Becoming a Woman of God

The past couple days have been challenging, but amazing for my growth in all areas. Satan has been attacking me and trying to distract me from my mission here in Guatemala. But he will never defeat me because God is making me so strong. I have decided to not let myself be effected by lost people back home. God has blessed me so much here, his faithfulness is indescribable. At the orphanage on friday I met this amazing young 14 yr old girl, named Marian, who is so smart and compassionate. She is supposed to be adopted soon and her future father came to visit on friday. He doesn't know any spanish, so it was so exciting to be there and be able to translate between this amazing american pastor and his future daughter. Saturday was tough, because the midterm was very difficult, but the waterfall made up for it. Our group hiked up a very intense trail to a 20 ft waterfall. Then we all jumped off it! It was incredible and I know it will be something I'll never forget. God is just constantly blessing my life even during the emotional times I feel him working. Being here stretches me so much. Tonight in devotions our group talked about how pride is the number one sign of immaturity and the value of humility. I confessed that my problem has been misunderstanding the difference between humility and getting walked over. I tend to give all of my self and love/trust a person without protecting myself. I realized tonight that I am finally taking care of myself. I can feel myself becoming a stronger woman of God. I read Proverbs 31 every day here because I desire to strive to become that kind of woman more than anything. Please pray for my spanish class, I am struggling to get through it, but I know if I work hard and trust that God will get me through I will succeed. AH! God is so good! I feel myself falling more and more in love with him every day. I love it! Even though the past 2 weeks have been extremely emotional I know God is teaching/growing me into the woman he wants me to become. :) Gloria a Dios! Mi esperanza esta en Cristo no en el hombre. <3
