I’m gonna miss it.
I’m going to miss those nights screaming worship songs while dead tired on the way back from ministry.
I’m gonna miss it.
Looking out past the early sunset at the incredible sea of village lights strewn out across the rolling hills and valleys of Costa Rica.
I’m going to miss struggling with Spanish through simple conversations with the people I call family from the streets and communities of San Jose. I’m gonna miss the unmistakable joy of each individual tico and tica at 5:15 in the morning as they travel with the sun to their daily destination. I’m gonna miss sitting outside in the cool mornings looking out at the cloud covered mountain that defines our daily view. I’m gonna miss listening to the array of exotic sounds every morning as the creatures and life of the island wake up to face the day. I’m gonna miss those moments where I step back during ministry and think about the wild life that is right in front of me. Where passion is illustrated through dance and expression. Where culture is defined by relationship rather than classification. Where love is shown through authenticity. I’m gonna miss the early evening walks through perfect weather around Curridabat while we look up and marvel at the beauty of the pink and purple sky. I’m going to miss the traffic filled van rides that defined our weekend surfing experiences. I’m gonna miss the Costa Rican brothers and sisters that the Lord placed directly in my life to grow me and change me.
I’m gonna miss Costa Rica.
So I’m actually in the DR now. . . HA, but the previous Costa Rica paragraph was something I wrote last week to help me debrief leaving as we transitioned countries. I’m currently working on my first official blog for the DR as well, so I won’t spoil too much, but just to give a hint, the Lord is GOOD. Our time here has already been life changing and I can’t wait to share with you all! Also just a small update, I was able to purchase wifi on my laptop in order to keep up with my internship work and that kind of thing, so if you need to/would like to contact me, my gmail would probably be best ([email protected]).
Also just a quick update with what you can be praying for over here in the ole DR. . . We’re currently quarantining at the base for the next week or so while some Covid tests are getting cleared up, so do be praying that those clear up quickly! Another thing! Surrender is still hard. It’s still SO good. But it’s still hard, ha surprise. I miss the fam. I miss my girl. I miss chick-fil-a (Ok that one isn’t as hard). Surrendering communication to an even further extent is tough sometimes, but I know it grows trust in so many different areas, so praise God! But yeah, just pray for further trust and deeper planted feet here.
I love you guys and I’m praying for you!
