Refreshing

Wednesday was probably the hottest day I remember, we had Abdiel naked all they long in front of  a fan. I had Ice cold water at hand to drink and I know I took at least six showers throughout the day. it was just hot.

Spiritually, not very different. 

Some days can be spiritually exhausting. Sometimes it is just life. Ministry can bring you to a point were you just need to be refreshed. Sometimes, like most Dominicans, you just need to yell "it´s hot!!!!"

Last night I met with some friends, all of us going through struggles, in my case I had been going slower and slower in my serving the Lord. The spiritual stamina has been becoming less and less. God brought us together so we could just help one another and encourage one another in those ministries God has called us. 

It´s not like I´m about to give up. It´s more like I need to find some shade, drink some water wipe my forehead, tell a joke and keep on walking. 

I´m glad, very glad, to know I have people praying for me,  holding their shields to pretect me in battle, as I hold my  shield to protect them as well. I´m very glad to know I have friends whose care can be refreshing 

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 

13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 

14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 

15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business 

instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

John 15:12-15 NIV
