Job 1:21


21 and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
    and naked I will depart.
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
    may the name of the Lord be praised.” 
Job 1:21

I honestly dont even know why i picked this verse. Im not even there in my walk yet; im barely learning and trying to give away my relationship and feelings to God. But i want to be there, this verse helps me to put matters into perspective. Here i am, week 1 of training, trying to hold on to my relationship and my extreme deoendance on my parents. And there i'll be be in week -------, completely wrecked and humbled, and ready to ask God what He wants me to give away to him next. Because i'll learn that there is no safer place than His hands.
But im not there yet, and i won't be if i don't start walking. I'm stuck in not wanting to give to God what He's askinsg from me right now. He knows where i'm at and what I can do and what I can't. Yet It's me that is not letting the process go on. I don't need to wait until week whatever to be completely wrecked and humbled. I just need to do what God's asking from me NOW. He'll tell me what I need to give away next, or He'll just allow for it to be taken from me, like He did with with Job. I hope I'll be able to bless His name in the middle of the process, or in all the process for that matter. Because He is perfect and knows better.
And It's time for me to listen.

I am dust, and so is everyone else

13  As a father shows compassion for his children, So  the  Lord  shows compassion for those who fear Him. 14  For He knows our frame; He remembers that we  are  dust. Psalms 103:13-14 I am not a parent. The closest thing I've ever felt to worrying about my child is worrying about my students. I'm sure it's not nearly as close as I would feel about my own kid, but whenever I see my students hurt or worried it PAINS me. And don't get me wrong, my students are far from perfect, and honestly sometimes they deserve what they are getting, because it's a consequence for their acts, yet i still feel compassion  for them. It's difficult for me to think that God feels the same way about me. I sometimes believe that he expects perfection from me since I should know better and all the tools I need to live a Christian life are found in the Bible. But since He is my father, he actually KNOWS me. He knows me beyond the mask that I put on. The fact that he know

Teaching at Kids Club about our good God

4Cuando oí estas palabras me senté y lloré, e hice duelo por algunos días, y ayuné y oré delante del Dios de los cielos. 5 Y dije: Te ruego, oh Jehová, Dios de los cielos, fuerte, grande y temible, que guarda el pacto y la misericordia a los que le aman y guardan sus mandamientos; 6 esté ahora atento tu oído y abiertos tus ojos para oír la oración de tu siervo, que hago ahora delante de ti día y noche, por los hijos de Israel tus siervos; y confieso los pecados de los hijos de Israel que hemos cometido contra ti; sí, yo y la casa de mi padre hemos pecado. 7 En extremo nos hemos corrompido contra ti, y no hemos guardado los mandamientos, estatutos y preceptos que diste a Moisés tu siervo. 8 Acuérdate ahora de la palabra que diste a Moisés tu siervo, diciendo: Si vosotros pecareis, yo os dispersaré por los pueblos; 9 pero si os volviereis a mí, y guardareis mis mandamientos, y los pusiereis por obra, aunque vuestra dispersión fuere hasta el extremo de los cielos, de allí
