The Costa Rican Clams

as the week winds down, and it is time to part way with my new friends from Boca Fla, and Lexington NC, i have been subtly asked to give a reflective retrospective of the week. if i had to compare the groups to an animal, it would be a clam. at the beginning of the they were closed tight, timid, and very shy. WORSHIP was as a quite, one-sided affair. but as the week progressed, they started to open up and really let the praises ring. by wednesday night, the shell was busted open and the big shiny pearl that was their LOVE for GOD was gleaming bright. it was a glorious event to watch them grow in so much over such a short period of time. i would have to chalk that one up to where we are at. i have always believed that when a person seperates themself from the world, meaning cellphones, internet, tv, radio, facebook, and the likes, it is much easier to hear the stillness of GOD'S voice. it again has been proven this week. we have been surrounded by GOD'S beautiful creation constantly here in Costa Rica, it has been near impossible to not be touched by HIM. this week has been a wonder and beautiful one, and i have added many brothers and sisters to my family. but while i may shed a tear this morning as we go our seperate ways, i am excited to go through the proccess again this week.


psalm 115
"not to us O LORD, not to us, but to thy name be the glory, because of Your LOVE and FAITHFULNESS."



peace be the journey
