Today at church Dale and I and the rest of our Mexico 2010 team were allowed to show pictures and tell of how wonderful it was to be serving last May. It was a good reminder for us how much we enjoyed to be together. That we were allowed to see some pretty important changes in the Tarahumara church. That God has transformed people for His glory here and there. Wow.
After the meeting I joined my Thailand team that is heading to Asia next month so that we can help a group of foreign workers in a strategy conference. We hosted a fund raising spaghetti dinner to help with the finances. Somewhere as I was talking to a friend about last summer's India trip, and got to reconnect with the Mexico team and before the planning meeting with my Asia team, someone asked me how I like being involved to the extent that I am. He said something like, 'so its like a where's waldo with you. Find Lori in the mission trip slides!'
We laughed because its true! I look at this year and just marvel that God has allowed me to be invited to so many different trips. I have walked over such different terrains, shaken so many hands, eaten such distinct foods. Said hello in varied languages. Prayed with such beautiful saints. Felt the goosebumps of many, many images of my teams being transfixed at the beauty of what God let them see.
I spend much of my time back at home in gratitude of what I was allowed to know, and in prayer that each of us would be good stewards of what we now know.
And, to be honest, dream of the next trip. Can't lie, I frankly love this!
