Roaming the streets of Antigua, Guatemala I found a new freedom and love for life. The first 6 weeks of our trip to Guatemala our team has fought hard to feel a live and not get discouraged, but with a heavy weight above us it has been extremely difficult. On Monday we left Puerto Barrios and headed to Antigua for a week of freedom and fun! It was such an incredible week and a breath of fresh air.
Arriving at our hostile we were greeted by two AIM staff from Atlanta, as well as two World Race squads. They were such a blessing to our team. Ashley and Nick (Aim staff) brought fresh air to our lungs and truly blessed our team with their presence. They were extremely encouraging and brought new light to our eyes. We left Antigua feeling equipped and excited for these next 7 weeks. No longer will we just get by here in Puerto Barrios…but we are EXCITED and ready for the Lord to move in and through us. In Christ, I proclaim big things for our team! I know God has prepared our hearts and we are now ready to fight this battle. I am so encouraged and so excited to bring God's light and pour out into this community. But what I am most excited about is what the Lord has done in each of us. He has brought our team so much closer and I am so encouraged by that! I finally feel free to be myself and embrace this trip with excitement. I am no longer going to take my time here for granted because I need these next 7 weeks. God has so much He wants to do in each of us, and I am truly encouraged and excited for whats to come!
"I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears."
Psalm 34:1-4
