Lately,

I have been praying that God teaches me to be like Daniel. He was willing to get involved and be an influence for God. Daniel was willing to be used as a tool, even under extraordinary circumstances, he had this excellent spirit in the Lord. Ive found comfort in Daniels faith, he stayed pure in a sinful place, even his enemies concluded that is only weakness was his devotion to God. Even though I am completely willing to be here in Costa Rica and to give out my services and use my talents, I am still afraid! Daniel had complete confidence in the Lord even while he was in jail and in conflict. The Lord blessed Daniel in that.
If I want to come out of Costa Rica with anything, I want to come out with Gods light shining through. I want to be set apart, I want that secret knowing smile that my Lord Jesus Christ is here protecting me and He saved me from my sin. I want to have a greatful heart. The wilderness is where God does His best work, there is nothing random about the afflictions God gives us! I am so greatful for that!
