What I was doing in Minas Gerais ...

Listening to God.

Well... As some people who know me already know a few years ago God spoke to me about what he had planned for me.
When I was 16 years old God began to tell me that one day I would leave home to serve the kingdom and it would happen soon.

Since the beginning of 2013 I've received confirmations in many ways that my time for missions has come. Then some questions were in the air. What to do? Where to go? Which are the next steps?

I got three options: Italy project, ENA in Minas Gerais or just keep at home taking care of my academic life. Why not?

I prayed one night asking God about what He wanted from me and the next night someone told me that was feeling that God wanted me to go to ENA, because he had something to tell me there.
I had not told anyone about it, then immediately believed that could be the answer for my prayer. There God would give me the first command.

I prayed again asking God to confirm that by opening the way for me. And that's what happened. Everything just worked.
I sold cosmetics, made ​​raffles, received offers. Things just started to flow and when something was missing that was when faith was enough for me. I was sure that God would provide everything I needed and it happened.

On a Saturday night I prayed saying that I needed 75 reals until Monday and I couldn't see a single condition to earn that money in so little time. Even more in a weekend.
I finished praying by saying: "... but God, I trust in you! I know you will provide that and Monday I'll have the money!"

Before going to sleep I made a joke with God. I said, "Hey! You could send my father tomorrow morning to bring me 100 real huh?!"
That was just a joke, because there was a long time my father was not going to visit me. Especially on a Sunday morning . Obviously I couldn't count on it.

The next day (Sunday) I woke up with someone honking in front of my house. I thought, "Could be dad... But of course is not him!", so I tried to sleep again. A few seconds later my brother woke me up by saying: "Thais, your father is here and wants to talk to you!"
More than quickly I got up, changed my clothes and went to talk to him. He was in a hurry, so didn't stay for long. Only spoke to me quickly and handed me a money.
120 real !!!
We said good-bye. I came in, laughed and said: "God, you don't know to joke... " Hahaha.

Similarly happened with the clothes I needed. Were clothes for cold weather, and since I live in Belém, obviously not had this type of clothing. But my blessed aunt came from the U.S. and brought me a suitcase with everything I needed. I gained so many clothes that I loaned for those who would travel with me.

In that same period I gained a necklace with a pendant written: "Believe" . Very significant for me because everything happened like this. The whole story is summed up in BELIEVE. Trust that God is my faithful provider.

It's weird to think that he wanted only to talk to me in a place so far. Why not in my town? I do not know. All I know is: He spoke.

On my first day in Pitangui/MG where the ENA happened, he asked me a question that opened that period full of news from God to me with a golden key.
Over the course of the days he was saying everything slowly, trying to make me understand every detail of what I needed to know.

Well... That's a topic for next post :D

Keep connected, because this is only the beginning of this story. ;)
