Where do I even begin? So much has been happening here in Mexico, not only in the students, but in the hearts of us leaders as well. Well, let's start with this. For those of you who haven't noticed yet (I'm hoping you have) the Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is moving mightily in the hearts of His people. He is bringing us into a place of renewed freedom, a freedom that will allow us to be the people He has called us to be. 

            The other night, we had a certain topic that we were planning on talking about. What it was I don't remember and it doesn't really matter anyway. What matters is that God changed the topic, and we didn't really talk about it, we experienced it. The topic became "freedom" and it was led by the Holy Spirit. As we were worshipping, God laid a burden on me that many of our students were struggling with deep rooted lies and hurts. But before I could say anything, one of the girls spoke up and confessed that she was having a hard time believing that she had been chosen by God. Immediately she was surrounded by other students that were praying over her and speaking Truth into her life. This led to more of the students confessing their struggles and more prayer and Truth. After a while, things calmed down and people began to hug each other and talk about what just happened. But the Lord spoke to me and told me, "I AM NOT FINISHED YET!" As He spoke those words to me, over and over, another girl came up to me and said she felt that we were supposed to pray over her. As we prayed, she said that she was feeling distant from God and she didn't know what to do about it. After she said this, the Lord gave one of the other leaders some powerful words to speak over her. This led to more students being open and honest about their struggles. I wish I could justly describe to you what we were experiencing, but words just don't suffice. 

            It was an amazing night of freedom brought about solely by the mercy and grace of a loving Father. But again, the Father spoke to me and said, "I AM NOT FINISHED YET!" I thought at first that He meant that more was to come that night, but I quickly realized that He meant something much deeper, much more profound than that. You see, He had just begun to scratch the surface of things yet to come. So that is when God told me about the weeds.....to be continued!
