Day ONE/TWO

At the request of a few people, I'm going to try and keep a blog going. It will probably be short, but I will try and keep things updated. 

I'm staying in Granada, Nicaragua for a month an a half. I'll be living with a married couple that are in their twenties, and another girl that is 21. 

Everything went pretty well planning for this trip, surprisingly well actually. I didnt go through any bouts of nerves, considering how the trip was planned. I knew God wanted me to go back to Nicaragua at some point, only I had no idea which ministry I was to work with, who I was going to work with, or where I would stay. So basically after I returned from my trip to Managua, I  started planning another trip. I knew I was supposed to go somewhere for a month in May. I'll admit, at first I attempted to go to another place I feel called to, Africa, but at the bottom of my heart, I knew God wanted me back in Nicaragua. I found a ministry online, and started things with them. 

 Whenever I tell people, you just found them online? Is usually their response, with a "your crazy" look. "You mean, youve never met them?", "Your going to live with who? Oh, you dont know...." 

Yes.

I know, and it never seemed THAT crazy to me, granted, I have friends in Nicaragua, and our church has people they know, so in case something did happen, I  am not completely alone.

I do not condone this for everyone in anyway.

This could be completely foolish for some people.

But I was sure what God was leading me into. I knew it was right, I had contact with these people, I knew God was saying this is where I need to be.

Until I was about to land in Managua, I had been excited about all of this, then I realized, I cant get out of it. I was scared. What if I was wrong?

Then all these verses came into my head.

Matthew 28:19" Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"

Hewbrews 11:8-10

 ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. ⁹ By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 

Genesis 12 (chapter)

¹ The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

Its all pretty vague, isnt it? Go, and then I will show you. Sometimes I feel like God will leave out details to let us trust Him more. The belief that what He has planned for us IS good, without having to know everything. "the devils in the details" huh?

On another note, I like it here. Some things are frustrating, I need prayers for learning Spanish quickly. It can be frustrating to be out of a conversation for quite sometime. If any of you know me well enough, Prayers for a sense of direction would be nice as well. Within the day and a half Ive been here Ive been pushed to learn directions to my house, and the ministry. But overall its nice, I feel very much like I "live" here already. I was given a set a keys, Ive got a phone, and my own room. Prayers for unity among the people I live with is very much appreciated.
