This indescribable experience, given to me by an even more indescribable God… I can't explain it all. This week has been great in so many ways! I love the sunrises, the coffee, the food, the family time, the people. We've worked on a house for the cook, Estella. We've played with kids in Bethel. We've made relationships with people and had conversations we'll never forget. We've grown closer as a team and gotten to know each other on many more levels. I don't think we could have picked a better ending to this week/start to this upcoming week than what God blessed us with tonight. We went to a Nicaraguan church about 20 or 30 minutes away. After going off-roading to get there, we were greeted by kind smiles and warm hearts, as you would expect. The people were so happy to see us. We sang together in Spanish and English. The awesome thing is that it was such a joyful sound to God even if we didn't know what we were singing; He knows no language, His language is the world! The preacher spoke the TRUTH! We are free; we are capable because God makes us able; not on our own abilities; but because of His grace. And we are called to share that with others. When Christ's life ended, the life I know began. All we have to do is put our trust in Him, have confidence in Him and not ourselves or anything of this world, and we are capable. Capable of being His servant and able to be used for His purposes. This came full circle to a quote our team had talked about earlier this week: God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called.
