Well, this is my third week, and I’m still going strong. I have tons of things left to do, like go to the Volcano Pacaya, visit Lake Atitlan, and See all the sights in Antigua. I just got back from another of those free salsa classes, and as much fun as they actually are, I just am not satisfied with only an hour of really easy dancing. So, I signed up for a private class tomorrow for two hours! I am sooooo excited! I can’t wait, and I would like to do that every week for as long as I’m here – its only about 25 dollars for 2 hours…so good.
Time isn’t really going fast…I feel like I’ve been here forever, but that 5 more weeks isn’t that much time…I don’t know.
Well I took communion last night – It was so wonderful…It was truly one of the most personal, deeply-felt communions I’d ever had. The church is just like any other church, nothing out of the ordinary, but I think it’s a combination of me reading the word more, and relying on God more. My faith has grown only a little, but I’m believing God that it will grow more and as I read His word, that the Holy Spirit will open it up to me even more…
My walk with God has been so much like the story of the men on the road to Emmaus. They heard the truth, and believed it, but the revelation of the reality of the word did not come till later. This has been my Christian life. I have always heard the truth. I have never stopped believing in the Lord, and I’ve always taken the truth of His word to heart. But only recently have I had so much revelation and understanding and connection with the word – only recently have my ears and spirit been opened to the Scriptures, and it has been more wonderful than words can describe. My whole life I have hungered for the things of God, for the truth, and for His presence. Now it is only beginning to become truly real to me.
“Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was [opening] the scriptures to us?”
- Luke 24:32
I pray also that your hearts may burn as mine is, and that we all may have the scriptures opened to us by the Holy Spirit.
