Rise and Shine!
I pray you had a great weekend and that you did experience hope with the people you do life with!
Below you can find the testimonies of you guys, the goals you set on short term and long term to bring hope in the lives of others.
How am I bringing Hope to others one of you asked me. By following the nudge in my heart to pray for you and to share my heart when I don't want to. By continuing to be faithful to this daily email. Our testimonies be it yours or mine about our hardships bring hope to someone. It touches the lives of people we will maybe not know.
You are all part of a mission of Hope we have every now and then. Remember Nick? Through your prayers and through keeping you up to date you prayed and brought hope to a hopeless situation. It was through your faith that a prayer was answered miles away. Long ago, I sent a prayer request of this lady that wanted to jump from a building in downtown, you responded and that lady was rescued. A toddler felt in a pool and was in intensive care in the hospital, again I sent the prayer request and you got to prayer and he got stable and got out of the danger.
We confessed our sins to each other, remember I told you my heart was not forgiving? Some of you sent me your burden in your heart and a few weeks later if we go back to that week, things changed for the best. Financial needs were met, one of the friends Natalia graduated this weekend at FIU after studying hard and doing her best to finish her study, now she is finished and she can rest assure that God will provide the job for her. Congratulations Natalia!
You are all vehicles God uses to bring Hope, we just need to be willing to step in faith and seek God to find out where he wants us to be and do his will. There is no better place then to be under his umbrella ella ella, under his umbrella!
I wrote this in my journal:
Prayer leads to conviction of our sins Conviction of sins leads us to repentance Repentance leads us to obedience to God Obedience to God leads us to blessings! May the Lord fill our hearts with HOPE, in Jesus name, Amen.
Julieta Reyes Flores Proverbs 16:3
Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
and your plans will succeed. |
HOPE
I've been talking with my girlfriend Rachel about how we want to use our singleness to bless others and serve more. I feel like I keep using WV as my 'serving' but really that is my calling. Some ideas I have to spend more of my time outside of TWV serving are 1) spend time listening, loving, and sharing the gospel w the old people who literally live across the street in a nursing home (I've never visited). So today I'm going to call and see how visiting works (my friend Rachel is holding me accountable) I told her to ask me tonight. Also, I have some ideas on how I can babysit to be a blessing to those who are married w kids(or not married!) and maybe, maaaybe get back into teaching English one night a week.I need to pray on all these ideas and be sure I'm investing my time well and where God wants me. Love u so much! How u giving hope out, lady?

Potential Miami Phone Blitz was last Thursday night @ 7pm. All ministry teams came together for a night of prayer, vision casting shared by Ps. Kory and phone calls. I volunteered to call people and invite our community to our new HOPE Series which kicked off this past weekend. We want to reach out to those we know are hurting and invite them to join us on this Hope-filled journey!
Annette Miami, Florida Good morning Julieta! Thank you for taking the time to write for us. I want to share with the fact that I am doing the things you encouraged, advocating HOPE to people I meet. I will be inviting my friend who has left the church for a very longtime. This should be a great experience for him. Thank you again for reminding the great gift of a brand new day God has provided each and everyone of us. GODSPEED! Jay Vero Beach, Florida
I have just today invited a person that God has taken our way.
She is in no lack of anything so far as I know, but I felt a nudge and then I know that God knows what is best for every person and I know that he knows her and her family best. I just have to follow the nudge! Also could you please inform the people to check out the Face Book Page "Por una vida digna para los ninhos del Peru". I will forward more information on how people can help us bring Hope here in Peru. Yurika Lima, Peru
This weekend at Potential Church don't miss the opportunity to invite someone to hear the word of God and His message of: HOPE, It's your TIME!
