Easy to Please

I'm such a simple person. Really small things make me happy. Like making macaroni and cheese with a couple friends yesterday while sitting around and talking about life. Comfort food anyone? Like this morning I woke up, made coffee, and did devotions while the rest of the house was still asleep. What it is about being up before everyone else that makes you feel like you've already kicked the day's butt? Anyway, then I went for a walk. And it was sunny. And that's very rare. It was a big deal that I went for a walk in the sunshine by myself. I found a great big park my Mamatica told me about with her crazy Spanish directions, and I even stopped to do a little shoe shopping on the way. Today was refreshing because it just made me feel like me. I've really stuggled here with lacking freedom. I'm a free spirit, and it's hard to not feel safe, to not understand my surrounding, and to always travel in groups. So really... all it took was a little sunshine and a long walk. Ha. Also, tonight I did something epic. I went roller skating. Yes like you did in 5th grade. My Tica sister took Sara and me, and we had lots of fun.

I've been here for over three weeks now, but I feel like it's been a lot longer. Sometimes I think about where I am on the map. This little strip of land in the middle of two great big oceans. I think about how far away I am from the people I love, and about how incredibly small I am. And then the Lord reminds me and shows me again and again his sovereignty over ALL THE EARTH. He is the KING of KINGS, constant, Truth, revealed, the one and only. He is Jesus, and he is all I need... and so many people need him.

That's all... Goodnight:)
