...that only last night I was still in Costa Rica. I miss it very much already. I wasn't expecting to feel such sadness and heartache as I do now. I miss the beautiful jungle(it really was the most breathtakingly beautiful place I have ever been), the amazingly selfless people, the lack of distractions and possessions, the adventures that every new day brought, and the comfort of constantly being surrounded by so many strong christian people. We all worked together, in the rain, under a boiling sun, covered in mud, or venturing through the rivers and jungles of our missions field. Right now I feel so overcome with emotions and memories of the last 10 days of my life. So much happened, so much changed...
Throughout the next few days a weeks I will surely be writing about my travels. At this moment though I still need time to collect my thoughts and catch up on some much needed sleep. All I can say is thank You God. Thank You for giving me this opportunity even though I did not deserve it whatsoever. Thank You for letting me feel Your presence like never before. Thank for working miracles right before my eyes. You are a mighty God!
Costa Rica
Forever in my memory they will be
lives of glorious surrender
love overflowing for God and King
oh how beautiful is the scarcity
of possessions and famed glory
in place of these is found humility
eyes set above, hearts overflowing with love
oh that I might be but a glimmer of these
oh that I would see the reality
of a God so mighty, so pure and lovely
to be free in Him
loving all without a thought of me
this is what my life must be
~a poem written while in Costa Rica, July 27-August 5 2009.
