Fulfillment... Chronicle of the Year so Far

In January of this year I had the chance to say good-bye to my mom and my family once again. I had had the joy of spending Christmas at home, and it was now time to get back to South America. I was leaving on a one-way ticket, so I didn't really now when I would get to see them again. My plan was to go to Chile and Argentina for the first semester of the year and Colombia for the second half.

As my mom hugged me good-bye at the airport she said "This is going to be a year of fulfillment for you, the Lord just told me". I thought the word was more to ease my mom's concerns than for me, but I was more than thankful for Papa's affirmation. 

In deed the first half of the year was great! Looking back I have nothing but gratefulness in my heart over His faithful provision and all that I got to do. From staffing the Worldview course, to getting some down-time in Viña del Mar. I travelled through Chile and Argentina seeing His hand upon me every moment. Yet there was some kind of unsettling in my heart about going back home.

I remember one day during my time with God I heard Him say, "You're going back home but not to stay". That could mean so many different things. It was a few days later that I got an email from Leanne about the opportunity at Bethel. I immediately knew that was it, even though the process came through much later.

My mom's word keeps echoing in my heart... a year of fulfillment. I feel like I've live so much this year, and yet I know there is so very much to come still. I will be in Redding a week from today. Things have worked themselves out so smoothly, it's a miracle everyday.

Thank you reader and friend for partnering with me in this adventure, for taking the time to read this, support me, pray for me. I pray for you. I "continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God..." (Colossians 1:9-10)  

Deployment

I'm a word geek. I always had a fascination for knowing where words came from and what the true meaning of them is, which has helped me a lot as and interpreter/translator. So when I was told that I'd be going through the "deployment" program at Bethel for the internship in September, I immediately looked up the real meaning of the word (also because it's kind of a difficult word to translate into Spanish, and many times it's more helpful to get the meaning in the original language, and find yourself the word that applies for the term in the other language).

Deployment: "move into effective action/ move into position for military action."

Loved it!! In September I'm being "deployed" to Bethel, Redding to be positioned into action for the destiny that God has given me. One of the main parts of my assignment description will be to translate the School of Supernatural Ministry material into Spanish. I've done translation for many years and now it seems like at least in part it's for this time, for this assignment. I know there's more to it, and more to the life that God has given me. I don't think I'm "just a translator", but I do believe it's one of the gifts where I've found most favor, and it's opened many doors for me! So I'm very, very thankful! ...and in the midst of it all I get to be a student again; a student of Jesus, a student of miracles... the more I learn the more I realize there's so much more to know!

Saturday I fly back home to Mexico from Alabama. I can't believe the summer has gone by so fast! It was such a blessing to spend time with Leanne Goff (my spiritual mom) and to help develop the Seeing through Heaven's Eyes seminar. I can't believe I get to do be a part of this! God is so good! Isn't it amazing how the connection that God brings into your life just bless you and help you be a blessing to others? I believe the subject of this seminar is crucial in the season that we're in; so if you get a chance buy Leif Hetland's book "Seeing Through Heaven's Eyes" and sign up to listening to what he has to say. Daddy God has given him an incredible revelation that overflows with real love and truth.

Anyways, one step at the time. I'm excited about going home for a couple weeks, getting things ready, seeing my family... eating real Mexican food! :) God is in deed good & faithful!
