today Team Luminous went to church with our ministry contact, SonIa.
we left the base at the exact time church was supposed to start. supposed to.
and we only walked down the street and around the corner.
which was convenient.
it became even more convenient when i realized we are operating under Bolivian time,
meaning events start long after they are advertised to begin.
the service was in English.
and i knew that before we arrived.
so excitement over the thought of
easily following the speaker's message was almost too much.
but when the sermon began… and peaked… then ended
and my note page looked nice and neat,
my head and my heart both sighed from being underwhelmed.
truth.
in that moment, i missed scribbling ferociously,
looking slightly confused,
tuning out the thoughts of the rest of my day,
and guessing which of my cheeks was going to get more kisses.
i could tell i was not going to want to immediately go and study out what i learned
to fill in the gaps of my understanding before i forgot what the Spirit was sort of telling me.
i closed my bible and went looking for the refreshment table.
only pink lemonade could make it all better.
change is happening.
slowly realizing that i enjoy the sound of foreign languages in the morning…
