New Beginnings!

I'm so happy! The Lord has turned my mourning to dancing....literally! My last post was about the hard time I was going through, but let me just say… God doesn't let you go through a hard time forever, He won't let it overtake you, and it's always about learning a lesson and you WILL come out stronger!

I came to the conclusion… (God revealed to me) that it's my choice if I want to be defeated and frustrated with myself, or even nervous for that matter! So I just have chosen to be happy! Haha, it's really as simple as that! Whenever I feel defeated, I just read my Bible or pray and then the Lord just reminds me who I am in Him and for real it's like medicine. I'm %100 better! My reason for being upset was the language barrier, but who cares? I just let it go and if I mess up, I don't care. I can laugh with them, it's pretty funny. Today my grandma was making me some eggs and she asked me if I eat the shell, just being silly…and I was like YEP, it's my  favorite part- being totally serious! Hahaha! Because I thought she meant yoke lol! I've found what when I stop trying so hard and putting pressure on myself I learn a lot more and I ENJOY it!

Tonight in church, I actually understood the whole message haha and it was really awesome! It was talking about that story in the bible where there was this holy water and people would be healed when they went in it, but it happened very rarely! Well there was this crippled man who was waiting to get healed for many many years, but people would always jump in front of him and he would completely miss the opportunity or he would have the chance, but no one would be there to pull him in the water. Well Jesus came one day and saw him, he went over and asked him, "Do you want to be healed?" And the dude said yes. Then Jesus said, "Well pick up your mat up and walk!" So he did! Then my uncle was saying the importance of this is, you  can't let an opportunity go by based on other people's actions. The man waited so many years to be healed because of other people…but all he needed was the Lord.

So what I took out of it is this: I can't let other people's comments, actions, opinions frustrate me. The only thing I need to know is I'm trying my best and Jesus is happy with me!  Another thing I took out of it was that it was the crippled man's choice if he wanted to walk or not. I'm sure that was a nerve-wracking thing, not walking ever to all of a sudden just getting up to obey Jesus! But he did, he didn't let fear hold him back.

I started school today and I LOVE IT! The people are so fun there! For the 1st hour I work behind the desk, then I have class for an hour, then I teach for an hour! My teachers are my age so its a blast! Haha! And every day of the week I have 2 new ones! I love ´´teaching´´ because all I do is talk to them in english and correct them when they mess up!!! Talk about an amazing witnessing oppertunity! We can talk annnnyyyttthhhiiiinnnggg... as long as it´s english! 

Then tonight I started dance! I like it alot, its superrrr easy, but good for working on technique I guess lol! I dance for the first time here on Sun! Can´t wait! Well this place is really feeling like home and I LOVE it here now! I´ve got a schedule again, started working out, and made alot of friends! The joy of the Lord is my strength! :)


Thank you for the prayers!
