Today was the 2nd day I got up early to do a run aroun the campus. It is not a bad idea to sneak some alone time in when you are surrounded by people. It was also amazing to take in the landscape- it was a little foggy but nice and cool. Running through the terrain and up over 100 stairs while listening to music was a fantastic way to start my morning taking in Gods beauty. What love He has for us!
Due to my incredibly steady hand, I was painting this week:) It was good to get really get to know other team members. Painting is also very rewarding because you see your results right away. We had to go back and finish one of the rooms after dinner and 2 of the girls who lived there were in the rooms checking out our work. Obviously it wasn't perfect but the girls were incredibly appreciative. They even fought over who could help me finish painting!
Being in Guatemala is forcing me to think about my life and what I'm doing with it. How am I serving God back home? What am I complaining about? What am I wasting my money on? What am I wasting my time on? What am I doing with my talents? It's always something to think about and try to refocus on. Being at home will be hard- so many distractions but I'm determined to find the time for God that He deserves.
