July 7th.. 18 years ago...

My dear friends, brothers and sisters,
I desire to share with you that exactly today, 18 years have passed since, in obedience to the voice of God my family and me moved from Mexico City to Saltillo... We steped in faith. God called us like Abraham, he tooked us out from our natal city, we needed to leave everything behind: job, houses, relatives, relations, we must leave our secure and comfort place...to be able to experiment Him as our rock of refuge... He brought us to a city we didn`t like, where we didn`t know anyone, where we didn´t have anything for sure, the only thing we had for sure was the pomise of God that told us: preach My Word, and I will take care of you....
Here we have learned what is to depend totally on Him and here we have seen how God opens springs in the midst of the desert, He has been with us as fire column and His cloud has guided us and protected us during difficult seasons… we have drunk the water from the Rock, the water of His Word… We have seen how is nessesary to become nothing, because God of nothing does everything, because He uses " the things that are not" to nulify the "things that are" … I identify myself with Moses, he spent 40 years in Egypt thinking he was something, later he had to spend 40 years in the desert to realize he was "a nobody" , but finally he lived 40 years more seeing what God can do with " a nobody". =)
Many people judged us crazzy and even they were expectant of our return to Mexico City, even the demonds were ready to see us fail... the good news are that the one Who called us NEVER FAILS!!! During these years, many have been the battles and the obstacles but until this day I can say EBENEZER. Up to here Jehovah has helped us… He has been faithful.
Today my heart is fill with joy... remembering how He brought us here with mighty hand and how He has molded us and has sustained us in a way we didn´t know, He has fed us every single day with manna from heaven, with HIS VERY living Word!! Thanks I give to God because His mercy is forever... and I share this with you… wishing that your faith does not lack, but on the contrary it would strenght, because the Lord always fulfills His promises, and we know that the plans of God for us are to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future... and Who is our future? Jesus Christ, THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA!!! His is the DESIRE OF OUR HEARTS AND OUR PORTION FOREVER!! AMEN!
Sincerely,
Karla :)

Hoy.. hace 18 años

Mis queridos amigos y hermanos...

Deseo compartir con ustedes que hoy hace 18 años en obediencia a la voz de Dios nos mudamos a la ciudad de Saltillo en plena certidumbre de fe, de que Dios nos habia llamado a esta ciudad. Nos llamó como a Abraham, nos sacó de nuestro lugar de origen y de nuestra parentela, de nuestro confort.... nos llamó a una ciudad donde no conociamos a nadie y donde no teniamos nada seguro.... Lo único seguro era la promesa de Dios de que si predicabamos Su Palabra El se encargaría de nosotros.

Aqui hemos aprendido lo que es depender totalmente de El y aqui hemos visto como Dios abre manantiales en el desierto, como El ha estado con nosotros como columna de fuego y como su nube nos ha guiado y protegido de las temporadas díficiles... hemos bebido del agua de la Roca, del agua de Su Palabra... Hemos visto como hay que llegar a ser nada.. porque Dios de la nada hace todo, porque El usa "lo que no es" para deshacer "lo que es"... Me identifico con Moisés, quien pasó 40 años en Egipto creyendo que era algo, después tuvo que pasar 40 años en el desierto para darse cuenta que era un "don nadie", pero al final vivio 40 años viendo lo que Dios puede hacer con un "don nadie". =)

Muchos nos juzgaron locos y aun estaban expectantes de nuestro regreso a la cd. de Mexico, de nuestro fracaso... muchas han sido las luchas y los obstaculos pero hasta éste de día puedo decir EBENEZER.. Hasta aqui nos ayudó Jehova... El ha sido fiel.

Hoy mi corazón se goza en recordar como nos sacó con mano poderosa y cómo nos ha moldeado y nos ha sustentado de una forma que no conociamos, nos ha sustentado cada día con maná del cielo, con Su PALABRA VIVA!!!

Gracias doy a Dios y lo comparto con ustedes... deseando que Su fe no falte, sino por el contrario se fortalezca pues Dios siempre cumple Sus promesas, y sabemos que los pensamientos de Dios para nosotros son de paz y no de mal para darnos el fin que esperamos(Jer. 29:11)... ¿Y quien es el FIN? -------CRISTO, EL ALFA Y LA OMEGA!!!

Sinceramente,
Karla :)
