Hope

Hope is some times the only gift you can give, I got the chance to spent some time in Kipkaren helping with the home care ministry, visiting people infected with HIV, I felt very inadequate to bring hope to them, even though they bless me in such a way that is very hard to express, mixed with the feeling of powerlessness you can feel God presence everywhere like water around a fish, God has show me who is in control, and that he is mighty!

I want to express all the my experiences, the people, the places and the work of God in this blog, but is impossible, every day I see poverty but that don't hinders the worship to this awesome God. How precious is his touch, how wonderful his light, and his word is one of the best delights.

In the picture one of the graduates baptism, he is doing well, 8 week sober!

The Journey

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
Well, for quite some time I've feeling is was time for my next step, God please help, need you Lord! amen.
I'm wrestling with the issue of pride, the one who humbles himself, is because he wants to be lift it up. How can I get out of the way, and what are the dangers of exalting myself, I can distract people for what will bring true and lasting joy. I hope in my trip, and in my life for that matter, I don't fall into the trap to try to be the center of the world, we all know the the consequences of that diluted thinking, at least I know.
Because he took my guilt and my punishment and reconciled me to God as my father, I do not need to cling any longer to the comforts of earth in order to be content. I am free to let things go for the sake of making the supremacy of God's worth know.
Almost ready to go, prayers please.

Over coffee

If he get his will, I am afraid that I should not get mine, if the God who I'm so found to speak and love, I cannot trust, I know for a fact that my recovery will fail.

Somebody ask me if I can define God, 1^st I have to know what a definition means To define,is simply to bound, to separate, or distinguish; so that the thing defined may be discriminated from all other things.

This may be done by stating its characteristics and his specific difference, by explaining the idea as it lies in our minds, and by explaining the term which is denoted.

When we say we can define God, all that is meant is, that we can analyze the idea of God as it lies in our mind. NO, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE GOD OF MY UNDESTANDIG, I am NOT talking about making a god out of my mind, but the characteristics of God that my mind can understand.

He is distinguished from all other beings. Is the simples definition. Hence God is perfect, (no other being like him), Him as a being, not an idea, but as that which has real, objective existence; and absolute perfection distinguishes Him from all other beings.

Which take us to the Westminster Statement of faith, I don't what to loose you here, give it a chance, God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, and it what sense, in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.

What is meant by the words “being,” and “perfections,” or “attributes” of God?

By being I meant that which has a real, substantive existence. It is equivalent to substance, or essence. It is opposed to what is merely thought, and to a mere force or power. I know what you thinking, what about antimatter, well antimatter, is not infinite, another characteristic of God. When, therefore, we say there is a God, we do not assert merely that there is in our minds the idea of an infinite Spirit; but that, entirely independent of our idea of Him, such a Being really exists. (remember, I am not trying to prove the existence of God, but just a definition of him, and NO that not apply to Pantheism, that affirms that the subjective alone is real, hence not being but the being)

Now to the attributes of God, in attempting to explain the relation in which the attributes of God stand to his essence and to each other, there are two extremes to be avoided. First, we must not represent God as a composite being, composed of different elements; and, secondly, we must not confound the attributes, making them all mean the same thing, which is equivalent to denying them all together.

It will take me a lot of time to define each one of this: infinity, eternity, immutability, knowledge, justice, goodness, truth and sovereignty his will and his power.

I know when me and her sit to discuss this matter over coffee, I can hear her saying “God is Love, and that's all I need to know, that's the God of my understanding”, How, how can you understand a God, if you don't look for him, or you only want to see what you want to see or don't.

I think getting to know this being with such marvelous characteristics, it will be a good investment of time.

For more you can look for the work of Saint Augustine of Hippo, Charles Hodge, the Westminster confession of faith.
