Baby, no te preocupes

Hey ya'll. Haven't written in a while 'cause...I went-a CAMPING! It was an interesting experience that allowed me to observe different every day relations between co-workers, between employee and employer, between teacher and student and between classmates.

But, I won't talk about that now. Here is a new devotion to start the week of right.

I am less than one week from turning in my 22 page investigation paper and really excited to be done and share all that I've learned. It's been a fulfilling process that has allowed me to grow, learn and see something new in this world. This week will be the final one that I've got to spend 96% of it working or else... (Insert dramatic music).

Today's devotion comes from Exodus 4:1-5 and talks about Moses' encounter with God in the zarza ardiente (burning bush). These verse specifically relate to the time when he asks God saying "—¿Y qué hago si no me creen ni me hacen caso? ¿Qué hago si me dicen: "El Señor no se te ha aparecido" ?/“What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you’?”

And God answers with a "What do you have in your hand?" <--- This is an interesting question...answering a question with a question...God was up on his Socratic Method teaching style.

Moses shows him the staff (vara) and God proceeds to show him that with this very vara, Moses will be able to show them that indeed God showed Himself to Moses.

     So now, what is that in your hand that can be used for God's glory? It's less about worrying about the future or lamenting on the past, we've got to see the present and the things God has surrounded us with to seguir haciendo his work. Supongo que en this light, I don't need to worry, nor should I, about the future and what is to come. I can focus on what God has put before me and trust Him to take care of anything that is to come...I mean, that's what He did for Moses; I'm sure He can do it for me.

From one moment maker to another,

Te dejo en paz...much love, peace and elbow grease.
