Have you ever opened a letter and cried in anticipation of it contents? Have you ever smiled at a stranger and had your day made when they smiled back? Have you ever sat in amazement of Gods wonders?
Today I sat at break listening to worship music in my car. I was trying to find my motivation that has not shown up this morning. There are a few artists that spur my emotions and really get me connected to reality again. I walk away with a presence of God that feels natural and personal. I am from that point on in constant conversation with My Lord.
This day my Lord thought to make my day. He has touched my heart and offered me a taste of his wonders.
My phone is alerting me. I have a message. With a glance my day is made. I have an e-mail from Tara our team lead. The Title, “ foto de dos familias” Now I do not speak Spanish, but come on, I have sat through four children worth of “Dora” and I know what that says.
I do not think I could open the attachments fast enough. Then……….. Pause. To look upon the pictures of these families for the first time. There faces, there clothes, the landscape around them, the homes behind them. My eyes soaked in the pictures until they blurred with tears. Lord you have made my heart happy. I am 8,300 miles away and my Lord has made it possible for me to love them. These are the pictures of the families we will be building homes for in Panabaj, Guatemala.
I do not know there names, But he knows everything about them. I have never spoken a word in there native tongue, Yet He has written his words on there hearts.
Lord you are so wonderful to us. We are so undeserving of your favor. Yet you bless us in the biggest ways. I know that there is nothing you need from me, but I cannot help, but want to serve you. You have filled my heart on this day and it overflows with tears of joy, blessed be your name in all the nations. You are an amazing God.
