i´m coming back now.
actually i will be finishing packing my bags, hopefully getting a little sleep, and then i will be coming. i leave in about 12 hours, whoa! too soon. tonight i got to go to the church out in torrejon tonight to say good bye to my friends out there. i really love those guys, and i wish that i had spent more time with them while i was in madrid. the guy that spoke tonight is just an awesome man, and though i didn´t catch everything, i understood enough. he was speaking on abraham and when he was told to sacrifice isaac. the bit of gold i grabbed from the message was that the cost of following God is everything. it´s everything. abraham was told to take his son, his ONLY son, and sacrifice him. the speaker went on to say that when you understand the ways of God, the cost of everything, is nothing. with God to lose, is to gain. to give, is to receive. to serve, is to be served. profound, yet simple.
afterward i met with david and some friends to say goodbye. im not incredibly good at good byes, and my lack of ability to speak spanish very clearly doesn´t help; nonetheless, i have met some really incredible people here, and i am going to miss them all.
i really cant ask enough for your prayers. i am still learning, still hurting, still stumbling along, still searching. in just one moment i have realize how far i have yet to go. i am looking foward to this coming week at ihop. it´s exactly what i want to do right now. please pray for me! i am weak, poor, and lost.
when i get in tomorrow night i will have cell phone service, so feel free to call if you want. and please dont be offended if i dont answer or return you calls for a day or two as i recover from the jet lag.
...to hurt, is to heal. to be last, is to be first. to die, is to live...
