Summer's Almost Gone...

... well, kind of. The fact is that with 365 days of sunshine here a year, summer never really goes away, but sadly, summer groups do. And what a summer we had! We had teams here from all over, painting, mixing cement, laying block, playing and sharing Jesus with innumerable amounts of children and helping many, many more get healthy. We played softball, hiked waterfalls, saw rock concerts, survived a flood and a nation-wide strike, pushed buses out of the mud, danced merengue with our sponsor kids, saw the lame walk again (thanks to our prosthetic team), hosted one of the most incredible worship nights that I've ever been a part of and we grew and we loved and we were forever changed.

Sometimes the repetitious things about our days (laundry, dishes, toilets breaking, grocery shopping) make life seem so mundane... but then you look back and WOW! Look what God has done! Look at this adventure! And in spite of my weariness or ignorance- he's working and he's moving and LIFE is happening! What a cool and overwhelming story he's telling- and I'm a player in it! Shame on me for ever forgetting that or for ever letting a moment slip by when I'm not caught up in the awe and wonder of it all. God is so good. Life is so good.
