Expectation and excitement taking over!! New life, new phase, many changes ....


Changes, expectations, anxiety, nervousness, ......

These are my days these past weeks, 13 more days for a change in my life, and probably one of the most important here in Canada.
After taking big steps of faith, after doing a lot of "work" to survive, after training hard in the summer, go through moments of concern moments of sadness, but also moments of joy after receiving miracles in my life as the U.S. visa, the extension of my Canadian visa, after getting the money to pay the rents, visa costs and also the tuition costs, now it's time to take another step of faith.
God knows what we need, and we know that He does not fail to feed our needs.
But I also believe that if we want more from God, we have to do more.
In the first months of Canada the church sermons were based on a book called (Circle Maker). It was a very good serie of sermons, but I'm not here to talk about the book or sermons, I want to emphasize that humble and persevering prayer is worth.
Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly asking to not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced fruits. James 5:17, 18.

I would like to put this situation in my life here in Canada.

When I was worried about the visa and where I would play the next season, I decided to humble myself before God even more, without knowing really future days in Canada, but he has sustained me, always placing my plans and dreams in God's hands, this time would be no different.

I decided to pray about some specific dreams and the summer in Canada, to be able to spend the summer without needs.
I prayed about it 21 days, walking around the university, really focusing on obtaining the visa, and scholarship. (But do not mean that the 21 days are special, the important thing is that you make an appointment with God each day for a period of time)
As I said earlier two weeks before my visa expired I could extend it, and still got a place to play.

Now I'm on the same way, waiting for a miracle, yes, but trusting that God will do.

Two weeks fro now will start the classes and the training camp, but I Steel do not have the money to cover the expenses of the university YET. So I decided to put in specific prayer to God.

The week goes beyond, not having money not having things to make this money I need. Always doing something to survive, but waiting an opportunity to build the house.
On Sunday the August 19th I started this purpose.
Not knowing when and how God would do, but BELIEVING that the miracle was in hand.
I got home and as soon as I sat on the bed I received a text message, one guy from the church asking my help for the week, great! job for week guaranteed. On monday getting ready to work with him I received another message from a friend who was waiting also to build this house, he said that we would start this house on Tuesday April 21.

Now with this "work" things will get better, and God blessed me again and I can pay for college and to live by the 4 months of the first semester.

I am very excited to play, hungry to playing, things here were well sweaty and tiring, but looking back I can see many miracles and many lessons life teached me.

Now a new phase is about to begin.

Take steps of faith, but putting things in God's hands,  making a date with him daily, for sure your life will not be the same, I pray in Jesus name that you will be thirst for God!!

Have a great week!
