nitty gritty

If you’re like me, you may have noticed how often water is a key part of Biblical stories and or situations.  You know, the Red Sea being parted, the rivers that mark the boundaries of Eden, Moses in the Nile… this could go on forever.  Water brings with it many things.

Power.

Destruction.

Change.

Cleansing.

Safety.

Again, the list could go on for a while.

G10 has been in Colonia Santa Faz in Guatemala City for the last 2 days and I have been so very impressed and blessed by their hearts and actions.  TOday was finished off by a birthday celebration that included a massive water balloon fight, Gringos VS. Guatemalans!  It was a draw.  We were all soaked.  At the conclusion, it started to rain as if God wanted in on the action.  Today was a very fun day with the kids and their teachers.  We even managed to get our translator Adriana good and soaked.  Even though she was hiding in a corner.  As we gathered tonight to sing and pray and talk about what the Lord was doing and to prepare ourselves for the next 3 days in La Limonada, I noticed one of our G10 crying.  I asked him what was going on.  He was simpy hurting over the real possibility that he would not see a particular little girl again. Hmm… Tears,

Water.
