Polaroid PIcture

Life is not always sunsets and palm trees and I'm realizing this more and more every day. The way I view life is as a polaroid picture. God has already taken the picture. He has everything mapped out. Every step we are going to take whether right or wrong. He knows every word we are going to say even before we say it and he knows our actions even before we do them. However for us, the picture is not quite clear yet.   It takes time for the full picture to come into focus. Sometimes it may take our whole lives and the picture is still not completely clear.

Masaya

On our day off a few of us took a trip to Masaya.  On our way home we were able to catch a huge yellow bus that runs as the 'public transportation'.

Malnourished Souls

  “Jesus replied: ‘If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.’” – John 4:10       They stand outside of the hospital.  They whisper nervously in the waiting room.  They crowd the tiny recovery rooms.  Malnourished souls.  It’s not that they don’t necessarily want it.  It could be they don’t know about.  How can they be nourished without knowing the one who can feed them?    Every Wednesday we visit the...
