NEVER SAY NEVER

GOD continues to work out things that I used to LOVE as A child, that I thought I would never be involved with again.

One day I was talking with the Pastors from Prince of Peace, I had mentioned that ALOT of the U.S. best Baseball Players come out of the Dominican Republic, why don't I see any Ball teams here In Padre Las Casas??

Next thing I know, GOD worked it out for us to get Baseball Gloves from Compassion International so I can start working with the kids from the Center.  I had played Ball from a young age for about 10 years.  I thought Baseball was done in my life!!

I'm extremely excited about this!!

Another thing I thought was long lost, was Learning Spanish.  As A Young Boy growing up In Sacramento, California, two of my best friend were Mexican American.  Pete Mendoza, and Artullio(ART) Padilla, and just about everyone around me was Mexican American in SacTown.  So GOD put a desire in me to learn Spanish.  Once I had moved around, Landing in Ohio, that desire was no more.

GOD has been keeping me stretched and challenges me with Spanish daily here in the DR!

It seems that here lately, As I truly, Whole Heartedly Seek the LORD, I have really been getting vision and tuned in with the HOLY SPIRIT on some things.  I believe GOD wants me to start to study HIS Word here in Padre Las Casas, while serving here.  He has even presented differnet Universities that are convenient  with a schedule that allows me to Hold Baseball Practices, Continuing Spanish, and  serving where I can!  

I feel the Lord Tellin Me take this time to grow with no distractions...

As I talked about the things I felt the LORD was speaking to me about with My Brother N Christ Mike Flemming,  He looked at me and told me a story in the Bible about Paul:


Galatians 1:15 But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him 16 to reveal his Son to me[e] so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.
When this happened, I did not rush out to consult with any human being.[f] 17 Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to consult with those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away into Arabia, and later I returned to the city of Damascus.18 Then three years later I went to Jerusalem to get to know Peter,[g] and I stayed with him for fifteen days. 19 The only other apostle I met at that time was James, the Lord’s brother. 20 I declare before God that what I am writing to you is not a lie.21 After that visit I went north into the provinces of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And still the Christians in the churches in Judea didn’t know me personally. 23 All they knew was that people were saying, “The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!” 24 And they praised God because of me.



Mike was showing me the 3 years Paul took, because It doesnt say what Paul Did for those 3 Years??

Did he seek the LORD with no Wordly OR Past Distraction??

However As I write about this, I think that something FAR Greater is also showing me that its clear that Paul  just obeyed.
