So I took that boat...

 So, almost 6 months ago, I took that boat and my life took one step ahead in what I and He dreamed. A two hours trip between Belém and Barcarena decided one more stage of my path. The preparation.
On March 10th, the so craved Dicipleship Trainning School - DTS started. That was exciting! I couldn't help crying. The song I used to sing so many times, wishing I could do what the lyrics say, was playing and I was finally doing what it says: "We leave it all behind for you for the seek of your call."


Well... To seek God's call didn't start easily, but it didn't weigh more than I could carry.

Besides the intense routine of classes, academic works, readings; basic cares for the house where we lived; trips to the river communities every weekend , visits and works at the local community, the first 3 months were marked by the deafening silence of God. And I, who hoped to hear His voice so clearly during that time, was feeling desperate, but the sure that He was there and His answers relieved me.
At least I knew that He was listening to me, 'cause He aswered all of my prayers.

It also was a time marked by His loyalty and faithfulness. Nothing essential was missing. And His Father image just got clearer for me, 'cause He supported me, gave me gifts once and while, and was always affirming: "Don't worry! Everything that is mine is your. Ask me!". And as a good father He corrected me whenever is was necessary. But I've gotta say! He's such a patient father and that constranged me to be more patient with myself and the others.
I learned something very important. To depend of God is totally safe, even when I can't see, feel or hear Him.

I also learned to be more humble before Him, to have more transparency, submiting myself, letting myself to be cared for Him.
I made it to that place with scars and hidden mistakes (so weel hidden that I got surprised). God touched them. It hurt! But it healed faster than it was with my own treatment.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - II Chronicles 7:14

Healing and transformation. That's what happened and is still going on. God shining down on me from the inside out, bringing light upon what I couldn't see inside, so this light may shine brighter for whoever, here outside, needs light.
Preparation. God preparing me to "go to all the world and preach the gospel".

This is just a summary of what happend on the first 3 months of my trip. I still have a lot to share about that time and 2 months more of stories to tell. I'll let it to the next post. Too much to be told at once. ;)
