One Step at a Time

Gallop, to the right, now move forward...don't forget to sway your skirts...smile...otra vez por favor...good job...now it's time to learn another dance...start with your left hand first...and the directions kept coming until we all learned the 4 dances we needed to.  A total of 5 weeks and a total of 6 practices and then it was Show Time.  Celebrating Dia de Guanacaste. Graciella spent many hours teaching us all the dances.   A group picture with a few of our teachers. Enjoying being all dressed up! So much fun! Once the presentation was finished... I was ready to dance some more:)

On the shore looking out at the barges waiting to pass through the Canal Time to Remember                                                                                                 July 2016 Dear Friends, It’s rather hard to believe that four months ago I left the states to pursue a dream that God put on my heart years ago, the desire to be a missionary.   It’s funny how often times I have my own plan and think one way, and then of course the Lord has other plans for me and changes everything.   Here I thought I’d be in Colombia South Amercia, yet God has me in Costa Rica learning Spanish and waiting on Him for the next steps.  Waiting on HIM…I have to be honest…I have a hard time with waiting, but at the end of the day I know it’s the best thing.   Rest has many meanings: to sleep, relief from worries, or even mental and spiritual calmness.  To be honest, sometimes my mind is not at rest,  however lately God has been teaching me how important it

Have you ever taken the time to walk in wonder of God's amazingness?  Do you notice the little things that you may pass by everyday like the vibrant colors, the quietness, or sounds that surround you?  I honestly love to do just that, walk around and give thanks to the Lord for the wonderful things HE has created for us to enjoy...every color, every noise, every plant, every creature...all of these have the joy of displaying the creativity of our God!   I hope you enjoy this post of God's beautiful creation here in Costa Rica.                     1.  Heliconia (Parrot Flower)                          2.  Red Passion Flower                      3.
