So As I am getting ready and stoked for a Salsa dance night with an Au pair I met a week ago, invitation to a typically tapas night (typical spanish food -yumm yumm), pre- salsa lessons and then the "salsa" bar every Salsa dancer would love to be in... sounds like un fanstastica night, or not?! well, I found out that my Host parents had already plans for the same night. They even had told me, but her English is very strange and sometimes it doesn’t make sense. So I guess I just didn’t understand-what a misunderstanding. It was quite the “downer” night because of it. But what can you do.
As this is a journey for myself and I have already had a looot of spare time on my hands-which of course my brain loves to use to think about future planning and who I am and more and more and more. I really have gotten into the same conflict.
Is this right, is this going to make me happy. I love Barcelona, but what am I doing after this, what about getting a job again, going to school and so on. One night when those exact thoughts were just overwhelming my head and brain. I just let it go- I cried a few tears of frustration and began praying and reading the bible. (it’s funny because before I left I talked to a friend, who’s sister went to Spain and said that the first view weeks were difficult for her, too- which I mean, I am looooooving it here so much-it’s more a personal conflict, but back to this)
I wish everyone could be blessed to feel the holy spirit, because its one great, great, great sensation.
This I read up on this particular night:
blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding. For she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. Nothing you desire can compare with her
Proverbs 4:13As this is a journey (In Spanish it’s viaje-journey, I learned today :o) ) to finding myself and gaining more knowledge and spirit with god, this was quite amazing to read. Because yes I am doing this to get closer to god and to find myself. I just got to do this the right way! And keeping to it. I read up on some great scriptures! I feel stronger- and I know that struggles are ou ye so good for this journey-that’s what it’s all about!
-when life builds a struggle, I am so thankful for the word of god-as in good times!
Did I tell you all that I found this Church Its callked the "International Church of Barcelona". All english speaking. So I asked my Hostmum how far this church was. She laughed and said, great right around the corner. (for as big of a city Barcii is this must be just really funny-but oh so great) We drove by it -it's about two short trainstops 15 min. I am so happy. This Sunday (domingo-I also learned that today as well) I will be going there for the first time. I am so happy and excited... I will for sure keep you updated!
Ou, I got to tell you about my funny shopping experience… ou my I need Spanish! Stay tuned :-*
