Be always available

It was an exhausting day. I was traveling the state to come back my old town, for a conference. I was already late because what I missed the last travel of the day before. So, was a little frustrating too. I was really thinking of skipping that part of the free weekend and just drop everything. But then, the phone call.

My parents have told me that they were in the way to pick me up to go to the conference, so I just let it be. Let’s do this, see what God has reserved for me, I thought. And when I arrived at the place, there was like three thousand or more people listening to one american lady, and her intepreter translating the speech. I started listening and her words captivated me so deeply that I was listening carefully only to her voice and stick to the message. After it, was the praying time for the uncapable of forgiving.

I really needed a emotional healing in this area. That was the moment when the chance of being useful came up for me. I just realized that the evangelist was walking by the people who were from Brazil, as far as I know of, and brazilians in general aren’t english speakers. The interpreter was pregnant and can’t keep walking although I didn’t saw it at the first time. That was when I figured out that wasn’t just a healing time for me, but looking at the bigger picture, opened my eyes and looked at that field. It was ripe for harvest: I could translate for her, I could learn more of the meaning of her work and love while she pours it out and I would be able to see God’s ways in a new perspective, around needy people and a plentyful enviroment for growth of faith and miracles.

So I took it. I came to her and offered me to do the interpreter job for the last moments of the conference, and what I received in exchange was much more than I expected. While I was serving, I was being healed. When she stops praying for others and came to me, I realized my deep traumas and sorrows could be once and for all washed away. And I gave myself to the God’s Will as much as I could that night, until I was empty of me and physically exhausted again in a so much pleasant way. Lately, I realised it was more than two hours helping others and giving my self to them as I followed Kristina’s footsteps. Kristina Collins was her name, and I’m actually amazed by her life’s work. No other name than Jesus was on her lips all that time. And no other feeling than freedom tooked my heart away completely.

Always be prepared to serve anywhere anyway anytime. That’s what the real dream makers do. The ones that take them from the mind to reality. Those who are available no matter the circumstances.

My life’s porpouse is to bring to people’s life knowledge and faith in which they will build a success journey. With the help of God, the humble attitude of Kristina letting me team up with her and a little bit of putting myself available even when I needed so much more be receiving than giving, I was able to accomplish one step closer to this purpose, giving others real hope and revival in the name of Jesus.

I’m so thankful, but I could be regretting now. Do not miss the opportunities. Take all the chances that shows up in your way. God will do the rest, even if it’s impossible.
