Let us seek the LORD speedily

Zec 8:20-23 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you."

I have really been blessed by reading in Zechariah this week. After reading the above passage I thought, wow, what if we as Christians were known for going "speedily to pray before the LORD and to seek the LORD of hosts"? I wonder what effect it would have on our world? What if we were so close to the LORD that people would come up to us, grab us by our shirt, and say, "we're going with you because we have heard God is with you." I am going to be praying that God would make me a woman who prays speedily, who seeks him speedily. What an influence we can have!

God is so good. He gives so much grace. This past week has been a good one, as they all have been. His grace has been so obvious. He gives energy I don't have and wisdom I don't possess.

On July 18th La Molina Christian Schools is going to have a huge celebration called Fiestas Patrias (Peruvian Independence Day). Please pray earnestly for the program this year. This year the program will involve a 5-6 scene play about a Peruvian and the choices he makes during his life. More than previous years, this play will carry a powerful, watershed message. The essense of the play is the message that the little choices you make in life WILL affect your future and the future of Peru. Please pray the Lord will bring conviction to the hearts of the parents who come; they are the audience. Pray the Lord will save souls through it and convict those who are struggling to live for Christ. We only have about 4 weeks to put this production together from start to finish. Pray the Lord will help us put it together in a way that the MESSAGE of the play comes through "loud and clear."

I was sick two weeks ago, but praise the Lord I think I am completely well.

Here are some more pictures from a few weeks ago just for fun. :)
