I suppose a morning in Chichi is similar to a morning anywhere in the world, but when you remove yourself from Hamilton County aka the USA, your sense of yourself is diminished.  You know you will leave the end of this week but a piece of your heart will stay behind and a piece of Chichi’s heart you will take home. 

For me this is reminder that Our God is a God of the universe. As the Chris Tomlin song says “Into the darkness You shine out of ashes we rise there is no one like You none like You”  Sometimes it is our own darkness and sometimes we are Jesus’ light.  This week in Chichi I would have to say the people of Guatemala have pushed the darkness that ofthen times is part of my life.  For this I’m grateful.

Grace and Peace to all.
