Well, today was a pretty kewl day. Everyone from my church was supposed to fast today until 5pm. We're all fasting every Wednesday in December to pray for the blessings of 2006. Unfortunately, I decided to
forget that I was supposed to fast until
after I finish my cereal. So, to make up for it, I decided to fast from then until aroun 9pm... I guess that's fair, right?
Every Wednesday I also have my
discipulado. It's like a discipleship group that my church appointed me into. It's good because they give us "spiritual" parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, children, etc. They do that so that your parents can be, I guess, semi-responsable for your growth as a Christian. Actually, we were talking about this today. Our purpose as Christians is to become more like Christ:
Romans 8:29
because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son
When we do this we will become models of Christ for everyone else:
Philippians 3:17
Be imitators of me, brothers and sisters, and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.
I really feel that since I've come to Costa Rica, my faith has grown exponentially. But I know that God has even more in store for me in 2006.
Oh, I have also decided that I'm going to start to work on my
AboveHotels website again as well. I know I have been slacking for such a long time, but it's something that I have started, so I know I should finish it.
