Lover of my Soul!

This week I have had 3 realizations.... 1. I leave for Nepal in 18 days! Awwww! I am going to be living in Katmandu for 3 months with the Nepali people. Unreal I do not even know what to expect our team had just been continuing to get closer and closer and more excited for what God is going to do. We are going in with no expectations but knowing that God will do something great and use us in amazing ways. Also, everyone on my team has all their money for outreach and I have all my gear payed for now. I am ready to go just need my gear to get here and then we are ready to go. Realization number 2. Jesus likes to give gifts and when he gives them he does not take them away no matter what. Jesus loves to bless us and give us gifts to glorify Him but if we use them to not glorify Him then he still does not take them away. Which does not make sense to me. Why would we use them to not glorify Jesus though? He blesses us so much that we should want to praise him and lift up His name always. This week was Holy Spirit week with an amazingly prophetic women named Amy Sollars. She taught us about the Holy Spirit and how much he loves us and how much he wants to be our friend and bless us and gives us gifts to get closer to Him. I found out this week my spiritual gifting and it is Words of Wisdom and Knowledge. Which I did not believe I have but Amy told me that I did and I said um No I don't think so. She asked me a series of questions and showed me by my answers that I do indeed have it. I was so happy and then I asked her in a Q & A session why God will tell you something about someone and then tell you not to say anything? She said, "He likes to give secrets because He is your friend sometimes it is a test but not most of the time. He likes to see if he can trust you". That is so cool God trust me enough to give me little secrets and tell me things about people just because he is my friend and loves me and wants to show me he trusts me. WOW! This week was amazing, Amy took a very heavy, very skeptical topic and made it very light to where people understand. This week was crazy. Realization #3. Jesus loves to give blessings and just pour out his love and just bless me and hang out with me. He will be there for me no matter what and is my best friend! When times get hard Jesus is the one thing that will always be there for me and love me. I have learned that out here when I am having a hard time with something I have to lean on Him because I do not really have anyone else. At home I have my family but here I have Jesus and I have learned that He is enough. This week has been so good and it just keeps getting better.
