DAY TWENTEY SIX

Wednesday we went to the train station, after Bible study.Where my roommate has been building relationships with these sweet little kids. We sat by the lake and played with them. The barrios line beside the lake, its really... pretty actually. They played with our digital cameras, taking pictures.

And I started thinking about these verses:

And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
(Matthew 18:2-6 ESV)

I loved sitting with those children, playing with them, and thinking to myself, "What can I do to be more like them?" To have a more childlike faith for my Father. To have a more childlike attitude in this life. Those children had such a beauty, a freedom.
How children go to their parents whenever in need, their dependence is on someone else.
   And isn't that how we should be with out Father? Depending on Him for everything, instead of depending on ourselves? How amazing that is, that we have a Father that provides, and wants us to come to Him. For EVERYTHING.

How children have so little worry about "tomorrow', about the future. Playing with bubbles, and putting glitter in someones hair, is top priority.
  And I'm not saying we shouldn't look to the future, but God wants us to trust in Him, so that the future isn't a worry, or burden to us.

Yesterday I  helped with the Jicaro project in the morning. Walked around town trying to finish the light box for Sarah, which is always interesting. I love seeing more about how things are done here, and I like it. Walk into a house, or an alley to find wood, or  get such and such done. Its a different life style, and parts of it are growing on me.

Today we had Bible study, it was completely in Spanish, but it was amazing how God still said what I needed to hear in that time. Afterward I helped sort through some children's ministry supplies.I'm excited to see what is left in the rest of the time that I have here.
