Nicaraguan Rich

6/12/11 The market is a terribly beautiful place. When my soul was restless yesterday, I found peace nowhere else but the dirty, crowded, fly-infested chaos of the Jinotepe market. As the flow of Nicaraguans rushed past me in either direction, when I couldn’t decide how much to bargain for shampoo—nor how to bargain in any fashion whatsoever, when the creepy drunk guy professed his love to me, I realized I will always be against the current. I will never know the answers. And I don’t have to. I know the King who does. So you walk down...

God Has Spoken

I went on my first prayer walk of the barrios last week. As we went along, some were going faster and some taking their time praying over specific houses. After a few minutes of silent bickering, Kellie got us together to pray because we all knew that our hearts weren’t right. She was absolutely right.

We have started splitting up into two groups, one group goes to the homes, and the other...

Not that I’m playing favorites, but I kind of am, and my favorite little boy is Melton. He’s Jason’s (Carlos’ friend) little brother and he’s the loudest, cutest little boy that I’ve ever seen in my life! He’s in first grade and he’s officially mine. I tell his brothers that I’m taking his every time I see him! Today he sat with me while the big guys played soccer and found seeds that when you tear them look like hearts. We just kept tearing and making more hearts. Tonight I got to meet his family, which was wonderful because his...
