New things [Cy]

Hello friends,

I want to tell you what has happened in these last days in terms of the wedding. God has done some marvelous things, He’s opened doors where befote there were none. The first thing, and most important to me, is that I have found my wedding dress; it was a tough job y a lot walking, but finally God took me to the perfect place to find it. Other miracles have also happened. A professional chef from my church offered to cook for us for free so that we could eat well in the reception. We only need to buy the ingredients. Also, two of my aunts are going to help with desserts. We have received the sound equipment as well. We have someone to translate and interpret the ceremony and the reception. All this is completely free. So God has been leveling all this out for us. We have also found many things with great offers. I thank God because He has oponed up those doors.

In the country there is a lot of pressure due to the political situation. The elections are almost here and the economic situation isn’t so great. But even in the midst of all this, I can see God is with us. I confess that it’s all a challenge to have the wedding on the 6th because it will be 3 days after the elections. That will determine if many of our friends and family will come or not. The one understandable reason for not coming is that. And just the same I want to thank the effort of every one of them. Whenever you think of me, please pray for all this so that God gives us peaceful days for the wedding and so that every person that wants to come may come without problems.

Las night God woke me up to tell me that I was in the middle of a strong spiritual war and that I must fight. He said that up until now I haven’t been fighting, but that now is the time to stand up in prayer so that all the things for the wedding can come to pass. I can recognize that I have had a relaxed attitude with all this, as if I was waiting for everything to turn our well without God’s intervention. But it was God who united Rob and I and I’m sure that He wants the protagonist’s role in all this. God spoke to me that I should be encouraged because He has given me the strength to get to the end. He is always with me. This is the way things are, it’s a war. Christ already won, but I must take this truth to obtain a new victory in Him.

Thanks for your prayer support, but I would like to ask you to not rest, but rather continue praying for Rob and I. I know that for him it’s difficult. Please don’t stop writing us, that is one way you can really support us. We always need messages that encourage us, to hear reports from your lives, greetings, etc.

May God bless you. Ephesians 3:20

Please be assured of my prayers Cy. I know it's tough but these tough times are what builds character and hope. You will be able to look back in the years to come and reflect with joy the things you learnt through these times. Praise the Lord for His answer to prayers. May you continue to experience His provision in your life.
