BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS

I am pleasantly surprised by Uruaguay. I did not really know what to expect. But I am grateful to have traveled in this country.

Highlights:

Sitting on a rock on the beach talking to God, soaking in beauty and ocean and culture.

Climbing the stairs of my first lighthouse in the small town of Colonia.

Watching the countryside pass me by as I consider what really matters, what I really need, who I am, who I want to be.

Finally being able to sleep nomally. Thanks for all the prayers.


What I learned in Uruguay: Doing what matters and what is important to me takes effot. I am beginning to learn what it means to live life intentionally and on purpose. And when I chose to live my life like that, it is not easy, but often uncomfortable and inconvenient. But the alternative is far worse.

Please keep the three of us in your prayers as we continue this journey. God is good. All the time. God is good.

Hola Chica..

Ya podes hablar castellano??? jeje

I imagine that we climbed the same lighthouse in Uruguay.. it is fun to be able to hear your stories and realize that I too have been there.. though I'm pretty sure you are going to soon be going to places I never had a chance to visit.

Even more enjoyable is hearing what God has been teaching you on this trip.

Te quiero mucho y estoy orando..!
