Yesterday was a full, lovely day that started early with cleaning the cafeteria and ended late with washing dishes and with lots of friends and family and kiddos and laughter and community and meaning in the middle.
I wish I had a picture of the kids little Easter program...it was too cute...but I was reading and shifting palm branches for swords and missed pictures :)
You can't tell it in these pictures, but it was about a billion degrees yesterday :)
Then last night our Emmaus team had Easter dinner with the ham Barb and Keith brought in, and suddenly, their visit was over!
This morning the girls were back to school, my English 2 class had a final exam, Grammy and PopPop headed back to Florida, and the driveway project was finally finished, Matt led a Bible study down the road after dinner and then we had staff meeting tonight...Whew.
SOMETHING always seems to hit me in chapel, and today it was how individual corporate prayer is in Haiti. While many people are praying out loud at the same time, everyone is talking to God alone. Some stand, some sit, some kneel, some pace in the back, some sing, some cry, some call out, some murmur their hearts cries. We're all praying...kind of together, kind of on our own...but when we're all calling out to the same God, at the same time, we have to be close. I love that. I want to hold onto that intimacy with Jesus, even surrounded by others.
