This is the journey God has taken me , growing up during the civil war in El salvador , coming to the United States as an illegal alien and working in the fields in Washington state to Seminary at Andrews University and using me to minister to those who are suffering .

faith journey
studying a book called " the great controversy " by Ellen white . And studying the history of the protestant reformation and reading how God called different people to serve him. I feel so deep in my heart that God was calling me , I quit my job and started looking for work and trying to find a job that would allow me time to "witness " about God and time to spend with my family ,Sarah was just 4 months old , I couldn't find work during the whole year but somehow God provided for our needs , in 2007 I found work in the field ,picking cherries and apples . Making minimun wage and working in very hot weather outside , 80's and 90's I was able to give bible studies and by the grace of God , I lead a whole family to baptism .2008 ,Hannah was born I applied to Amazing facts college of evangelism , some wonderful people from Washington state sponsor me , we were in weimar , Ca and we did bible work in Lincoln, Ca .2009 I moved to Visalia , I was hired as a bible worker , I told the conference leaders that God had called me to be a Pastor , they say there were no oportunities , after much prayer , we decided to move to andrews University and study a Master in divinity , I had $1000 dollars , after first month of rent and deposit ,I had only $70 dollars in my account . But God has provided for a us , and we are learning to trust in God and believing the promise of Hebrews 13:5 " I will never leave you nor forsake you "

When we are growing up , specially teenagers , we want people to treat us like adults , we don't know what we are talking about , we want the freedom of adults but not the responsibility of adults ! when we grow older , when are parents are gone or when we move to places away from them and we think about our childhood (,usually after we have children .) when we think about our precious moments ,we think about that time when you were crying for something and your Dad or Mom , took you in his?her arms and with love started singing ,carrying you until you fell asleep and then when you woke up ,you forgot all about the "bad experience " The text for today makes me think about those experiences when I was just a child he" LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save , he takes great delight in you ,he will quiet you with his love , he will rejoice over you with singing " Zephaniah 3:17 when I read this ,I thought , God still treats me as a child , and I love it ! So let's go this day and enjoy it , even if things don't go as planned , if things get out of control , he is like the " new Dad " who just saw you when you were born , like that Parent , that decorates the room before his/her child is born , who goes and buy expensive stuff for his.her child . Money doesn't matter ! The price seem very high , but Jesus said " I will pay the price " and " is because he lives " I can face today and tomorrow and the rest of my life !
