"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."

I can´t you believe you´re quoting yoursel. Can you do that on a blog???
Keep up the good work and praise God for His faithfulness in your life. The amazing part is that none of us deserve any of His goodness. In fact we deserve the opposite. How humbling it is that God pours out His blessings on undeserving people. "Let us strive to live lives worthy of these blessings."--my own personal quote (adapted from the disciple formerly known as Saul)
