Have I mentioned God is good? Because I really don't think I can say it enough. Yesterday, Mark and Kristi had a big important meeting with a lot of influential people regarding (wait for it) FUNDING! My favorite subject :-). But praise Him, it was SUCH an encouraging gathering! Mark and Kristi both came back full of hope, humility, and joy. They were overwhelmed, as I think anyone would be, by the amount of support they were shown, emotionally and financially. It's quite a remarkable thing when a room full of people asks you, "What do you need?" you say, "x,y, and if I'm being honest, z." And they respond, "Okay, who can give x? Great! How about y? And z? Alright, you're taken care of." The Salazars came back utterly humbled and amazed at God's favor. God is really preparing C3 Indio for something huge and I feel so blessed to be a part of it.
Also, more of God's goodness, I spent last Thursday night completely encouraged and overwhelmed by the presence of God. I was invited to a prayer group with a group of women who are from all over the desert. We spent the evening in worship and prayer and sharing of how the Lord is working in our lives. It was such a blessing and really SO needed. My soul has been longing for Spirit-filled community; Thursday night was like a long drink of cool water. I'm so grateful for a new group of sisters in Christ!
I don't think I've written about the winds here in the desert, but they are so incredible. Haunting and powerful, frightening and awesome, frigid and surprising; they come out of no where. Stirring up soil, evaporating the mountains with dust. Rattling windows and howling through valleys. To me, it's a reminder of the spiritual battle raging here. A reminder to go out and fight for the Kingdom of God. Suit up, warriors of Christ. Ephesians 6:10-20
