| The beauty of God's handiwork ... |
Death ... I will never understand why the miracle of new life and the finality of death need ever be shared moments in ones life.
Gloves ... Served as a barrier between life and death. Worn by an expectant mother to protect her hands and prohibit the evil spirit of death from entering through them. She was dressed for winter in the sweltering heat of summer, attending the funeral of her relatives newborn babe ... her reason, to prevent the spirit of death from robbing the the life out of wee one in her womb.
Life at the Base ... we didn't spend much time in the City, our days were full of painting, cleaning, organizing, fellowship, and driving back and forth from the new Base. Our week was full of life ... we welcomed our first work team at the new Base and our Vida 220 teams came 'home' from Outreach for a week of teaching and to work on the new Base ... we said good bye to a couple who volunteered a year of their life with VidaNet ... we visited La Cuenca and shared hope with some of the families there ... we played soccer in the rain ... we worshiped and dedicated the new Base ... we celebrated the end of a week of hard work by taking the work team to La Paz Waterfall Gardens ... Celebrated Mothers Day with Pollo a la Lena (Roasted chicken over the fire!) ... we shared life! It was also week morning the death of one of our El Nido Babes http://elnidocr.blogspot.com/ ... Amy Danisha was born with complications unable to be fixed by human hands. The Gloves ... I am forever grateful for the hope I have in Christ, I do not fear death!
We believe in God the Father, We believe in Jesus Christ, We believe in the Holy Spirit and He's given us new life, We believe in the crucifixion, We believe that He conquered death, We believe in the resurrection, And He's comin' back again, we believe!
