Returning to the Past – 39th Part

Upon arriving in New York, I was in expectation of getting right to work.
It was the first time that Julio was responsible for a region. I was only 24 years old, but my faith was burning inside of me.
Those prayers upon the Altar were worth it. I was full of vigor, this is of course, of peace and decision. I was no longer like before, peaceful and waiting for others.
The struggles that we go through in life teaches us how to discover the faith we have, that normally is dormant and peaceful when there is no “push” from the problems.
Now I was quite different!
Our children went with us, thank God. We had the opportunity to have them close. I had to enroll in school close to home.
I remember this time very well. Julio’s meetings were so different, so good and so revealing, that when I was not attending the meeting, I was thinking, “what is being talked about today?”
I felt like I was missing out when I was not at the meetings. But it was almost impossible to be close to him every day, because again, we lived far away, about a 45-minute drive to the church.
Remember that we, who are on the Altar, do not choose where we will stay. We are only given the responsibility and the house, and there we must bear the consequences.
What the Altar requires the most of us is for us to be used with all our lives. Our whole life is surrendering our will, our dreams, etc.
At this time, in New York, I told Luis and Vera to always pray for their documents. Vera was the one who heard me the most.
Because I saw Luis and Vera’s need, I also wanted to put all my strength to create a Sunday school with the best conditions for the children. I started out of my own responsibility to make have a bazaar to raise funds.
Next week I will tell you more.

I have learnt that the more challenges or problems we face the more we become close to God. We should put our lives on the altar and surrender our All to God.

Sometime the opposite occurs, that the harder the situation the further they see the impossible and the faith fades, But as Mrs you ve said about the prayer on the alter.., True! the faith increases only when our lives is on the alter there we only look to God. Total surrender and dependence on the Lord.

Good Day Mrs
Thank you very much for this post, one of the many things I have learned from you Mrs is that you are a true woman of God and that you have laid your life to be used by God. Nothing to you matted than to bless the work of God ,some of the things you did,you shouldn’t have done as a “pastor’s wife” but you did anyway because you are not just a pastor’s wife but a servant of God, thank you Mrs for being such an inspiration to me and more ladies around the universe.
