God's Work Around and in My Life

"I think it is really hard to not forget what God has done for us, but we are humans and we do" - My personal own quote.

Now that i am a little older, i have seen how God has taken care of my family, each in a unique way. We have been on tight spots, whether physically or emotionally, and He had and is being faithful even if we havn't. We were mainly blessed as we did not have money for Panama School, and we received the oportunity to enter into Crossroads.
I remember when my mom was pregnant with my little brother. It was all too fast: My dad was fired from his job, and all of our savings were drained and empty, and we were worried. My dad got a call from the doctor after, and said "Congratulations Fernando, you're a dad again." As my father read Psalm 121, he lifted his head up into the sky and said " God, our help comes from You only." My dad eventually got a job, and he got a call to work into another department in Toyota that same day. As we were struggling with this, we got another complication with my little brother. He had a problem with the placenta disattaching from him, there was a high chance for him to die. God again showed His hand there, and my brother is as healthy as one could be born. Now my dad is working as an analist in Toyota, finished his degree in Economy, and my mom in Ocupational Health. My brother is in crossroads too, my sister about to graduate, and i in tenth grade. We have been presented with oportunities of translating, and provided for the missions trip. God has molded each of us, and as i am becoming a young man he has placed people in my life to be counselors, and i have learned from them.
In my church i've seen a great difference from when i first got there. The church has grown, up to three services now! Along with it, many ministries has sprouted well: The Children's ministry, the Youth Ministry, Curundu Ministry, etc. The band and sound equipment has also improved, it has grown, and we have people committed to serve every Sunday.
In my country, God has raised a few ministries to raise life into Panama. A few examples of these is PAAM, Curundu Church, WYWAM Panama, along with others from other countries (Canada). I see in them a passion to make a difference, and prepare people here in panama.
As i see this, i wonder why we sometimes get mad at God for one thing that goes wrong, or one thing we think He has done wrong. We are humans, and we don't see if a person has done a million things right, or has been commited to something and has not failed to do this; we see the one wrong thing he or she did, or that he or she missed out. All i can say is " Thank You God."

Summerization

This is the set of answers for assignment number four:
1. For the team, the role i exercise more is serving and leading (when it comes to things i know how to do, not always).
2. To really know me, one must talk to me several times, because you can't know me from first impressions. I can be really serious, or really hyper to the point where my face muscles are tired of smiling at people (i also smile a lot when im a little nervous). What really annoys me is injustice and when people think they are better than others (cocky people). I am a very joky person, so sometimes i appear serious when im joking around, hehe. however, i have a hard time when im know im doing things wrong, and i put my self down and alienate myself from people so i can forget and start again. This mostly sums up how my personality goes and what you could do to work with me. oh, yeah, im also a very undecisive person. :D
3. God could be using my personality and spiritual gifts to benefit His kingdom to where i could be flexible when serving and patient in encouraging or giving advises to people that are struggling to understand a passage in the Bible.( a thing i forgot to add in the spiritual gift test, which is intrpretation). It is kinda cool to be discovering things you can do, but i think i still got time to unravel the choices God has given me to serve Him.

Spirituality and Personality

At first in my first post of my personality test, i didnt know wat the judging part of the results were, but as i kept doing the spiritual test, i realized it was more for just sharing with people. I can see them as a potentioal weapon My personality and Spiritual test, but i still have to know for sure what all my gifts are. Anyways,Sensing goes with the discerning part. In thinking,it relates with teachings and planning things that could be useful for the team. The extraverted part is going and sharing with a person (exhortation) and bringing them comfort for their burdens. But now, everything is inverted in the second peronality test. I can feel (in feeling of course) for discernment (wouldnt u say discernment is repetetive) and exhortations. and with intuition, it will help me get a balance and not straight judging. All of these could be use to serve, whether emotionally serving, or physically serving. Something that i wrote last year was " It is not always easy to demonstrate and do what God has given you, but He'll give u the courage to do so according to His plan," To add to that, God will show us how our gifst and personality unite to fit His purpose.

Spiritual Gifts

Wow, i think that this is complicated. I have an all-around number with my spiritual gifts, but i still dont know what my strongest are. In the quiz, it says descerning of spirits and teachings are my strongest, but the others are close behind, like Ekballism, Exhortations and others. When i look at these ones, i feel that i really could do something well for Gods purpose. However, my weakest ones are speaking in tongues and translating tongues, which doesnt surprise me, for i havent talked or heard anyone speak in tongues.
In my opinion, God uses the combinations of different gifts to mold and make a person who they are, and i think that when God gives us gifts, we need to use them to their full extend, and be ready to use them. Sadly, I've seen some good gifts i thought could benefit the team (to what our purpose in going there is) not coming to the trip. Maybe it wasnt their time, but i trust the judgement of the Mission's commitee. Let's see how the trip goes!

Random Post

Humanetrics Test

ESTJ vs ENFJ

Extraverted vs Extraverted

Sensing vs Intuitive

Thinking vs Feeling

Judging vs Judging


This is weird, but it somehow makes sense. When i did this test fot the First time, i got ESTJ, but the second time i got EIFJ. I was puzzled. But as i saw the percents on the last ones and this one, it was really close. It was almost 50/50, which is dumbfounding because, "how could i have these altogether?" But knowing my personality by different situations, i know i have a mix of them because i am balanced in those things. I am really extraverted people, loving to be outside and be with people, however i also need my quiet times as much as my "wild" times. I can be really happy, but at the same time, reserved when im frustrated ( mainly with myself).
Going along with before, too much of something is sometimes bad at times ( either too sweet or too bitter) and having a balance of things makes you more adequate when trying to make decisions and dealing with people in conversations ( which could benefit the team), however, in some situations u need an extreme to encounter someone or be sensitive to what they are feeling ( which could then, by my results, could not be so helpful). Judgin could also have a good and bad impact. Good, because you can discern in situations and people, and bad, because you can make harsh decisions about a person that could go both ways. That's a loadfull to discover.
