Made it to Juarez

Yesterday we made it to Juarez. The plan for our time here is to do a ten day performing arts seminar. I will be teaching about creating warm ups and 3 hours of hip hop training. The base here is very excited about learning and we have a lot to share. The base here also runs an orphanage so we will be spending time with the children ther and possibly teaching dance there as well. I am really relaxed here Juarez is really dry dessert and often they have sand storms, and even though that does not sopund very appealing, I love it here. We have a lot of land to wlak and the sky is full of stars at night. I enjoy city life but it here we feel the presence of Gods peace. we are alsoi really happy becasue we spen the last 3 weeks sleeping on the floor and here we have amazing cozy beds and my back is really happy. I am glad this is our closing time of outreach we are ready for God to keep growing us and as always change us to be more like him.

something interesting that happened today... We had a time of intercession this mornig about Juarez. people say this is the most dangerous city in the world with the drug cratel and murder rate, but I thought about it today, maybe the stats are against this place but I feel realy at peace here. During our prayer time I felt God reminding me to again, believe the truth, maybe because so many people over react and speak negativly about this city is influencing its citizens. When people talk about something enough it can sometimes become the truth, that maybe people act on evil impulse becasue it is what they are expected to do. So my prayer is to stop looking at the bad or dangerous but expect Gods good here and look at the beauty in this place and remember Jaurez is Gods city, His plan is very powerful for this place.

Living here and now, but remembering home in my heart....
