I had a really great birthday, I ate some delicious chile rellenos and pan dulce. Amazing things of mexico, really. And yesterday, an amazing hermana gave us the really moist cake that is made with 3 milks and it had like this raspberry stuff on top I donno but cake the the US is terrible. The cake here is so much better. Like I am don't think I will be able to eat cake at home again, haha.
So things have been pretty great here. This morning, I had some serious thoughts about what God is trying to teach me from all this and I am going to try and sum it up really fast.
I am learning to put all of my trust in God. To breathe, to be still and to do all that God asks of me. With all of the things that I have gone through in the passed little while, I finally realized why. If the lesson isn't recognized, God sends us something else until we recognize it. We have to submit our will to his and just do. Do without stopping what we are already doing. Sometimes we don't know why or how or even exactly what, but we just have to do it. Follow the good and we will make it.
A returned missionary shared the story about Leonardo Davinci in church on Sunday, when he was painting the last super. He looked for someone with the characteristics to pose for Jesus, and he found someone. He was a young man, dedicated to God, focused on others and so Leo painted him as Jesus. He one by one found people to pose for each of the apostles, and 19 years later, he was on the last apostle, Judas. He looked and looked. Then he was advised that someone had just gotten out of prison that could fit his role. He went, and sure enough, he asked this man full of evil and pain to pose as Judas. Then he showed the man the painting, and the man began to cry. "I am the one who posed as Jesus 19 years ago". We have to stay constantly on the pathway, with our eye focused on the light. Light cannot dwell in darkness. Christ is the light.
Sorry that was summarized very fast, but I loved it so much.
Love you all
