who are praying for me.
