On Tuesday, I gave my final home group presentation. I have always enjoyed speaking publicly to people but never consistently practiced. There were not many at the home group but summer is always a difficult time. I really enjoyed the closeness that we shared while I was with them. We began with some older praise hymns and ended by sharing homemade popped corn and cheez balls. That's what summer's are made of, right?
It was a great opportunity not only to share my vision for Espana but also to get to know people from Calvary that I had seen but never really gotten to know. I am continually amazed at the kinds of people that the Creator makes and the ways he characterizes himself through our feeble personalities and dispositions. I was happy to be with them and priviledged to experience another opportunity to share his vision.
Pray that I will take the time to hear his vision so that I may know the methods by which he is forming it. I spoke with a business man recently who candidly shared that he has difficulty hearing the words of our Father. I later thought about how we are all so prone to wander and turn a deaf ear. Suddenly, we seem to realize that we no longer hear the sweet whispers of the tender Lover calling us to His side. Maybe we should all schedule "walks" with God.
My dear friends have decided to throw me a "fiesta" fundraiser before I make my journey home. If any of you would like to come it will be Saturday, July 23 at 6:30pm. Comment or use Facebook for directions as I do not want to post the address on the web. There will be African cuisine...I suppose that is a little odd for a Spanish Fiesta but oh well :-) It is delicious food. I hope you can come.
