Hola! Monday Morning has arrived!

It started off a little rainy, but thank goodness that has subsided! (for now at least).

I have been drinking my cup of cafe, and I opened up my journal and started to read the memories from Panama. i.miss.it.so.much.

I literally would do anything to go back right now.

It just reminded me of how much I need to pray for them.

I went on to opening my bible to Psalm 32. I was planning on talking about the rest of the chapter, but I only got a verse further. It is enough for one day.

I will teach and instruct you in the way

you should go;

I will counsel you with my eye upon

you.

//Psalm 32:8\\

God, before the creation of the world, predestined our lives.

He knew he was going to instruct us. He keeps His eyes upon us. He shows us the right vs. the wrong.

And He counsels us.

I am going to just dwell on the verse for today...and let you dwell on it, too!

I'll blog about some thoughts on it later!

Have a wonderful day & week.

hugs and love,

...culture shock...

i have safely returned from Chilibre, Panama (home of the smell of poop).
even though I have returned home, that does not mean I feel home.
I boarded the plane on Tuesday morning, but my heart did not.
My heart was left with all of the children, all of the people, all of the cities, all of the hospitals, the YWAM base...that is where my heart is at. I packed 7 hats with me on this trip..and I gave away every single one. I gave them away as a sign of placing my heart at 7 different places. I would carefully decide throughout my time at these places to whom I would place them with. It was such a wonderful experience. I know those people need those hats a lot more than I do. It is something for me to remember them by, and vise versa.
At the time of boarding the plane I was kind of in a haze, and I was very ready to be home, see my family, and eat my kind of food. I woke up Wednesday morning, in shock. I did not want to be home. I wanted to be in Panama. I wanted to be serving. I didn't want to be receiving. I want to end poverty. I want to embrace all of the Latino children again...I want to mess around in the kitchen with the sweet ladies again. It was such an eye opening experience.

I will post pictures from the trip later..promise!

 Me and Lindsay reunite with Liz!
