It may be accented by the fact that it's a
Sunday but the pace in Ecuador today was nice and slow. Several times
Jamie caught me wanting to move faster than we needed to, or even wanted to.
I found it difficult to relax sitting on a bench or stopping to watch
children play and interact. The speed of life is slow...and I like that.
It's good to remind ourselves that we can slow down; we don't have to rush to
the next thing.
Jamie and I are here to get to know the
culture, learn the language, and follow Jesus.
We’ll see what that looks like the longer we’re here, but for now, we
are wait. Psalm 33:20-22:
We
wait in hope for the LORD;
he
is our help and our shield.
In
him our hears rejoice,
for we trust
in his holy name.
May
your unfailing love be with us, LORD,
even
as we put our hope in you.
