When I was in Nicaragua it was really interesting. We went to a church on Sunday morning in the middle of the city in Nicaragua. I had no idea what to expect and boy was I surprised. We walked in while the church was worshiping in Spanish and I didn’t know what was going on, but I sang along to the projectors and it was really cool. After the worship was over we sat down to hear the word and they had an English translator just for us so that we could understand what was going on. It was a really cool message and it was all about the process! The most important thing he said was the fact that the process isn’t easy, we will fall but must get up! Move forward! It wasn’t that important whether or not we are perfect but just that we kept pushing through and never stop.
The process basically is how God cleans us and get us ready for his work. There was a parallel drawn to gold. Gold is thrown through the fire to purify it before it becomes so valuable. By taking me through a process God is working out my impurities and shaping me into what He wants me to be. The fact that God is with me through the whole process is pretty crazy to me. Sometimes I feel as though I am all by myself and that God is not near me, but throughout everything He is beside me and I need to remember that fact.
