that could have been awkward

Have you ever thought you would connect with something that seemed so obvious; then were let down to find out, it wasn't going to happen.  You could force it, but you knew it would just remain awkward.  I (Denise) knew that coming to Spain would be difficult as I am not an intern.  Where would I get adult conversations and the mom-friend reassuring your-not-alone talks?  So February came and the novelty of Spain wore off and I hit a low.  I was lonely; probably more than I ever have been before!  I was feeling, well, I was bitter about how I just did not seem to be connecting with the g42-thing.  I was really excited for the amazing and powerful messages and speakers Mike was hearing from.  Could I please hear more than the Noah-story-as-told-to-preschoolers for once??!!  Then, as March was happening my friendship began to grow with an amazing woman who I met through Rosalia's ballet class.  Not only for me, but also a friend for Lia!  She and her family are waiting on the Lord, through prayer and petition, for literally where to place their feet next to serve God.  And church!  Wow!  I had not even once thought about attending church while in Spain.  I thought I would be 'all set' since I was a part of a group already.  Gathering with others to open the Holy Bible and hear the Word of God being shared.  Worshipping with Spanish words but the Holy Spirit present is how we are as one.  HE who can allow us to connect regardless of barriers; for HE is the one true God.  Over all the Earth.  God will give us what we need; but it may not be where we are looking.  If we ask and seek; are we ready to look for the answer somewhere else? 




Was it you who prayed for me?!  I had given up on myself; but you didn't and HE most certainly never will. Gracias.
