Honduras SB2K7

So much is going thru my head and heart since i've returned, man. It's even hard to put into words when folks ask... pictures hardly do a justice. Its just hard to articulate how the spirit of God moved in my heart while in Honduras. The bottom line (and this is gonna be a short post cause im sleepy but i didn't want to forget what needs to be expressed right now) and the song of our team's heart while in Hondo was this truth which holds so much hope for all creation, "Life flows from God" don't miss it, its not super deep, but it is the basis for each breath we take as Christians. As much as we were going to "save" and be Christ to a poor people, i was saved. I saw how beautiful His life flowed out of every dirty face, every little smile, every grubby outstretched hand and every conversation i attempted to have in my broken spanish. For now, ill just say Hondo was a celebration of life and how he is the perfector of it. He holds it all together. And whether we live in a a huge air conditioned home or a shack on a side of a mountain, Christ promises to be ENOUGH in every circumstance. He is good and life is made complete thru his suffering. He poured himself out for all... LIFE FLOWS FROM GOD

  • Zach,
    Sounds like Guatamela--we have so much and seem so ungrateful--they have so little and are so very grateful--even a touch of your hand or a simple smile. Trips like yours shows us how simple our faith should be. We complicate it and life so much. I give thanks to God for you and your precious ourlook on life and your heart to always help others.

  • ....What big plans our Lord has for you sweet Zach! You are a man after his heart and you will be blessed beyond measure because of that. Keep clinging to him as he pursues your heart~ Can't wait for Ella to get to know Jesus through her favorite uncle:-)
