God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life. 

Psalm 54:4

What a present God we serve.  He reminds me again and again how one thing matters - being with Him. From that place I can go about the rest...
Like most, we're full of ideas for what we can do this year. God's Word to me yesterday was again His question of: WHO do you want to be? 

We are so thankful for the refreshing, precious time in Ohio.  Though there were many we didn't see in person, we're glad we did see some and some via internet.  It really was a blessing to have focused time with my parents, brother and sister (and fam).
It is good to be back, but, of course, it's always a transition. We're trying to adapt and re-adjust especially with Liam at home (school's all online at the moment) and getting into a routine with three little ones and trying to work in office-time.  
We took a short online time-management course and made these color-coded general schedules.  They're flexible, but have been helpful as we look to this year and write out goals and vision.  Xaume is ambitious as usual. But we'll keep working towards things a day at a time.  Keep praying, above all, for us to be led by the Holy Spirit.

Tenacity, the video tutorial website, as well as writing and publishing Twist Kids' Club materials are among the main projects for the year.  Thanks to your generous giving, we were able to pay for another part of the web design process. 
And, we are happy to have found a graphic designer who will be working with us for a great rate.  She's already set about her first tasks (above.)

I will try to detail more next time, but for now I'll leave it at that. Thank you so much for reading and for being in our lives! We thank God for you.

Time

Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise—  making the most of the time, because the days are evil.    -Ephesians 5:15-16 God gave me a word for each month this year and February's word was TIME.  The goal: listening AND OBEYING His direction for how to spend time. He knows best - so yielding to His Word has been a challenge since I often think I know what needs to be done and when. But it's so refreshing when we do obey and get to experience His perfect wisdom!   Pray for these ones to continue to grow in their knowledge and walk with God! This past month... Crece Church Plant News:  Two women (mother and daughter) were baptized - expressing their desire to follow Christ completely.  Despite all her nerves and wanting to back out, Imara taught her first time on a Sunday morning! She was baptized last February. (Brayan also preached this month - we continue to encourage ones to let themselves be stretched and u...

Persevere!

Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer .   -Romans 12:12 This word hit me hard at the women's retreat we attended at the beginning of the month. After my "I-don't-want-to-suffer" breakdown, God sweetly reminded me of His heart: Rejoice in the love of my salvation! It's not the suffering we're called to, but the perseverance through it to produce in us the joy and privilege of getting to walk WITH Him... And along the way we get to accompany others - praying  that they encounter Him!  Moments like this - even when just a few take look at God's Word - are glimpses of hope. Pray with us for these ones to hunger for more, seeking after Him with all their hearts! Many are facing family difficulties, pursuing false gods (namely, "la muerte"/ saint death), struggling with addictions, violence, apathy, etc. This month we had a couple good times with some of the Twist and Crece church leaders.  Special praise for Karla as she h...

Pressed

“We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ It’s been a tough month. Good things but also some heavy pushback, spiritually. I’ve been prayerfully aware of the weight of this area we’ve targeted to minister in: Ecatepec. The name literally means “hill of the god of the air.” We know there’s quite a stronghold of the enemy in the region. And though it often feels like we’re working a pickax, we’re thankful  that His praise is the constant. And for the promise that we WILL NOT BE CRUSHED.  Highlights:  Worship night at Karina’s  home  (just two blocks from Crece church)  this Saturday night!  It was a great  time for the young people to come together, have some good hang out time and then mov...
