Unadultered Praise.
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Psalms 19 (bits and pieces)

Al oir tu dulce voz.

So I'm writing this in my pre-study break meaning I haven't even begun my studying! Anywho, I was just thinking about some things that I've been learning about in these past few days. It's been a mixture of Deuteronomy & God's grace and mercy, Giving, and Love. All three of those things can no doubt be tied together but I've been learning about them in distinct places. I'll focus on giving.

Giving.

God is constantly reminding us to die to ourselves. Why? So that we give and give until there is absolutely nothing left. All those things that we hold dear should be "rubbish" compared to knowing him. If we know him then we know that God's wish for us is to pursue the matters that interest him the most! and what is that? John 3:16. He came for those who are lost. Those who have been saved and redeemed are responsible to help God with that mission. We are called to be fishers of men, a light in the darkness, hope in the midst of chaos. I can think about a million times when I am neither of these. Yet, my heart longs for my heart to be his heart. I think that the more I seek his wants for my life, the more I realize that all of my unimportant goals in life are RUBBISH. He wants me to be his vessel. He wants me to proclaim his good news, heal the brokenhearted, care for the orphans and widows. I am called to serve them. When do I start? Now! I feel like I need to be better about keeping them in my prayers, not just saying "Lord take care of the people in the third world countries"- -I need to weep for them, remember them daily- -instead of daydreaming or wondering what I'm going to do on the weekend.

Give until there is nothing left. Give my time. Give my prayers. Give my money. Give my love. Give my passions. Give my heart and soul to this cause that is so much bigger than me. I am just so excited to see how the Lord is going to use me. Lately, well actually for a while now, I've been just dreaming of working for a non-profit organization like UNICEF, working for Buckner?, Orphanage/Adoption agency. It would be perfect if this were to come true! However, I have no doubt in my mind that whatever is in store for me is nothing short of amazing. It's funny to see how my plans have drastically changed from becoming a Doctor in a private practice to working for a non-profit organization/orphanage with an undetermined salary/or even child psyc! Praise God for showing me that his plans for me will prevail. Men can make their plans, but in the end it is the Lord's plans for us that follow through.

when i think about the Lord

how He saved, how He raised me, how He filled me with the Holy Ghost, how He healed me to the uttermost

when i think about the Lord, how he picked me up turned me around

how He set my feet on solid ground

it makes me want to shout

hallelujah! thank you, Jesus! Lord, you're worthy of all the glory, and all the honor and all the praise!Hallelujah! thank you, Jesus! Lord, you're worthy of all the glory, and all the honor and all the praise!(ephesians 2:4-7, 2 corinthians 5:17)

Una cierta mirada.

"O Sovereign Lord, you have only begun to show your greatness and the strength of your hand to me, your servant. Is there any god in heaven or on earth who can perform such great and mighty deeds as you do?" (Deuteronomy 3:24)

So I know that its not autumn so the picture is irrelevant to the current season, but its not irrelevant to what I want to blog about. So, I feel like God has been allowing so many blessings and so much grace to "fall" into my lap. I'm so undeserving, yet he never ever fails to surprise me with his love for me. Sometimes its so overwhelming! I never do him justice when I try to describe just how amazing he is. This time in my life is honestly a time of receiving blessings that I always wished for in my life. I feel peace, joy, and love surrounding me each and every day. "porque tu mirada puesta en mi, me llena de tu paz."
