Nicaragua love.

Last blog in Kona.
Three months preparing, a short lifetime of running. When you think about each day as one that you wouldn't have stepped into if it had not been for survival of the previous day, your mind starts to turn at the reality of our humanity. Most of us don't know surviving to be a struggle. We need something to sustain us physically, but we need more than sustenance to be alive. Living every day alive brings more possibilities into alignment for the next day. Living alive in the moment makes you fully alive where you are. How do we prepare for the future, yet fully attentive in the present? How do you turn a week of preparation and planning into a week of purpose?...

My train of thought keeps wandering as I sip my coffee, write this blog, turn the pages on the 'to-do' list in my mind, and try to rest all in the same breath. Life is crazy. God is good.

My outreach team is going to Nicaragua. Brazil didn't work out, but I believe it is for a reason. Different blessings have fallen into our ready hands as I watch shaking my head in disbelief at what the Lord has said i'm capable of doing. Does that make sense? I'm trying to make sense of it. All this to say, my co-leader and I have decided that Jesus is the best one to lead our outreach. He is who we are bringing with us. He is who we are going to see. He is who we are working for.

Pray for us as we go. We are planning on working with a Bible distribution project that is focusing on getting Bibles into every home in the country. We need to raise some money as a team for this ministry, but the Lord continues to provide. We are also going to be apart of other ministries as well as He leads. Basically, He is just too good to ruin the surprise of our outreach by filling us in on every detail. We know enough and we are more than happy with that.
