Indeed it is true. It must be true you know, after all, it's on the tee-shirt. (Red del Camino)
Obedience to God is a fantastic adventure. I have very recently been warned to "hold onto to the seat of your pants . . . because obedience always brings blessings. " When I look back on the last months and everything that has transpired, I only stand in complete amazement. For a woman who is gifted with words, I cannot seem to come up with any tonight. (I'm going to appropriately blame jet-lag for that.)
But I will say this: I remember my reluctance to follow His call. I remember my reasoning too. I remember arguing. And losing. And being frustrated over losing. And then booking my flight but still not really wanting to go.
Then we prepared for what seemed like a long while. I guess somewhere along the way I got pretty excited about going. Finally it was June 23rd the day we took off for Costa Rica. Somos Seis! Were on our way. Each of us doing excatly what God called us there to do.
The experience was unforgettable. We worked hard, laughed harder, met many wonderful Ticos, ate well, conversed, drank in the beauty of the Rain Forest, experienced God, and loved much.
It was 9 days of memories that will take me just as long to record. So I think my life should have a pause button as far as blogging is concerned. But it doesn't. Instead I will be blogging intermittently about Costa Rica for a long time. The trip was fantastico! I believe I will not fully know the impact it had on my life for a long time.
I'm glad that I obeyed for I have already been blessed in my obedience. I have lived another day in Christ. And there is nothing better than Pura Vida en Christo Jesus.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
