"The greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph."

We watched this magnificent clip today called The Butterfly Circus, and I strongly suggest watching it. I posted the link! While it does not have a biblical background, many biblical truth's can be taken away from it. "The greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph," is the major lesson and I was truly inspired by this. Think of how good it feels when we overcome something we thought was always going to be a stronghold. That strength to rise above it comes from God. It eventually allows us see more of who God sees us as instead of our distorted view of His creation. "He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength...but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:29-31
This week has definitely been tough. The lectures have been beyond my own brain. My beliefs have been challenged tremendously and I do not know what is happening! I am still processing the things I have seen, but I cannot deny they weren't real because I saw it. But above all, God is faithful and He will reveal any type of clarity that I need. 
As for outreach's, they have been very interesting. The first two days were based on Luke 10:1-12, we paired with a church planting team and went out to find "son's of peace." I was with Jonah the first day and we got lost but we kept praying "God this happened for a reason, Lord show us the fruit of this night" and as soon as we turned the corner we ran into a guy our age who "just happened" to be a christian and "just happened" to already be a part of small groups with his friends. It was such a God moment! So we gave him the group's information and hopefully he will help them out! We were the only people out of 50 to talk to a single person. It was amazing. The next day we did the same thing and invited people to a "know love night" that we are hosting saturday night. It will be a night of getting to know people, listening to great music and sharing testimonies! Last night we went into the main strip in Zurich and were told to just listen to what God wants us to. So we got the idea to go to this shop with extremely fancy dresses and suits (that look like they could be mens or women's) and it was a great conversation starter! So we argued about what they were and would ask people on the street to give their opinions, and we were able to talk to so many people! It went from talking about suits to talking about Jesus. Some people God wanted us just to laugh with them, so we did! But some we went further with. It was so much fun! After the ministry time a few of us went to sit on a wall over looking Zurich and we sang disney songs and christmas songs, it was such a cheerful time! I am so blessed to be here. I hope I never forget that, I am only here by the grace of God.
