honesty

I can't quite describe to you what transition I am in. I have felt more distant in my faith while being in Ecuador. In the first few weeks my reading was good but still was lacking depth. I needed more than just my own time of reading and prayer. I am so excited to have talked with some of the group members and start up a bible study next week. I had an incredible chat with another believer last night, my friend Jen and we both agreed that we have been found wanting. We are hungry, thirsty, and he will satisfy those that thirst and hunger for righteousness. I am so happy to have other believers around to be in fellowship with. I am in a completely different season of life right now and it is great to have times of growth and hardship. I want to be a servant in the hard times, when it's difficult. I want to honor God with my life even when I don't feel him directly like I have in the past. In the desert times are when faith can truly grow. Through tribulations understanding will deepen.
In the past I have had the power of intercession of dreams prayed over me. Last night I had two of the most convicting and powerful dreams I have ever had. I think its time for me to wake up and utilize my time here more wisely. Pray that I am given the words to say when necessary and posture of prayer always. I pray that I glorify my father with every thought and action.
My semester group is thirsty, they are hungry for a real God. They are hungry for our Father. I pray that they will encounter Jesus.
