When I think about all of the best days i've had here in Costa, today is definitely top of the list. Right now I am in sitting in a cute restaurant called Dona Maria. Off in the distance the mountains look magical, and a mystical haze is resting a top the trees of the rain forest.
I feel like I have moments all the time in my life where I experience a taste of Heaven. Today we drove through the jungle and the beauty surrounding us was unreal. All creation is yelling...no screaming, out the grandiose of the Lord! If I am this overwhelmed by nature...a creation of the Creator, how much more will it be when I stand before Him? I've been a lot of places in the world, and experienced some amazing views, but today there was something so deeply beautiful about my journey.
The girls, Fanny, Diego, Emily, Don Lalo and I all went to a gigantic waterfall. Apparently this waterfall is featured on the video Planet Earth, and I can certainly see why! This waterfall is so tall that you can hardly see the top from the bottom. It is as though the water comes straight from Heaven. We got to climb, play in the river, and ride on a four wheeler. This is my idea of a perfect day!
I love the simplicity of life here, and the ability to embrace the Lord's creation free from all of the material possessions and just, really stuff. If I am ever called to life in a place like this I will jump at the chance. I know my mission field for the next season is Wilmington, NC but who knows what the future will hold?
There is definitely a reason why the Lord has filled me with such an absolute love and hunger for adventure, exploration, and people.
My soul is satisfied by the goodness of our God, and His love alone : ) I cannot proclaim enough how great the love of the Father is for us!
May you only fall more and more in love with Jesus. There is nothing greater
