wine and the wineskins

Sat, 09 Jun 2012 06:28:00 -0400

Our graduation was last night.

A man gave a word about Matthew 9, about wine and the wineskins.

That new wine must be poured into new wineskins.

We must be transformed that the He can fill us.

If not, we will break, we will not be able to do our job, what we were intended for.

The problem is not the wine, it is never the fault of the wine, but instead it all depends on the condition of the wineskin.

I do not know if I mentioned, but when I went to the very first service when I arrived in January to Pichilemu, Chile, the pastor spoke on Acts 2. (click me and lets go back eight months)

God is a God of confirmation.

Ask me about what my God did the next time you see me, I would love to grab coffee and talk.

These 5 months made me fall even more in love with Him.

My God can do anything.

My God is always faithful.

My God is a God of wonders.

And all I want in this life is to be filled with His sweet wine.

“Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Jenny, I have been drinking your coffee and thinking of you. Colombian coffee is the best. And someday I wan´t to drink it IN Colombia with you. I miss you so much. I miss your stories, your wisdom, and your calming presence. I hope God is moving in your life right now and can´t wait to hear stories when we both get back to Pichilemu. Stay strong woman.

He estado Tomando tu cafe y pensando en ti. Cafe Colombiano es lo mejor. Y algun dia quiero tomarlo EN Colombia contigo. TE EXTRAÑO MUCHO. Extraño tus historias, tu sabiduria, y tu presencia calmada. Espero que Dios se este moviendo en tu vida en este momento y no puedo esperar escuchar tus historias cuando regresemos a Pichilemu. Mantente Firme Mujer!

You know those days you want to be able to always have in your back pocket so you can pull it out and re-live it whenever you want? This was one of those days.

The day after my birthday we went to a town out in the country to spend time sharing with the community and that evening we had a service with dramas, preachings, etc. The family served us lunch and we spent time talking with them and their neighbors. Oh, and they had a pet monkey. Best thing ever? Yeah.

Journal Entry November 28th, 2011

Tue, 01 May 2012 15:28:14 -0400

Whenever I fill up my journal, that day I sit down with a cup of coffee and read through the whole thing cover to cover. This is one of the entries I found from this past November.

Most of us go through life,

just plodding through our average lives.

Climbing over a couple rocks, enjoying a few nice trails.

Hardships, sure. Blessings, sure.

But what kills me is that we have the risen Lord walking beside us.

Sure we would say that we know this, but do we know this?

The few of us who actually live as though the risen Lord walks beside us, those are the few of us who begin to experience what we were intended to experience.

We begin to see the world shake.

“Indeed we felt that we had recieved the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.”

a rest in the high places

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:01:52 -0400

This past weekend I went with a couple of my team members to two communities about four hours from Santa Cruz. We worked with the kids and youth there, and on the way back down stopped in a town whose name means “a rest in the high places”. It was gorgeous.

and so we traveled
