After renewing the visa to the end of 2013, pay rent, buy food, pay the college tuition the money started getting short again ....
I started looking for something that I could do to make some money. The question is this, who's coming to Canada need a specific visa. My case is the student, so I can not work in Canada, only study. This
makes things more complicated, because I do not want to do illegal
things, do not think right, and the bible says in Romans 13:1-7: "Every man is
subject to the governing authorities because there is no authority but
of God ... ...I believe God has a plan for me, and I do not want to mess up this plan by doing things that go against God's word. Because
I also believe that "If you listen carefully to all that the Lord our
God is telling you and if you faithfully obey all his commandments, God
will make them more powerful than any nation in the world. Obey the Lord
God and
He will give all these blessings: .......... Deuteronomy 28 continues
talking about the blessings that God will give us if we obey His word.So why take the risk, David said "God protected us thus far will not be now that he will abandon us" ...
With that thought I was talking with the pastor of the church that I go, on "working". I had to know what was the advice he would give me. We seek from God a few weeks, I've been talking to him many days, because
I was at the church helping out with youth ministry, and any volunteer
that came along I was present. Then
a further meeting with the pastor he said that I could "help" people
with certain things and these people could "help" me with the money.
Great
idea, I started looking for some things to do, so I worked on a water delivery company,
delivering newspaper sometimes with Arides I was helping him build some houses, a good thing I'm doing is cleaning the church I
try to go 2 times a week to clean and they "help" me with the money,
this time a football team called BC Lions came to the summer camp in town. I found a great opportunity to make some money .... I
was training with the football team called Broncos the coach was my
boss when I used to work at the university by selling things from the team,
thank you Duncan for all that you did by the way.
We
help the staff's from this team to unload the truck, and ride the locker room, detail the BC Lions won the championship last year at CFL (Canadian Football League), so these guys are important ...
Talking
to an employee, I told him my situation, I
said I wanted to help them, and asked if they could help me with
something.
It
took about 3 days, but I started helping during the pracitce to prepare water and
gatorate, and delivering to the players, was a wonderful experience, but
they did not pay me cash, but one very important thing I could do, eat
.. .. Eat for free hahaha always a good deal, and further Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and take some home, great ......
I worked helping the trainner coach who is also a Christian and ended up giving me
some training to prepare myself for the season that start in October ... lol Happily
went back to training hard, after spend three weeks with professional football players, I changed my mindset a little bit about
the training ... I'm training a lot harder ...
This month I got my U.S. visa, I have 10 years of free enter the U.S. ... Glory to God .. lol I have some projects to do there next year ...
Also I had experience in babysitting (hehehehehehe) I was taking care 2 little girls from Brazil.
On Sunday August 5th, I received another miracle of God, a person who
moved to Kamloops 3 weeks ago offered me $ 1200 dollars. God is good!
I'm about to start building a house but have to wait a few details, will be a good help for me.
The first week of September I'm
going to Abbostford, still do not have the
money to pay all the rest of the semester, but I believe that God will
open doors ... "help \ work", or offering!
This weekend I will start cleaning another church, Will be a good bless to have more this help!
Living by faith is not easy, it is sometimes painful, sometimes it's hopeless. Many
people want to see the impossible of God, but do not change their life,
remember that you will have the same results if you keep doing the same
things, this applies in all areas of our lives. If you want something different, do something different, your life can change a lot, and surprise you!
I'm
living this change, and I am growing in all areas of my life, but I had
to make a decision, I had to take the step of faith and leave Brazil with
nothing, only trusting that God is in control of my life, and that He will supply all my needs. And on Sept. 15 I will make 1 year in Canada .... lol
Next week I'll post some pictures and tell a little about the goals for the next month, and more miracles from God ...
Stay conected!!
