La Pasión

OH MY WORD. Let me just start off by saying that my GOD is infinitely wonderful and that HIS sacrifice can never compare to that of any other! His son JESUS deserves every ounce I have to be put forth into making his name known! The idea of Passion Conference's center their vision around one verse and that verse is Isaiah 26:8 which says:

 “Yes Lord, walking in the way of Your truth we wait eagerly for You, 

for Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.”

How powerful is that?! Jesus is all that really matters so why would I waste my time doing anything else? He is God's beloved son that gave the ultimate sacrifice for us [which fyi, we suck] without a grumble. He could've stopped it but he loves us that much that he didn't. Now that is what I call love. Not this "i love you, no i love you, no i love you more" type thing we are faced with every day. This is real unconditional love. You may be reading this thinking, this girl is some Jesus freak, God praising moron but I write this for you to know that [yes, I am all of those things] but mostly because there is a hope in Jesus that you can't get from anywhere else. I'd love to talk to any of you about this idea and my experience at passion so if you would like to talk message me or something and we'll chat!


ANYWAYS, my personal experience at Passion was intense. I'm going to share a little of what I dealt with and all of this happened only because of people who have a love for sharing the name of Jesus. I've been a Christ-follower for a many years but as the bible says our lives come in seasons and before Passion my season was doubt. I knew I was going to Costa Rica but I didn't plan on doing anything other than soaking in the culture and practicing my spanish. But why would I go somewhere and NOT carry the name of Jesus? This whole idea of "I can't do anything, I'm only one person" has turned into "I desire to carry the name of Jesus in all I do because he has done much for me." My new mindset is Christ centered rather than progress centered. My church has a lot of contacts in Costa Rica and I plan to get in contact with those churches and get involved. What better way to learn the culture and language than to get in the lives of these people that follow the same Jesus I do? My goal is to share the name and love of Christ through my learning experience. I pray that God will use me in many ways that I can be moldable into a figure more like Him. I'm excited for how God is going my life as I enjoy my journey in Heredia.

But because the event was so packed and spiritually empowering I didn't have time to be taking pictures of my outfits that I said I would post earlier. But I was an extra overachiever the first day so here is my outfit from that day

the ONE outfit I took pictures of, cute huh?!

but thats that. Oh and let me just tell you. I kept saying how cold it was going to be.. it wasn't ! boooooo. I mean there were times when it was cold but overall the weather can't even compare to last years blizzard like winds. Here some other Passion shots I was able to get.

Philips arena was packed but doesn't even include Georgia World Congress Center! Next year we will be in the Georgia Dome

Why wait? You can change the world!
