We serve such an awesome God! Encuentro was so amazing tonight! I'll start with the earlier things in my day first though. School..just a regular day. For lunch we had garbonzo bean soup with carrot chunks in it. It's pretty good I don't mind it. However; she gives us a plate with meat pieces on it, and they are SO gross looking! I love meat, but these are half meat, half fat, and they expect us to eat the fat. When we don't eat it, she re-gives it to us the next day. It's not cool! Anyways, for the afternoon we just did homework, and we sat at the plaza outside again. God blessed us with a gorgeous day again! Although, the weather is not looking too great from here on out. After that we went to the grocery store. I bought a chocolate bar! Chocolate is my absolute weakness...I'll admit it. I must have it! After that I did more homework, and then we went to Encuentro. It was Lectus Divinia tonight. It was a time of making ourselves absolutely quiet before God, and letting Him just speak to us They gave us the verses I Peter 5:5-10 to read and meditate on. We had about 15 minutes to reflect, and we all got a pad of paper and pen. We could write or draw or do whatever we felt led to do. This was so cool. I haven't done something like that before. After that we met with a small group to discuss what we found from meditating on that passage. We finished it off with a great praise and worship time. God is so good! I love that I am in my program with fellow believers and that we have Encuentro every week. If you didn't know "encuentro" in spanish means "I meet"...meaning, I meet with God. After that was done, us girls tried to figure out what we're going to do this weekend. It's frustrating because we can't agree on something, and everything is so expensive! We'll see!
