Title inspired by the most commonly used phrase at debrief.
As we sail away from our oasis in San Juan, the words seem to flee from my mind when trying to describe what has gone on in the last two weeks with our squad. The only information we really had going into it was that we would be spending the next two weeks on Lake Atilan with the long term Guatemala base team. The Lord had something breathtaking in store for us.
While we were there we had a session that questioned what our problems with God were. At first I was a little taken back by the question and initially thought that I didn’t have any problems with our Heavenly Father. Then, during my quiet time with the Lord I realized that I was actually really angry with God. I was angry with God about my mother’s disease. I was angry that the plans that I had for my life didn’t work out. And I had NO idea that these things had not been dealt with at all! Then during a day of solitude on the lake- no talking to anyone or using an iPod or anything- our Papa in heaven showed me His heart in a completely new way. God wants to have an intimate and affectionate relationship with me, His beloved daughter.
We talk a lot about how we’d like to change the world by going on trips just like the one that I’m on, just like the World Race. But the reality of it all is that I’ve changed more in the last 3 months of my life than the amount of change I may have created in the last 3 months. It’s a matter of the heart!
