Its crazy how exciting God makes our mundane life not mundane. It blows my mind that I can go somewhere whether it be work, the grocery store, or even school and God allows me to see glimpses into people’s lives or gives me words to say to someone. How boring was it when I didn’t know any of this or choose to walk in this design for my life?? God makes life fun! He doesn’t just make it fun, but He allows us to feel great doing it. Yeah, sometimes its really awkward to step out and make that first move, but wow the benefits that come from it are so worth it! Just being able to see someone else’s face of amazement after you spoke life into them is a thrill! Yeah I sound a little crazy but life chasing after Jesus does seem crazy to our culture, but let me just tell you that it is so worth every bit of uncomfort and awkwardness.

These are words I got from God as I sat in my room last night not being able to sleep due to the business of my mind… “Be still, I am God. I have a plan. This plan will exceed far past what your eye can see and your imagination can take you. The vision may look hazy right now, but it is only because I am preparing you. You are being strengthened right now. I am fast at work in your heart piecing together a masterpiece. You are my son, my beloved, the one who I am most proud of. The one I brag about and am jealous for, the one I can’t go a day without being near. You are My favorite! You will be prepared to do great and mighty things for people . You will be used by Me to bring freedom to the many hardened and hopeless hearts around you. You are being intricately trained for work that can only be done by few and chosen. I choose you and I await your “yes” every morning you wake up. I am your Abba and nothing can change that. I paid a high price for you and there are no returns or exchanges. I hand picked you, you, the one with no flaws, the one who is fully restored by Me. Your fears and struggles  are things that never go unnoticed. I see each one and hold them in the palm of My hand. I am tuning you just the way I want and nothing you did in the past can or has altered My opinions of you. Each day you become more perfect to me and I get excited just at the sound of your voice. Nothing is too big for Me to help you through. I placed each person in your life for a reason; past, present, and future. Every hand shake, eye glance, and hug is all a part of My perfect plan. You are loved so much! I can’t begin to explain how proud I am of all you accomplished thus far. Just wait to see what I have for you next! Be excited. Be expectant. Your river is going to be overflowing more than it already is now. You are a highly trained assassin who will do outrageous damage to the enemy. This will bring sight to those who couldn’t see before, noise to those who couldn’t hear, and life to those who are dead inside. Are you ready…? Because I know you are! When you are feeling down try sitting alone quietly and just ask God a question. He waits for you to ask. It isn’t something scary or hard. It is something that will fill you up and encourage you for this thing we call life…TRY IT!

Just like this little kid who is hopeful and ready for adventure, so am I! As many of you may already know, I am excited to say that I have applied and been accepted to go on a mission’s trip through an organization called YWAM (Youth With A Mission). The entire program is 6 months long. The first 3 months I will be in Kona, Hawaii for the “lecture phase” where I will be trained for outreach at their Awaken Discipleship Training School with a team. The Awaken DTS will also include:   * Learning to hear and obey God’s voice through the Word of God and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. * Understanding the world we live in and the importance of worship, intercessory prayer, community    and spiritual warfare. * Discovering callings and gifts.  The field assignment: After this training, I will be putting into practice all I have learned. This next phase of the DTS is 11-12 weeks long and will take place overseas. I am not sure on the exact location yet because I will choose upon my arrival in Kona. I will be taking the Gospel to places where people may have never even heard the name of Jesus and participating in expanding God’s kingdom. Outreach activities will include:* evangelism * teaching * preaching * prophesying and reaching out to present Jesus in a variety of other creative, apostolic ways. I am believing that when God said we would do greater things than Jesus, that he meant it!Course fees and dates:  Arrival day for Hawaii is July 5, 2012 Total estimated cost is $9,995Fees for the 12-week lecture phase of the school are $3,995 (room, board and tuition). Fees for the field assignment include airfares, housing and food, and are estimated to be around $5,000-$6000 depending on various locations. This money will also provide two meals a day, all air fair, living expenses, as well as health insurance. The trip is being funded entirely through donations as well as myself. I am excited about the opportunity to serve and to minister, and I ask you to join me in ministry. I am seeking your support and prayers for this mission trip.  How you can help:  If you are able to assist with this trip, there are a couple ways to donate. CHECKS: I would ask that you forward any donation to me with the check or money order payable to “Water of Life” as they will be handling all my funds. These checks are tax deductible and you will receive your tax receipts at the end of the year. In the memo line, please write “Eric Sepulveda: Kona Awaken DTS Missionary 2012”ONLINE: 1. go to wateroflifecc.org 2. Create a Water of Life web account (only if don’t have already) 3.

break my heart.

Tonight, going to church was a complete blessing in disguse. I was asked last week to come and check out our Jr high and high school ministry because I was someone they were hoping would start working in this ministry. I was able to get off work and go and wow…God really rocked my little world I live in. The theme of tonight was “break my heart for what breaks Yours” and God really showed up and broke my heart. I witnessed a lot of hurting students and felt their pains and sadness. These weren’t small issues either, these were heavy and deep. I have to admit that I wasn’t ready for that. The holy spirit really showed up tonight and I felt helpless in a way. I wanted to help so many of the hurting students and I was really put down because I was in a vulnerable position. What I’m trying to get at is, I really was able to see what Jesus sees and how desperately he wants to help all the time but is in a position that He really can’t unless we really open our heart to him and allow him to take over. I understand that i have a god who is so in love with me and is waiting to help me with whatever I need help with. The passion these young students have for God really inspired me tonight to live a more faith filled and devoted life and to really let go of the small things that are no match for God. LET GO LET GOD

As hard as this recovery process is going for me, I realized that each day I am getting better and that each day I wake up and breath, I got another chance at this thing we call life. Life is an amazing thing if you play the cards right. Be thankful and blessed each day, no matter the condition you are stuck in. Everything happens the way it is suppose too. Someone once told me that my scars are beautiful because they saved my life, and I stand firmly on that comment and will never be ashamed of the way my body was reconstructed to make me whole again, I will be confident and press forward and strengthen other’s with the challenges I have been through. I am here and alive for one reason, to live a life for a God that is so much bigger than anything I can imagine and feel so blessed and honored to say that. Always remember the little things, those are what sometimes keep me going: Take chances, tell the truth, date someone totally wrong for you, say no, save some cash but also spend some because you can’t take it with you, get to know someone random, say I love you, sing out loud, learn atleast 3 good jokes, cry, apologize, tell someone how much they mean to you, laugh till your stomach hurts, live life, have no regrets. With that said, you get one shot with life, and yes, sometimes we have some road blocks but just look at it this way, maybe the road block is saving you from something worse that would have happened.  Isaiah 41:10So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
