The land of Brotherly Love! Part 2 of ? Week 2 Part 1 of 2

Heb 13:1 
Let brotherly love(Philadelphia) continue. 

Shalom brothers and sisters in Messiah! Praying you are having 
a blessed time wherever you are around the world.
Here are some more pictures from our trip to Filadelfia!

Brianna making muffins. She REALLY likes them!
 We took a trip to town to buy groceries for the week. 
Had a very good time and helped Mrs. Ramirez and my mom buy them.

Here are some pics of the trip:

 I find this very interesting. There are 3 of these "rapture" signs within 4 miles of one another!
 It seems that this was a VERY big deal... 9 months ago...
The farmers market in Liberia. A LOT of selection here! It goes for over 2 blocks!
I bought them some ice cream. They were very happy, as you can see.
 __________________________________________________________________________________

Then, it was time to get ready for Shabbat...
My mom making Challah(it was very YUMMY!) She is such a good Challah baker when we go out. When we are at the farm Mrs. Suzanne normally makes it.
Bringing in Shabbat... 

Matthew 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city to be hidden on a mountain. 
15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket,
 but on a lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house.
 16 Let your light so shine before men, so that they see your good works
 and praise your Father who is in the heavens."


 

Our dinner! Pastelon(Meat, Plantains, and Beans) with Rice. VERY yummy!

Studying the Torah Portion together...

This little guy came for a visit too...

The next day we went to the river again. Had a good time but didn't get any fish :'(...
Another picture of the river. It LOOKS peaceful, but there are "crocs" in there. 
Haven't seen any though...

♫♪♪Home, home on the RANGE!!!♪♪♫

I LOVE YHVH'S BEAUTIFUL CREATION!!!

And it's amazing abundance of nourishing food!
Isaiah 55:10-13
 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 
11  So is My Word that goes forth from My mouth – it does not return to Me empty, 
but shall do what I please, and shall certainly accomplish what I sent it for. 
12  For with joy you go out, and with peace you are brought in – the mountains and the hills 
break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field clap the hands.
 13  Instead of the thorn the cypress comes up, and instead of the nettle the myrtle comes up. 
And it shall be to YHVH for a name, for an everlasting sign which is not cut off.” 


HalleluYAH!!

The land of Brotherly Love! Part 1 of ? Week 1

Heb 13:1 
Let brotherly love(Philadelphia) continue. 

Shalom brothers and sisters in Messiah! 
Forgive me for not blogging in a while but I am going to try to do better. 
Anyway, on to what we have been doing!

We have left our little house in the forest and have gone for a little trip to the land of brotherly love, Filadelfia(Spanish for Philadelphia). We are staying with the Ramirez family. 
They have blessed us so much by letting us stay at their home. We have been sharing a lot of our experiences with them and have been talking about what we have learned the past 3 years. We have been blessed by them as much as they have been by us being here.


On to the pictures!
___________________________________________________________________________________

My wonderful mother and her beloved sister Lorena making bread(YUMMY!) Maybe sisterly love fits better! I just also saw the bread and seems to fit "sisters of the bread", Yahshua the "Bread of Life", get it? It was also Challah 101. Toda sister Moira your ministry has reached Costa Rica. HalleluYAH!
Proverbs 31:10-12, 28-31
Who does find a capable wife? For she is worth far more than rubies. 
11  The heart of her husband shall trust her, And he has no lack of gain. 
12  She shall do him good, and not evil, All the days of her life.
28  Her children shall rise up and call her blessed; Her husband too, and he praises her: 
29  “Many daughters have done nobly, But you have risen over them all.” 
30  Loveliness is deceptive And prettiness is vain, A woman who fears YHVH is to be praised. 
31  Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.

The Shabbat Table

Getting ready to start Shabbat with the Ramirez's and Lorena's brother.
Now for my 2nd favorite part about Shabbat
(besides reading Torah and resting), 
DINNER and DESSERT!
White sauce Lasagna with chicken
Lemon Moose(SUPER YUMMY!)
Shabbat Breakfast: Watermelon, bread with Jelly and Cream Cheese, and Banana-Pineapple muffins.
YUMMY!!

Getting ready for the Torah Portion, the spiritual food.

My beautiful mother!!! Love you Mommy! She is ALWAYS happy, even when she doesn't look like it...

 The next day we went to the Tempisque river. 
It was a beautiful day outside so we went fishing and spent time see all of YHVH's creation!

Psalms 98:8
Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy before YHVH...

                                                   
We are glad that there were no Crocs! This river has a history of crocodiles but there weren't any, but there are quite a few birds by the river...

                                                   
  Fish for "dinner"... ok maybe not. 
We have tried twice for 10 hrs combined and have caught 3 little fish like this.
I think the fish are smarter than us... LOL
                                                                      
This is one of the best pics of Shalom. YHVH's creation is unbelievable!

Talking Scripture with my dad. 
Young men and women, 
if you want to learn how to live your life, 
go to your parents to find the example. 
They may not be perfect, but if they try to live and walk like Yahshua,
then you will find the answer to your situation.

Have more pictures to put on soon! But for now...

SHALOM!

Mayim Chayim

John 7:37-38
And on the last day, the great day of the festival, Yahshua stood and cried out, saying, 
“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and let him who believes in Me drink. 
38  “As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall flow rivers of Mayim Chayim(living water).”

My mom is doing such a great job with the things that she makes with her hands. 
She has such a heart to make these things to bless others. 
Please bless her by commenting on her site
and if you can, please buy one of the shawls.
 
Prayer shawls make special gifts for those who are suffering. 
They can be comforting to the sick and elderly.  
Our tallits come with matching tzitziot and most come with a head covering. 
All of these shawls are made with great love and care.  
You will be blessed as you bless our family, 
while allowing us to go and share the truth with others.
 
If you want to help but don't have the finances to do it, the best way to support us is by sharing our websites on the internet(Blogspot, Facebook, etc.). It would be such a blessing!

Speaking of Facebook, we have just made a new Facebook page for my mom's site!

Check it out here, like the page, and share it with others:Mayim Chayim Inspirations

Shalom and may YHVH bless you!

 

Here are the ones she has available RIGHT NOW! Click the pictures to see the link.

Panama Trip Parts 3 and 4- Baby Gabriella's Presentation/Mrs. Yahdira's Mikveh

This is a 2 part blog. The 1st part is about a baby named Gabriela Alejandra, and the 2nd part is about a lady named Yadira.

First: Baby Gabriela Alejandra.

Psalms 127:3
Look, children are an inheritance from YHVH, The fruit of the womb is the reward.

Psalms 71:5-6
For You are my expectation, Master YHVH, my Trust from my youth.
 Upon You I have leaned from my birth; You took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of You.

When we were in Panama with the Jimenez family introduced us to Viviana. She has been recently seeking the truth of Torah with the Jimenez and had been going through much turmoil in her life. Pray that she continues to search the truth and learns how to live her life like YHVH wants. Pray that YHWH provides for her and her 2 daughters.

 She has a baby girl 2 months old that was born prematurely. Her name is Gabriela Alejandra. She is a beautiful baby girl and so tiny.

On to the pictures:
Such an adorable little girl!
Mrs. Viviana wanted my dad to present the baby to YHVH.
The main point of this presentation is that the mother makes a vow to YHVH to raise the baby up as Torah says and raise her to be a woman of YHVH. It was a very beautiful presentation.
Pro 22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he turns not away from it.
Deu 6:3-7  “And you shall hear (Shema-hear and obey), O Yisra’ĕl, and shall guard to do, that it might be well with you, and that you increase greatly as יהוה Elohim of your fathers has spoken to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey. “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one! “And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might. “And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart,  and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up,

Ahh! My mom loves little babies. SO cute!
Part 2 Mrs. Yadira's Mikveh

Acts 8:35-37
And Philip opening his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, brought to him the Good News: Yahshua! 36  And as they were going on the way, they came to some water. 
And the eunuch said, “Look, water! What hinders me from being immersed?” 
37  And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, it is permitted.”
And he answering, said, “I believe that Yahshua the Messiah is the Son of Elohim.”

This is a very cool story. The same day we did the baby presentation, one of the ladies, Yadira, comes and tells my dad that she wants to be Immersed(Mikvah). She had been immersed in the christian church but wanted to be Mikvah in the name of YHVH and Yahshua. We were trying to figure out a date and a place to do it when she asked, "Hey, there's water close by, why can't I be baptized today?"


The personal decision of Mikvah acknowledges and makes public confession of the sins (lawlessness) showing a repentant heart(T'shuv). In the Mikvah one is submersed  in a sign of being reborn and cleansed. HalleluYAH! Now she has Mikvah in the Name of YHWH and Yahshua HaMashiach.

  From now on we will call her Yahdira. Rejoice. Mat 28:19-20  “Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-apart Spirit, teaching them to guard all that I have commanded you. And see, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Amĕn. 

Please pray that the provision for us to return to Panama is supplied. We want to invest in peoples lives for a reward that has infinite value. There is a girl being instructed so she can Mikvah when we return.
Num 6:24-26 
“יהוה bless you and guard you;  יהוה make His face shine upon you, and show favour to you;  יהוה lift up His face upon you, and give you Shalom/Shalem.”
