i have His song stuck in my head.

Jenny, I have been drinking your coffee and thinking of you. Colombian coffee is the best. And someday I wan´t to drink it IN Colombia with you. I miss you so much. I miss your stories, your wisdom, and your calming presence. I hope God is moving in your life right now and can´t wait to hear stories when we both get back to Pichilemu. Stay strong woman.

He estado Tomando tu cafe y pensando en ti. Cafe Colombiano es lo mejor. Y algun dia quiero tomarlo EN Colombia contigo. TE EXTRAÑO MUCHO. Extraño tus historias, tu sabiduria, y tu presencia calmada. Espero que Dios se este moviendo en tu vida en este momento y no puedo esperar escuchar tus historias cuando regresemos a Pichilemu. Mantente Firme Mujer!

You know those days you want to be able to always have in your back pocket so you can pull it out and re-live it whenever you want? This was one of those days.

The day after my birthday we went to a town out in the country to spend time sharing with the community and that evening we had a service with dramas, preachings, etc. The family served us lunch and we spent time talking with them and their neighbors. Oh, and they had a pet monkey. Best thing ever? Yeah.

On May first we took the bus downtown for some May Day shinanigans.

Whenever I fill up my journal, that day I sit down with a cup of coffee and read through the whole thing cover to cover. This is one of the entries I found from this past November.

Most of us go through life,

just plodding through our average lives.

Climbing over a couple rocks, enjoying a few nice trails.

Hardships, sure. Blessings, sure.

But what kills me is that we have the risen Lord walking beside us.

Sure we would say that we know this, but do we know this?

The few of us who actually live as though the risen Lord walks beside us, those are the few of us who begin to experience what we were intended to experience.

We begin to see the world shake.

“Indeed we felt that we had recieved the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.”
