God Answers Prayers, Even the Little Ones

Dear close friends and friends in general that read this blog. I just wanted to share a cool answer to prayer that Paul and I received a couple of weeks ago. We both had been praying to be able to find a church where we could both invest, a church where we could be involved in. Being a pastor’s kid is super fun and I am feel super blessed to have been born one. However, one of the few drawbacks  is that if your dad is a pastor and especially if he is a Hispanic pastor he will most likely have more than one church at the same time, in this case dad has three. You might think it is a lot. I don’t think so, lol, in Colombia he used to have 15, yeah, and sometimes more than that, all at the same time. Anyhow, going back to what I was saying at the beginning, because dad is the pastor of three churches, most of the Sabbaths Paul and I ended up going to where my parents were going so we could spend some time with them and with the Lord of course, but we were feeling like we were just sitting on the pews and not doing much. It isn’t a good feeling. We both, Paul and I, love to be involved at church. We feel alive when we do. There were times when Paul would go to other churches far away and preach and I stayed. I was happy for him because he was having opportunities to share God with others but I wasn’t there :(. So we both talked and prayed and told God how much we wanted to work together at a church. At the time I couldn’t figure out which church the Lord wanted us to work with and for. I thought about several churches but they were all  SO far and as it is right now Paul and I both travel at least two hours every day to get to our jobs and back home again. Paul even drives longer than that, sometimes three and four hours DAILY :( Soo, I was like “God please, please give us a church, gives a church where we can both work and that isn't too far “ and guess what? Yes, He answered and just two weeks ago mom told us that at one of dad’s churches, Bealeton church, they were wanting to start a youth ministry, a youth church. Without hesitation I said can Paul and I lead the ministry? She said “yes please” After meeting with the youth for the first time we all agreed that our first youth church will meet on April the 20^th. The teens were all very excited and committed. A few days later after we meet with the youth, the first elder from the church came to me and asked me if I thought Paul could help lead the Pathfinder club for the upcoming camporee. I knew Paul’s answer so I said “yes of course”.Yesterday we had our first official meeting with the Pathfinders, Paul taught them drills (Marchas) the basic formations and gave them an overview of what the camporee is going to be like and the different categories we will participate in. They are all very discipled. I was there watching him lead. I even participated in the drills while he led the whole team. They are all under 15 so I am the oldest one but it is ok, It is fun. I like seeing Paul work for God and I enjoy working for the Lord with him. Just wanted to share the latest news and praise God because He answers prayers, the little ones and the big ones.

Ps: I am missing some pics from yesterday's meeting with the pathfinders but I am sure I will be posting some from our upcoming events (youth church and camporee).
