2 MIRACLES!!! One of them is me writting again lol

Whats up everybody... way way way to long since I updated lol well ive been superduper busy and alot of stuff has been happening

it was just hard to find time to sit down and write cuz like seriously it takes me hours to put my toughts together and write something like this lol But a MIRACLE just happend... and I had to come share with my friends that I loveeee!!! check it out, its kind of long but just look at how awsome our God is:)

 

Well I was kind of down this month.  My team here in church has a missions trip at the end of the month to peru and i really reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly wanted to go but because im not legal yet I couldnt sooooo i was super sad because of that,  and then the church started helping with my situation. the church's lawyer was trying to find a way for me and we found out that it was worse than i tought, so i had to leave the apartment that i was living in with the other interns because it could get the church in trouble

soooo i was sadder and the more and more we looked into it the more and more bad news we got.  at the beggining of this week, the lawyer of that church that was helping me with things, talked with my step fathers lawyer in new york that wer paying to handle the case and that lawyer in New York told him that i had no more hope of getting anypapers before im 21... so i wouldnt be able to get them trough my step father like we where trying, sooo my lawyer gets really sad, he talks to one of my pastors here and theyr both just praying about it, but like really sad because they couldnt do anything to help me

 

so then on wednsday... on our prayer time in the morning, i open the Bible and im going to psalms but like God just put the book of Job in the way and made me read it lol.  job 38 i think.  the title of the book was...the Lords response to Job (and i had been praying about all this bad things that had been happening to me for months lol)

1Then the LORD answered Job from the storm:

2"Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words?

3Brace yourself, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.

4"Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?

Tell me, if you know so much. 5Do you know how its dimensions were determined and who did the surveying?

and He went on like that for like 2 chapters... He like flat out told me lol....U BETTER BRACE YOSELF BOY and He started speaking to me...who r u to question the things that I do??? why do u worry about the things that are happening to u? Y do u try to take control of stuff when U know im God and im in control of everything!  Hes like stop crying and have faith in Me!!!!  sooo like, after that we had a meating with one of the pastors...  and he was sharing with us about ephesians, how its like a love letter to us.. its God saying how much he wants to bless u.  he wants to pour out blessings for us and stuff.. sooo i was like recebo recebo!!!

 

and then in the afternoon.... we had a meeting with the pastor thats directly over us, and he came in there kind of frustrated.  he was like, I love u guys, i dont want to come out like im being hard on yall, but.... theres just way to many problems here that we're giving up on God for..we're not believing in God to provide with miracles like wer suppose too...we're not praying hard enough..we're not standing in faith enough, and we're not wrestling with God enough for our blessings --- because almost everybody has a big issue with like finances and stuff...

 

sooo he takes us to genesis 28 or 38 i think --- PENIEL!!!! soooooo he reads how jacob was wresstling all night until he got his blessing right. hes like, we havent been doing that.  we gotta get more fired up for God then everrrrr!  we gotta get on our kness and fight for our blessings UNTIL WE GET THEM!!! no matter how long it takes or wat may happen to us cuz jacob got struck on the hip and got hurt and stuff right?  sooooo his like, U guys have to start fighting nowwww!!!  until all our needs are meet!!!  we have a God that wants to provide for us and wer not believing enough in it!

 

soooo wwe start praying and like FIRE came down!!! everybody was SCREAMMMINGGGGG... shouting as loud as they could, crying, just blasting in tounges as loud as we can.  im like on my knees on the floor with my face on the ground screaming like i was getting my toes hit with a hammer lol... like it started out as tounges, and then it became just this big hollywood war movie type of scream like......

woooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

hehehehehehe .. sooo we did that non stop for like 30 or 40 minutes

the prescence of God was soooooooo powerful!  sooo we finish of the day and stuff, i go home.. im laying in bed, and i here my mom talk to my step father and she starts saying...

O QUEHHHHH

(whattt???)

SERIOOOO

(really???)

NAO ACREDITOOO

(i cant believe it)

SE TA BRINCANDOOOOO

(ur kidding me)

 

she walks in my room and she tells me.....

leo...

his lawyer in new york just called saying that he got a letter on the mail saying that he was APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sooo that means that in 60 days i WILL in Jesus name be getting a work permit and a social security card and stuff meeaaaning

 

i will be legal here!!!!!

 

monday.... that same lawyer told my lawyer that it wouldnt happen for another like 2 years... that it had no chance of him getting that before september when im 21

 

but our AWESOME God did some supernatural stuff.. that made a paper that was taking 5 years to come out (and was supposed to take like 2 or 3 more) show up out of nowhere!!!

 

GOD IS SOO GOOD!!!!

 

and wait....theres more :)

sooo the next day me and my mom go to church to have a meeting with our lawyer....  and he was gonna tell us all this bad news that the lawyer in ny had told him on monday.... he didnt know wat had happend yet, sooo he gets there looking all sad and stuff and we tell him wat happend, and he like starts crying and praising Jesus!!!!! his like, "this is a miracle!!!!" soooo hes like supper happy and stuff and we prayed... then we go tell this other pastor that was helping me and stuff, and he is almost crying tooo.. i tell my group and they all like supper happy tooooo... and then i tell my pastor and he's super dupper happy!!!

 

BUT there was still another issue

 

the bill for those papers and the lawyer in NY... came up to 7,500 dollars or somthing... 7 thousand is alot of money --- like alot more money that we actually have.  sooo im like, pastor the fighting still continues, i still gotta wrestle because we dont have this money.  he takes a copy of the bill, says he will be praying for me.  3 hours later i see another pastor, the one that was praying hard for me and stuff, he says that he saw the billl, he prayed about it , and his gonna give me 2 THOUSAND DOLLARS to help us out!!!  he said that he wanted to pay the whole thing but there is just not enough money... he says that if he could he would for sure and he says that we're still believing for God to help us with the whole thing... soo the church is giving me $2,000 and paying this lawyer here that was helping me!!!

 

God is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooooooooood

praise Jesus praise Jesus praise Jesus

 

So thats my miracle story

the praying still goes on

God will provide!!!

Never let circumstances determine the size of you faith!!!

Miss you guys

Love u guys

Strong tower


When I wander through the desert
And I'm longing for my home
All my dreams have gone astray
When I'm stranded in the valley
And I'm tired and all alone
It seems like I've lost my way

I go runnign to Your moutain
Where your mercy sets me free

[chorus]
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek

In the middle of my darkness
In the nidst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul

About me!

Well for all of my friends that still dont know, this is my testimony in a nutchell..... i was born in a christian family, but at a early age i started to see church and God as a obligation more than a lifestyle that i wanted to live... soo i went to the world and lived life how I wanted to, did everything that I desired, and i did them good, i acomplished everything that i tried...by lying, by cheating by watever means nessecary....and everything would be goood during the day, i would walk around with a huge smile on my face prettending everything was fine, putting up masks soo the whole world could see that i was doing what i wanted to do with my life and I was loving it! but the truth is that everynight i would look at my life and be sad and dissapointed, cuz deep inside i knew that nothing of that was fulling the emptyness in my heart, i was doin everything i wanted too but still i was sad at the end of the day....and i lived like that for a long time until at the beggining of this year I feel into depression, the lowest point of my life...thats when i finally looked for something that was always there in front of me to accept and hold on too...Jesus...nomatter what I did He never left me and He was still there taking care of me...and after all ive done He still forgave me for everything that i did and gave me a new heart and made me a new creature!! 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, HE IS A NEW CREATION: the old has gone, the new has come! AMEN!!!!

and friends, ive gone through alot now in almost 20 years....ive done many things and ive gone trough many things, but nothing! NOTHING comes even almost alil bit close, to the greatness of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ and of the love, faith, and joy He shows us everyday...our God is a awsome God :) and theres nothing better in this world than to live for Him, to live our lives as an offering to Him, because Jesus gave his life for US!!! Lord I may not have much I can offer, but what i have is trully Yours! I will give You my life, because thats all I have to Give because you gave your life for me!!! and nothign in this world compares to You Lord!!

this is song by third day...heheh yeahh i really like third day i know lol but i just relate to it soo much and if i could put everything I just said into a song it would probally come out like this heheh...

Nothing compares - Third day

 

I’ve heard all the stories

I’ve seen all the signs

Witnessed all the glory, yeah

Tasted all that’s fine

 

Nothing compares

To the greatness of knowing You, Lord

Nothing compares

To the greatness of knowing You, Lord

 

I see all the people

Wasting all their time

Building up their riches

For a life that’s fine

 

Nothing compares

To the greatness of knowing You, Lord

Nothing compares

To the greatness of knowing You, Lord

 

"and those words that wer spoken and written by the apostle Paul, apply just as much to us today as it did 2000 years ago when he wrote them, that in our lifes nomatter where we can go, or who we can meet or wat we can see or what we can earn or be giving too, theres nothing in our lifes, that will ever even come close to the GREATNESS OF KNOWING JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!!"!

 

I find myself just living for today

‘ Cause I don’t know what

Tomorrow’s gonna bring

So no matter if I rise or fall

I’ll never be alone, oh no

 

NOTHING COMPARES

TO THE GREATNESS OF KNOWING YOU, LORD

NOTHING COMPARES

TO THE GREATNESS OF KNOWING YOU, LORD

NOTHING COMPARES

TO THE GREATNESS OF KNOWING YOU, LORD

NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU LORD

NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU LORD

NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU LORD JESUS!!!
