Abraham's Faith

I am reading through Romans right now and am so encouraged with Abraham's faith. God spoke to him and Abraham believed what God said and did not doubt. He trusted in God's Word and knew that He would do what He said He would do.
Rom 3:18-22
When God promised Abraham that he would become the father of many nations, Abraham believed him. God also said, "Your descendants will be numerous as the stars," even though such a promise seemed utterly impossible! And Abraham's faith did not weaken, even though he knew that he was too old to be a father at the age of one hundred and that Sarah, his wife, had never been able to have children. Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise.  In fact his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was absolutely convinced that God was able to do anything he promised. And because of Abraham's faith God declared him to be righteous.
**Lord, please help me to have faith like Abraham. Please help me to be absolutely convinced that You will do anything you say even when circumstances and obstacles arise please help my faith not to weaken! Amen!
 You see, I do know that God is able...but sometimes when you look at your own life and see the obstacles it is easy to let those circumstances speak. But I am choosing to not allow them to speak any longer. You see God called me to this school to learn Spanish, which means He will help me to learn this language and He will provide for all of my needs and He is going to show me exactly who and where to be working with afterwards and HE will provide the funds and avenues then too. Why? Because He said, He is God! He is able!


Tomorrow marks my very last day in my first trimester at school! Wow, it feels like it has been super short yet long at the same time if that makes any sense! I am thankful for my time here and feel content with my progression so far however a desire and drive to learn so much more. We have just about 2 weeks before we begin our second trimester...and right now just about everything is shut down here because its "holy week." All the kids are out of school and many offices and businesses are closed even though the only real official statutory holidays are Thursday and Friday here. I will be heading up to ****where the kids soup kitchen is to play with some kids...there is no actual lunch being served this week or organized ministry happening due to the week long festivities.
This past weekend we had a "clothes sale" from donations that were made through a church youth group that was just here on a mission trip and some others to raise funds for the soup kitchen. Here are a few pictures from this past weekend (trying to get better at taking more pictures to share.) 

On the last note, I am so excited to share that my step sister, Ashley will be here on Saturday. She will be here with me for 1 week and I can hardly wait! :) I can’t wait to spend time and have fun with her! GRACIAS A DIOS!
