Hello again America. What a journey and transition it has been back to the consumerist, fact-paced, materialism United States that I know as my home country. I have been back from the beautiful nation of Guatemala since this past Monday where my team and I grew together, served one another, others, and the Lord. My eyes were opened and I was taught a whole lot in regards to ministering and being ministered to. For specific day to day details of my trip I would ask that you go TO THIS WEBSITE which was the blog I kept in Guatemala. Over the next days, weeks, and months I am certain that stories, memories, and wisdom I have gained from this trip will spill out in lots of conversations. At this moment I feel as though I haven't had much time to process for myself exactly what happened and how it has shaped me but I know that will come with time and patience. For now, I will share just some of my many pictures, and I pray you would see the beauty of the Lord in each and every smile through the pictures, as I did in person :)
"For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!' The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirir that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him." -Romans 8:14-17
