Most people in this world rather not be in the presence of God. Some people really believe that there is no God and he doesn't exist. When in reality he does exist because he gives us many blessings and helps us in our troubles. The devil tempts us and makes us uncomfortable. God is there to comfort us and helps us in our trials.
In the world today, many people I believe are too busy for God, or they so say themselves. We people in this world need to make time for God. God created this world and the people in it. We can at least make some time out of our crazy and busy lives for him. God is asking just to spend at least 10 to 15 minutes each day.
The world has many ways of distracting our minds from the things of God. For instance, social media is a huge one. Oftentely forgetting to spend time with him because you want to put yourself first. God isn't a selfish God, he is a loving God.
God's presence I found is in the midst of the silence in our lives. If we just be quiet and sit in silence and pray we will get further in life. The busy bodies are the worst and they are hardest to sit still. The loners I found would have it much easier because they are by themselves. Not wanting to be around everyone and leaving more room for God.
It's the lack of silence that prevents us from hearing the voice of God. God wants us to put away all the distractions and listen to him. God wants to come into your life and heal your wounds. God wants to fill your life with his presence daily. Only, if you first sit still, and leave the detractions away from your sight and mind.

A 40 day Fast
In our church some of us did a 40 day fast. Not to be higher on the totem pole, or be more spiritual, but to have a closer relationship with God. So the people who fasted were fasting from different things. I fasted from being on Facebook and drinking no soda. Not drinking the soda was easy because I don't really drink soda. After the fast, I realized God has touched me a lot in different ways. I am deciding to stay longer off Facebook.
Day 1. January 8, My first day of my fast was interesting. I was fasting from Facebook it really didn't bother me actually because I started off being with God.
Day 2. January 9, Today I just was reflecting on the grace and love I have for God :)
Day 3. January 10, Today started out with going to the soup kitchen helping prepare food and playing with the kids. I really enjoy all these children out in the mission I go to. Afterwards, I went with a couple of friends to a dentist appointment they had. The dentist only spoke Spanish so I helped my friends. In the process, the dentist asked me when the last time I got my gums cut. I said when I about 5 or 6 years old. He ended up cutting them free without any charge. He told me God paid it :) My smile looks awesome.
Day 4. January 11, Today, I had to rest because my mouth surgery. I enjoyed the rest that God gave me after the miracle happened yesterday.
Day 5. January 12, Today, I went to church with my family. Then we came home and just hanged out with my dad because today was his birthday. We had pizza later it was so good.
Day 6. January 13, I am blessed to be with God each and every day.
Day 7. January 14, Today I was helping out in the mission. I took care of the babies from the ages of couple of months to 2 years old. I had help with some other people and we had an awesome time. One of the babies there was named Japhet and he was one of the pastor's kids, he was an 1 year old. His mom, my pastor was really tired because she has three kids. One is 7 named Chris, the middle child is 3 years old and the other is Japhet the youngest, one year old. I decided to help her out with a necessary duty. I told her I could handle it. She asked me if "everything was okay?" I said, "yes." Afterwards, she told me "Thank you." I realized she needed my help, and I was willing to be there to do what she needed me to do.
Day 8. January 15, Today I went to the soup kitchen and helped prepare the food and played with the kids. Also, some friends of Jennifer (She is a friend of mine) came to help us. I translated for them. We made a really good salad with cabbage, carrots, cranberries, with an apple vinegar sauce. Later that night I went to the service they have every Wednesday night. The sermon was about levels and what you have to do in order to reach the next one. While I was listening, I felt I needed a boost of confidence and trust in God because Satan has been trying to knock me down. So after the preaching the Pastor who was speaking asked if anyone needed a spiritual uplifting? If so come up front. Almost all of us who were there went up front. I asked God for his guidance, direction and to have satan flee because he isn't supposed to part of me anyone.
Day 9. January 16, I didn't really do anything today in particular.
Day 10. January 17, I went to the soup kitchen today and served the kids and felt good.
Day11. January 18, I went to the mission and danced with the kids. I went and helped my friend with her class. I was in a cardboard box along with a couple of my other friends.
Day 12. January 19, I went to church today and it felt good. The worship and word were great.
Day 13. January 20, Today I took a break because we don't really do things on Mondays.
Day 14. January 21, Today, was another amazing day in the presence of God. Later, I went to a dinner at the Pastor's house to eat, and chatted with the others among me. The dinner was for the English congregation so I had a delight in chatting with most of them. Considering all the English congregation is scatted throughout the bay helping different missions we have. It was a great time of fellowship.
Day 15. January 22, Today in the early afternoon, I went to the soup kitchen and just served the Lord like I love to do. I love cooking for the kids there, it's my pleasure and to play with them too. At night, I had a class at my church, it was amazing. This one girl named Ely, she got glitter everywhere it was kind of funny. I did a class about how it's important to pass time with God and pray to him. The graft I did was on a colored piece of paper with hands in the prayer position and had the kids put glue and glitter. It looked cool :)
Day 16. January 23, Today, I am thankful for God's amazing love, mercy, and grace. I went over to a friend's house with some other people to do the bookmarks for youth. Then we eat food and followed in prayer time it was a great time.
Day 17. January 24, Today I went out to the mission to help out in the soup kitchen. The soup kitchen that I go to every Friday and Wednesday from 12 to 3 in the afternoon is out in San Vicente. There were some Americans and Canadians there they didn't know any Spanish. So I helped them translate some things and helped get things more in an orderly fashion out there :)
Day 18. January 25, Tonight was phenomenal amazing night of fellowship as always on Saturday night at Youth. By the way, my youth is in spanish ;) An amazing worship to start off, games, and a shaving head bet that if there more than 100 youth there our main pastor would shave his head. Well as a result there were 86 of us and he shaved his head anyways. An amazing word by our main pastor of our church. Also, there were about 6 to 8 people who got saved too. Just Awesome!
Day 19. January 26, Tonight was amazing and well actually today too :) I love being in the presence of God and being filled by the Holy Spirit. Today there was sermon as always on sunday mornings at my church and at night too. Tonight was different maybe it was the word that was spoken to me or maybe it was the fact that I was laying at the feet of Jesus. After laying there for a while on the floor being filled by the Holy Spirit. I was asking God to strengthen my faith and trust in him so I could have a better relationship with him. I felt his presence there all around me and a miracle was happening inside of me bigger than my faith. I felt I might be more to the church that I go to than I ever knew. Not sure what next is going to happen, but I feel it's going to be huge.
Day 20. January 27, Today, I am grateful for people who are out there to help to me and for me to help me when in a time of need.
Day 21. January 28, Today, I am grateful for the people around me who are set apart from this world. Who live in this world, but separate themselves from it and choose to bring other people closer to God's word. I invited someone to youth next week I'll see if they come or not.
Day 22. January 29, Today, was amazing went I went to the soup kitchen like every Wednesday and Friday. Later, I had a class so I went early and prepared for it. During the worship we were dancing with the kids, which all of them are amazing. Then when I was done with the class we took all kids to the auditorium to pray for them. It was the most amazing thing. Little kids praying to God, whether if it was a small thing or a big one. All of our youth, pastors, leaders, and parents were praying over the kids. I felt the Holy Spirit tonight boy.
Day 23. January 30, Today God taught me to be patient and wait, for there is a tomorrow. Also, he taught me that some things don't always come when we want them. I will cast my cares on him, for he cares to listen.
Day 24. January 31, Today, I went to the soup kitchen and served and then on the way home we got a flat tire. I was thankful that our friends were behind us and help us. Then went to the dentist later to fix my cavity that was really deep down in my mouth. The dentist told me that it was very close to my nerve and I might have to have a root canal ahh!
Day 25. Feburary 1, Went today to the mission and had breakfast there. While I was there I took care of the babies and forgot my phone haha. I didn't realize I left it there, until about 5:30 in the afternoon. Youth was amazing it was about your connect with God and where your home is in this world. We Christians need to have a home in Jesus.
Day 26. Feburary 2, I went to church today, and I love being in his presence and his guidance.
Day 27. Feburary 3, I went down to the beach today to tell God what has been bothering me. He listened and responded with something surprising to me. You won't have to worry about getting lost in this world because your passion and faith in me is so strong. The people who see this will know that you're wise and you won't go back to Satan's ways.
Day 28. Feburary 4, Tonight I went to the mission and just helped God today.

The answers of God, Yes, No, Later?
In this world we live in on planet earth. As Christians, we find searching for God and his answers can be a challenge. Considering that we as christians want God's wills in our lives, well most of us. While searching for God in this sinful world. God's answers to things we ask in prayer can differ, depending whether it's his will or not.
God's answers can range from yes, no, and yes, but later.
I don't know what you have been asking God in prayer and the responses he's given you. Here are some questions to make you think:
Has God ever answered one of your prayer requests with a no? If so, what was it and what were the circumstances of it?
My response yes, he has answered a prayer request with a no. It was about my relationship with my boyfriend. God told me to break it, he told me your boyfriend is more important than me. If you love me so much put me in first place and wait for someone better okay? I broke up with him and I felt weird for a while, but now I feel free and better.
Has God ever answered one of your prayer requests with a yes, but later? What was it and what were the circumstances of it?
Yes, God has answered one of my prayer requests with a yes, but later. It was about the internship in my church. He told me it will come, but not right now. You aren't focused enough on me and your heart isn't focused on me either. The outcome after I broke up with my boyfriend God put me in the internship at my church. The one I have been going to for the past 3 1/2 years.
Has God ever answered one of your prayer requests with a yes? What was it and what were the circumstances of it?
My response, yes God has answered one of my prayers with a yes. He told me that there will be a miracle happening, and it will be something unexpected. I think the miracle has happened, but I am not quite sure yet. I have seen many miracles in my life, a medical condition that isn't affecting me anymore, free from drugs, and changes in relationships that I couldn't imagine.
Desribe how you felt after you knew each of God's answers?
Well, at first I was shocked. Asking God why he wanted me to change somethings in my life that I thought were okay. He decided to take control and change my life and do a 180. He changed my thoughts, relationships, and desires. I realize he has wanted me to do his will in my life. At first to tell you the truth, it wasn't easy, trying anything you haven't tried before isn't easy. God told me it was time for a change in me. Now realizing his answers to my prayers, I wouldn't have wanted to stay the same anyway.
Why do you think God answers no or later at times?
He's making us wait for something better than what we have planned for in our lives.
Why doesn't God always answer our prayers with a yes?
I feel he knows better than us and everything we ask for in prayer isn't always needed in our lives. The only thing we really need in our lives is to live for Jesus because he gave his on the cross.
God's answers can range from yes, no, and yes, but later.

The fire that God has set in my soul.
In the progress of becoming where I am today. I really would have never thought of how much my soul is on fire for God now. I was in the dark and he brought me into the light. The deepest secrets that I had hidden within inside of me were brought into the light. I don't really care to keep secrets from him anymore. My secrets were hidden so long in a soul that wasn't on fire for God.
God told me to get rid of my boyfriend and he was serious. God told me I have something better for you. I feel now that me not getting rid of my worldly boyfriend sooner I was preventing God's presence in my life. About two weeks after I broke up with my boyfriend, God said you trusted me. I felt God really wanting to be in my life and his presence and love as well. Then I got invited to interns at my church.
The internship was held in my church in Bucerias, La Fuente Riviera. In the intership I didn't know really what to expect and how much effort I was going to be putting into it. The internship was in last July until mid August. He was serious and he put me into the internship. Which I wanted to be in for the last few years. During the internship, I had to share my testimony and that's where all the secrets came out pretty much. At first I was scared to share what happened to me, but everyone has to start somewhere.
I have been going to my church now for about 3 1/2 years. This church has transformed me and the people there care about me. God has put a fire down in my heart there at my church. Of course before a major decision to put you into an internship. The leaders and the pastors there have to see how well you do under pressure, and how strong your faith is.
Also, throughout this fasting I have felt that God has been giving me a fire in my heart. He told me some other great surprise is coming but not sure what it is yet. I am sitting here waiting here on the Lord to guide me.
If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it.
God told me to get rid of my boyfriend and he was serious. God told me I have something better for you. I feel now that me not getting rid of my worldly boyfriend sooner I was preventing God's presence in my life. About two weeks after I broke up with my boyfriend, God said you trusted me. I felt God really wanting to be in my life and his presence and love as well. Then I got invited to interns at my church.
The internship was held in my church in Bucerias, La Fuente Riviera. In the intership I didn't know really what to expect and how much effort I was going to be putting into it. The internship was in last July until mid August. He was serious and he put me into the internship. Which I wanted to be in for the last few years. During the internship, I had to share my testimony and that's where all the secrets came out pretty much. At first I was scared to share what happened to me, but everyone has to start somewhere.
I have been going to my church now for about 3 1/2 years. This church has transformed me and the people there care about me. God has put a fire down in my heart there at my church.

How to be a strong christian in a sinful world like this.
1st. You will need to never be ashamed of your passion and love you have for Jesus in a sinful world like this. Also, you will never need to be ashamed of your faith. The world mocked Jesus and us Christians get mocked by the world now because of our passion, love and our faith. I rather be in the savior's love than to be loved by the world. Actually, there is really no love in this world. It's a dark place where there is sin, temptation, and no love.
2nd. You need to make sure that you spend time alone with God. In prayer and in reading the bible on a daily basis. It doesn't matter how long you're with him on a daily basis. It's just letting God know that your there to spend time with him and to hear from him.
3rd. Tell the devil to flee from you because he will tempt you that he is better than God. When in reality God is way bigger than the devil and the storm you're going through.
4th. Surround yourself with people who love god and not things of this world. Separate yourself from the things of this world. You will find when you do that the those things won't satisfy your soul. The only thing that will satisfy your soul is the love and grace that God has poured upon us.
5th. Let God show you his way because his way is correct and always perfect. His timing is always perfect, and it's not in your time. He does it in his time I found because he waits until we're ready for what we want.
6th. It helps to listen to worship bands and sing with them. My favorite bands are Elevation Worship, Jesus Culture, Hillsong United, Hillsong Live, Hillsong Young and Free. Chris Tomlin, Bethel Live, Citizens, David Crowder Band, Third Day, The Sing Team.

Decisions
In life we find things that could be either good or bad. Some things that you consider to be good could also be bad . On a great scale of things it all depends on how God views it.
Most of us people say, well, we can do those things on our own and we don't need God's view on it. When in reality, God knows what's going to happen to you later on, if you don't let him guide you now.
Proverbs 14:12 - There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
God knows what's going to happen, and if you don't trust him you are going to sin. Then, after sinning, you will fall into many consequences, which will cause you to become depressed. Being depressed, then leads you into the worlds ways. The worlds ways aren't the best ones to follow.
When people get bad news and it shakes them. They pray to God, but they do it only because they are in a tough situation.
The people on earth who don't know Jesus don't know true love. Jesus is there to protect us from the flesh of this world.
