While I was in Lima, Peru I believe God’s hand was in my life and the others around me. I say that because amazing things were happening. The biggest thing I learned was God is so powerful and He really can move mountains if you allow Him to. I needed Him to that week and He did. Well, He did not exactly move mountains, but close enough. On January 11th I was supposed to be getting on a plane home, but I could not. You see, that was the day that the skies opened up and poured a ton of snow down on the USA. Every state besides Florida was covered in white. So the Atlanta airport was closed and my flight was canceled (it never snows in Atlanta!). I was stuck in a third world country without my parents! I was so scared I got sick, I was not prepared for more time in Peru, but like I said God’s hand was in the trip. I posted on my blog that I wanted to stay in Lima right before I went to pack my things for the trip (be careful what you wish for)… little did I know how powerful God is because I stayed five more days in Lima and got to go back to the slums and make more connections with the children. God stretched me even more in that next week. God used me to work in others lives the first week, but the second week he tore apart my life and made it all new again. He showed me two things that I needed to do when I got back home, and when He knew that I would do them no matter what, he sent me home. Not even ten minutes after I told God yes did I get the phone call that I got a plane ticket. God works in amazing ways! Doesn't He? Thursday, February 17, 2011
Proof of the Omnipotent!
