I landed a week ago in Nicaragua. I am experiencing indoor plumbing again and an actual mattress. I am feeling so loved by God being here. I am in a season of rest and restoration with him. “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.”
Psalms 23:1-3 NLT
The moment I pulled into the farm (where I will be staying for a month) I wanted to run in the fields so my toes could feel every strand of grass. God knows the desires of my heart and as usual he has out done himself.“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” Psalms 37:4 For a long time I have craved a place of rest where God would meet me with true discipleship , intimacy, and community. This is so much more than I could have ever imagined. His love is being revealed to me in ways unimaginable. I am able to receive him from the young adults on my squad to the individuals in the community I get the pleasure of ministering to. The body of Christ is beautiful when it functions the way it’s supposed to. I am full even if my days are draining God is continuing to feed me. The first week here feels like home. It feels ordained. It feels like I was always supposed to be here .
