I have been teaching here in Peru for about 3 months now, and they actually built me my very own classroom which is so awesome...for the exception of the termites that walk across the ceiling...yes..

It amazes me how they can walk upside down on my ceiling..but most of them do until of course they fall down onto the tables where my students are studying. One student told me that she got home and found that one had fallen into her hair.

We have a week off of school this week and they will hopefully get rid of them.

Through this little inconvinence the Lord showed me a cool spiritual analogy..which i would like to share with you... *smiles*

Termites..as i am sure everyone knows eat wood...they come up from the ground and eat...they are ussually unseen until things start falling apart or they eat away so much that they reveal themselves.

Just as we can allow sin to come into our lives and it starts to eat away at our relationship with the Lord. Ever so slowly chomp...chomp...chomp. We eventually have to deal with these termites(sin) in our lives otherwise our lives will begin to be consumed. Everything might still look good on the outside but on the inside there is nothing but sawdust...remnants of what used to be. If not dealt with it will get so bad that it will eventually expose itself, and everyone will see the decay that you have been trying so hard to hide.

To exterminate termites you have to dig a small ditch around the entire foundation of the house and then drive stakes into the foundation which send out signals that attract the termites...they eat the bait and take it to the queen and die.

Through reading the Word of God I am driving spiritual stakes into my foundation. The truth of the Bible attacks and destroys the sin in my life.

Of course there are sometimes when putting those stakes in can be painful and it may seem that it would be easier to just let things go...but remember even though termites are small that doesn't mean that can't destroy everything...because they can and they will.

Also just like the termites in my classroom eventually came out and were dropping on the heads of my students...don't be so ignorant to think that your sin only affects you..because it doesn't. Just like termites spread and multiply so will our sin if it isn't taken to the one that had stakes driven into His hands and absorbed and destroyed all sin once and for all.

Who is that?? His name is Jesus Chirst.

If you have sin that is in your life, perhaps like me you have been a Christian your whole life..or perhaps you've never even heard of Jesus..either way..He loves you and laid down His life so that we might live eternally.

If you would like to know more about Jesus and what He has done for you..please e-mail me I would love to talk to you and pray with you. Also get a bible...read the book of John. Pray(talk to God) ask Him to show you who He is. As you breath your next breath ask yourself who is giving you the ability to do that? You aren't here by accident.

Jesus loves you!
