Reflection

I never want to take for granted the opportunity I have in the United States or the trivial preferences of food. The people in Nicaragua have little or nothing, but yet they are still very happy and accepting of their lot in life. I don't ever want to be in a place where I would become impatient or complaining of others because I have preferences that cannot be met by others or by my lifestyle. I desire for my lifestyle to be minimalist and not complex full of unnecessary excess. To live is for Christ to die is gain. If I'm not living my life with purpose then I'm not living at all. I'm so glad I serve a God who has called me according to his purpose, even though the things that God calls me to may be difficult I know that he will empower me to do his will. To God be the glory for all the great things he has done on this trip, I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to go and serve the people of Nicaragua. I hope that I might have the opportunity to go again to this breathtaking land and serve the beautiful, dearly loved people of Nicaragua.
