Barcelona

Last weekend I went to Barcelona. It was a different kind of trip in that I actually didn't get to see very much of the actual city of Barcelona. Allow me to explain... I think I have mentioned in an earlier post that a group of Germans from a Bible College in Germany have been travelling across Spain doing mission work and evangelizing. Anyways, we met them at the very beginning of the semester and again the second time they came to Sevilla. They are really sweet people and the love of Christ just shines right through them, you just can't help but feel super happy when you're with them. So, they kind of let us join their group for the week, which was really awesome! We stayed with them at the church, bought some sleeping bags and hit the floor for a few nights, and they also let us join in on their meals as well.

I learned a lot about God during the course of the weekend. Especially how much he loves me. One of the Germans gave a talk one night about the love of God being like a fire. It consumes us, and as it does the Holy Spirit removes all things that are getting in the way of us fully loving God. All we have to do is ask for the Holy Spirit to come, and Jesus promises that he will see it through. He also said at one point, 'God isn't boring, we are!' I liked that a lot because lately I have been reading my Bible and going through the motions as if being a Christian is boring. It is not at all! At least it shouldn't be! God desires us, he wants to have a communion with us that is out of this world. And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with Him!

Suprisingly I didn't take one picture the whole weekend. Every time we went out, I forgot my camera and while we were just hanging out at the church I never thought about it. Strange I know but it's the truth. Sorry! There will be plenty of pictures in my next post about Ronda and Marbella! Till then, see ya!
