all His works shall praise Him

Ps 145
David's Psalm of praise.
I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

i promised i would make it...and here it is. an ode to the public transportation system in peru.

mt. 28.18-20

2007-10-04T18:20:00.000-07:00

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
-Jesus (mt.28.18-20)

" Y Jesús se acercó y les habló diciendo: Toda potestad me es dada en el cielo y en la tierra. Por tanto, id, y haced discípulos a todas las naciones, bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo; enseñándoles que guarden todas las cosas que os he mandado; y he aquí yo estoy con vosotros todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo. Amén."
-Jesús (mt. 28.18-20)

Esperando en El Senor; creciendo en su gracia

2007-09-18T18:11:00.000-07:00

aqui estoy yo, en el internet con mi propio pagina.
mi proposito es usarlo como una manera de mandar noticias
en vez de mandar un correo a mucha gente de vez en cuando.

Por ahora, estoy viviendo en maine con mis padres, esperando en el Señor. He comenzado el lento proceso de buscar trabajo. mi corazón esta lleno con la oración que Dios me envié al campo misionero en poco tiempo. sin embargo, hasta que escuche su voz diciendo "ve!", me quedare en mi estado para servirle acá. extraño mi familia en Perú, pero se que si quiera el Señor, me llevara allá de nuevo.

"!Oh Señor Jehová! he aquí que tú hiciste el cielo y la tierra con tu gran poder, y con tu brazo extendido, ni hay nada que sea difícil para ti;" jer. 32.17

me emociono a poder estar mas involucrada en mi iglesia aquí, y aunque el proceso de conocer la gente vaya lento, pero se que Dios esta obrando. mi hermoso Salvador esta abriendo mis ojos mas cada día a su bondad y santidad (entre otras cosas también!) en el proceso me estoy dando cuento a mi falta de fe en el Dios que me creo y salvo--o que mi fe crecería y que el Espíritu de Dios me llenaría y que esta lugar temblaría y que la palabra de Dios seria hablado con denuedo a los miles de personas que están muriendo solamente para pasar una eternidad de sufrimiento.

"Aguarda a Jehová;
Esfuérzate, y aliéntese tu corazón;
Sí, espera a Jehová."
salmo 27.14

bueno, gloria a Dios por su bondad en abrir oportunidades para compartir con la iglesia y otras en cuanto a su obra en Perú. doy gracias al saber que hay mucho mas personas que estén orando para la gente allá y la obra que Dios esta continuando allá.
le doy gracias a Dios también por permitirme pasar unas semanas en Carolina del Norte con 2 de mis bellas hermanas, mis hermanitos, mi padre y su esposa.

bueno, estoy orando por algunas cosas y si deseas me puedas ayudar en oración, porque "La oración eficaz del justo puede mucho." santiago 5.16b:

-mas fe y denuedo
-dirección sobre misiones (y mi futuro en general)
-regresare a Perú?
-provision para un trabajo
-provision para un carro para que pueda conseguir trabajo
-oportunidades para servir (en mi iglesia y en mi ciudad...alcances?)

gracias por sus oraciones y para leer este LARGASO "blog", los siguientes serán mas cortes, estoy segura.

"Pero de día mandará Jehová su misericordia,
Y de noche su cántico estará conmigo,
Y mi oración al Dios de mi vida."
salmo 42.8

(espero que entiendan mi español, por favor si quisiera me pueden corregir)

Waiting on the Lord; growing in His grace

2007-09-15T19:19:00.000-07:00

so here i am, on the web.
the world, wide, web.
my real purpose is to use this as a method of updating
rather than sending out a mass email every once in a while.

As for now, i am in maine living at home waiting on the Lord. i have begun the slow process of beginning to search for a job. my heart is not to remain in maine for long, but is filled with the prayer that the Lord would send me out to the foreign mission field. however, until i hear His voice telling me to "go", i will remain in maine and serve Him here. i miss my family in Peru, but i know that if the Lord wishes, He will bring me back soon.

"Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:" jer. 32.17

i am excited to be able to get more involved in my church here, and though the process of getting to know people once again is slow, i know the Lord is at work. my wonderful Savior is opening my eyes more every day to His goodness and holiness (amongst other things to be sure). in the process i am being made ever increasingly aware of my own lack of faith in the God that created and saved me.--oh that my faith would grow, that the Spirit of God would fill me to overflowing that this place would be shaken and that the word of God would go forth in boldness to the hundreds of people who are dying daily only to be faced with an eternity of suffering.

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." ps.27.14

i praise God for His goodness in opening opportunities to me to be able to share with the church, the ladies at Blessed Hope, and others concerning what He is doing in Peru. i am thankful to know that more people are now praying for the people there and the the work God is continuing there.
i praise Him as well for allowing me to spend a few weeks in North Carolina with 2 of my beautiful sisters, my 2 little brothers, my father and his wife.

here are a few things i am praying for should you care to join me as your prayers are more than appreciated, for "the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." james 5.16b:
-more faith and boldness
-guidance concerning missions (and my future in general)
-am i to return to peru? (i have a ticket to return there in a few months)
-provision for a job
-provision for a vehicle to be able to have a job
-opportunities to serve (in the church and in my town...outreaches?)

thank you for your prayers and for bearing through this extensive "blog", the following posts will be shorter i assure you all.

"Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life." ps. 42.8
