I am sitting here in a cafe in Guatemala, listening to powerful words from Delta Spirit (thank you Charlie) and cannot believe that I am here. I am actually here. All this planning and preparation and support raising (which I am still doing) has finally come to a point. I am not feeling how i anticipated. I am not experiencing what I thought I would. I’m terrified and elated all at the same time. I don’t know if my heart can grow anymore but it does. Every day my heart grows for people. These people of the nations. I want nothing more for all the earth to know His name. I knew going into this that I wanted to help people and love them but i didn’t expect to want to bleed for them. My heart flutters at the very thought of the people I have already encountered and the lives I might touch. It beats so hard I have to wonder, is this good for my blood pressure?
We are still in Antigua. My team, Rhema and another team, Logos venture to Puerto Barrios tomorrow. Yay!!!!! 7 hour bus ride (I love you, dramamine). We are going to be on the coast. Yes, that means the beach. Yes, that’s right. I get to live on the beach for the next 3 weeks of my life. I guess you could say I’m as happy as a clam!!! Pretty much a dream come true…… living on the beach and telling people how great Jesus is!!! We will be doing a lot of manual labor (painting, building, etc.) and preaching in a church there. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a fear of public speaking. I’m nervous but so excited at the same time. I know that God is with me. I know that when I get up there and speak it will be Him speaking through me. I am His tool. I just have to say “yes”, and I say “yes”.
Anyway…. there will be more updates soon and lots of pictures!!! Miss you all!!!
Much love
