STAND STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!

One of these past days a friend was sharing with me that “Sometimes the Lord removes the tent (disrupting our comfort zone) so we can see the stars and get a clearer view of who He is”. And this is a rightful truth many times in our lives!
We keep so busy planning and doing things, and taking pride on what we do and building up our little human kingdoms that we frequently lose sight of what he tells us in Habakkuk 1:5 “Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days! You would not believe if you were told!

Wonderful things happen without us realizing it, immersed as we usually are in the toils and the snares of the day. He has recently filled our hearts with joy!

We received the visit from Dalila, the first girl that left our Arms of Love homes after reaching adulthood. The ministry prepared her for adulthood by making her receive training on pastry making. After a while she decided to try life by herself.

Now she came back to visit as she considers us her grandparents (The Abuelitos).
She proudly presented to us and in us to Arms of Love her first born, the little boy Franklin Antonio Chávez-Martínez

She married a refrigeration technician young guy. She is working making cakes to help at home. She is building up her family and is firmly determined to see that her son does not go through the abuse and abandonment she suffered as a child.


Thanks my Lord for allowing us to see the first fruits of the love and sacrifices of all those who make this ministry a real work of God!

Thank you, Lord, for let us see a young life develop and be brave enough to leave the comfortable AOL environment to face life herself.

Dear Lord, bless and protect her and her family! Bless and protect all Those who are being part of many more Christian and positive lives making!

My name is Karolyn. Lately, I have really been praying about opportunities to serve the Lord abroad as He has laid it upon my heart. For whatever reason, Nicaragua has been repeating over and over in my mind...I happened upon your site through another friend's blog. Is there anyway you could contact me at kkh52unt@yahoo.com to let me know more about this amazing work you are doing?
