A week ago we stumbled into this lobby, bleary eyed and exhausted from all day air travel and meeting the humidity of Nicaragua head on in the parking lot. Tonight, we're packing our bags, significantly fewer and lighter than what arrived with us! We're torn between excitement about returning to hot showers, soft beds with extra pillows, sinks where you can brush your teeth without bottled water and other such luxuries, and a little sadness that the torch has passed now to the next team, the next town, and the next mission. We've left behind the clothes and supplies that we can spare, and will continue to love and support the Nicaraguan people and GHO with our prayers long after our daily routines become "routine" again.
God has opened our eyes, our ears, and our hearts this week in a dozen different ways. While each trip and each individual's experience is a bit different, one common theme will always echo through--Our God is an AWESOME God, and we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord. Geography, genetics, and language may vary, but we are more alike than different. By humbling ourselves and answering His call to participate on this fantastic journey, we truly have received so much more than we have given.
