Little joys in life...

The sky was greyish blue, it had the feel of a rainbow, but when I went outside, there wasn't one.  I thought to myself, there has to be one.  This is the perfect sky for it.  I waited and there was nothing...so I walked back inside, and talked to God, " I just want to see a rainbow.  Will you give me a rainbow here in Costa Rica?"

A few minutes later, as I was doing my laundry on my back patio, my neighbour came out on her patio and said, " Kimia, there's a beautiful rainbow out in front."  I dropped everything and ran through my small apartment to the front to see this beautiful rainbow.  I stood there in awe of it's beauty and giving thanks to the Lord for giving it to me.

He knew what I needed. I needed a rainbow.  Why?  It's a reminder to me of all of God's promises.  His promises are abundant...He will never leave me...He will be my provider...He will be my joy...He will be my guide...He will be forever...He will never change...He will always love me...He is my Father...I am His child...He will walk with me...He will listen to me...He will never let me go...He is my refuge...He is my strength...He will go before me...He forgives me...and the list goes on!

Thank you Lord for this rainbow in your creation!

Always in HIS hands!!

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.   The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.  The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.   You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.   The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.  The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.   He fulfils the desires o those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145:13b-19 I don't know about you, but I find great joy in reading the scriptures.  Over the past couple weeks I have really enjoyed the Psalms, the fact that there is so much depth to them and that many of them have spoken right to my heart.  The verses above, I read today.  I was sitting in El Bosque Parque reading and just soaking up all that the Lord has done in my life.   I am reminded that the Lord ...

His Love Will Never Fail!

Enjoying a girls afternoon! Dear Friends, One year ago, this month, I left the states to be a missionary, a desire the Lord put in my heart a long time ago.  I left for Colombia, South America and a short time later, I moved to Costa Rica to study Spanish.  Living in Costa Rica is amazing.  From the sunny days and cool evenings to the people I meet and have the opportunity to pray with and share Christ with, I couldn't ask for anything better. And I am thankful to stay for a little while longer.  You read that correctly.   I have been given the opportunity to continue to study Spanish (which I am so thankful for), build relationships and live life here sharing the Gospel until... the LORD knows!  Flexibility is the key...   Proverbs 19:21 says,  "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."   The  LORD  is directing my steps a little d...

The adventures of Mini-Pete and Pals!

Exploring, climbing, hiding, is what we, Mini-Pete, Charlie and Tiger enjoy doing.  We've had some great adventures...Before we begin...let me officially introduce ourselves. The yellow lab- that is me Mini-Pete,  Tiger is in the middle and Charlie is the German Shepherd The journey of Mini-Pete just began with me, years ago traveling by myself.  However a year ago, I was told you need a friend to travel with, so Charlie came on board.  Charlie and I both came from the same home- so it was nice to catch up after several years and it was very kind of Shelly to give us both to Kimia.   This is Kimia-an adventurous, fun and loving person. The fact that she takes two little dogs and tiger with her about every where she goes..tell you that she is young at heart . You see, Kimia is quite adventurous and we really enjoy traveling with her.  To be honest, you never really know what your getting into until you spend a lot of time with her...Once...
