yesterday we went out to work with La Zona Roja, an organization that works against prostitution here in Spain. This post isn´t about that experience...but rather a thought that has stuck since then. During our outting, I met a woman who said " what hope is there for me here?"
how many people feel this way: What hope is there for me? And so many people don ´t see the door out.. the road out... the gate that is Christ Jesus! This... this thought breaks me.
Today God really laid on my heart to listen to switchfoot and their beautiful letdown c.d. I really do enjoy this album... there´s a song that goes " this is your life are you who you want to be?" and it was so good to be lying on the beach in Spain and reflect on this and know that yes! yes I am! Do I mess up? oh yes! do I make mistakes? yes! Do I hurt others and myself? goodness yes.. is it hard sometimes? incredibly but do I have grace? AMEN! do I have a Lord who loves me? Hallelujah!! As I listened to this song.. it was so good to know without a doubt in my heart that YES I am who I want to be! Is thht because I´m perfect?... NO!!!! But I know Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I have peace in any storm and a love that consumes me...I have a friend when all others leave.. i have a lover who loves me when I´m bitter, tough, mean, joyous, patient, whatever the circumstance... and I am following what I know to be His will for me to the fullest that He enables me... and that I am able.... and THAT makes me say yes.. I am who I want to be... are there things that I would change about me? Sure... but I´m human!
I pray taht whoever you are... that you would seek this.. .for now.. my time is up at the locotorio.. tiem for dinner! :) Love you much!
Shalom!
