We debrief every night and are asked to find one word to describe our day. Monday evening, my favorite word was "speechless." There is absolutely no way there are enough words in any language for me to describe Monday.
I said last night I was "overwhelmed" and I mean that in a very, very good way. God's awesome power is evident in the detail of fleeting images... a puzzle only He could put together to show a team of people way, way out of their comfort zone what to do. God's amazing love was present in the joy of skipping rope and coloring and playing with stickers and blowing bubbles and showing a young kid what a guitar pick does.
God was present in the simple joy of being mobbed by kids because you have a camera, because you have glitter on your fingernails, because you cam jump up and turn around while skipping rope, because you just hold them, because you are there... if only for a brief moment.
It's easy to fall in love with the people here, so easy. They capture your heart and invade your mind. It does not matter if we cannot speak the same language. Actions speak louder than words. These people, these amazing, awesome, warm people ministered to me, to my soul. God is good like that. I cannot possibly imagine a way to describe how awesome, amazing, stunning, joyous, glorious, powerful and good God is in this moment and in all moments... no matter if we experience the highest of highs or the lowest of lows. No matter what.
