I have been struggling lately with an increased hunger and thirst for God's presence. This is a good thing but I still use the word struggling, as my spirit is thirsty but my humanity fights against it with everything it has. We are still in the search for a permanent church home, though you will see in our profile that we currently go to Iglesia Rey de Reyes (King of Kings). That is a contributing factor. Another is my work schedule, consisting of Friday and Saturday nights 7pm to 7am. I do not always make it to church on Sunday morning, although Jesus and Daniel go. We do go as a family on Wednesday night. That has helped a lot. What we are praying for is a church where we can all attend, minister, and be ministered to. The place where I am most comfortable is Englewood Baptist, where Daniel goes to school. Jesus is most comfortable at Rey de Reyes, due to the language thing. (His English is growing by leaps & bounds but he still prefers Spanish for worship.) We are fervently praying for a place that will suit both our needs, wherever that may be. I was praying about this last night and the Word of the Lord spoke to me:

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for righteousness, for they will be filled." Matt 5:6

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13

What a God, and what a promise.
