Hola de Guatemala! J
It’s great to be back here. So much is familiar, yet a lot is different too.
God is doing so much here, I don’t have the time or space to write it all, but
I have a few quick stories! Every group
usually has a verse that is kind of on the hearts of everyone. This year the verse has been Jeremiah 29:11.
I don’t know exactly why, maybe it’s because I’ve heard that verse so much that
I just kind of tuned it out, yeah God has things planned, you all know the
story. Well, this morning when I woke up I put on my “old work pants” that I
haven’t worn in weeks, in the pocket was Jeremiah 29:11 written on a note card.
I have no idea when I wrote that but it was there for me to find this morning.
It was humbling, like God was saying, who are you to choose which verse is
important or not? I took that verse in for the first time today and I gotta say
it felt good. On a “Malnutrition Center” note, the kids in my group were really
sharing the word…. A 2 year old girl, Josephina was carefully ripping out pages
of her little picture bible and handing them to all the kids. I guess that’s
one way to do it…. But I’m looking forward to the next three days, I know this
morning will not be the last time I’ll be humbled and I welcome the changes
this beautiful country and trip brings not only to my lifestyle but to my
spiritual life as well. In the words of
Whitney Freeman, “Buenas Nachos!”. ~Kristen
