So I am sure after reading the previous blogs from Nicaragua you are thinking, Wow… it must of been a horrible time. And I apologize if that is how I have lead you to believe! It was an awesome experience and I would not have changed one second of it. Through all of these experiences, we are molded and shaped into the people that we are in the present. And although Sarah will have a Harry Potter looking lightning bolt scar on her leg, she is healthy and fine now. She actually gets her stitches out tomorrow. The doctors said that the work that was done was the same great care that she would have gotten anywhere here in the states!!
The Lord used the time of the attack as one to bring all of us together again. The team had been getting tired and I think a little irritable over the past 2 months and this just helped us to realize how important each person is to the group as a whole. We are all healthy and fine now, back in the states for a little over a week! It still hits me, everytime that I travel, that even though I can be gone for as little as a week to as long as 7 months, I never really feel like I left. Time continues to go on and peoples lives move on to. But being back in the states, I feel like I have never left. But then I look back on the many adventures that we had and the people that we met, and I remember that I was gone, doing the work of the Lord all around the world!! It puts a smile on my face to think about the good times and the bad!
This was a great summer. It was a very busy one, traveling back and forth to the states to go to weddings and then back out to the mission field again!! I loved every second of it. I loved my experience with Global Journey! I love the people that I met along the way and the people on the team! They will all hold a special place in my heart! The team jokes around that I am the motherly one.. and it is true. I wouldn’t want to have any other role!!! Thank you to those who supported me. Thank you to those who have been reading my blogs. I will hopefully continue to write to keep you updated with life. Thanks to my family for always being ok and trusting in the Lord when I travel! I love you all!!
In Nicragua this verse just really stood out to me:
“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare of the Lord: he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting in Him.”
Psalm 91:1-2
“For he orders is angels to protect you where ever you go.” Pslam 91:11
He sure did protect us everywhere that we went!!! The Lord Is Great!!!
