Near Lepaterique, Honduras
Tuesday was a busy day, and one thing that we've learned over the years is that when we visit Lepaterique we must be flexible. In fact, that is one of the things that we enjoy about our trips. Every year its and adventure.
We knew that we'd be visiting different villages around Lepaterique, but we didn't know how many. This year we set a record. On Tuesday alone we visited four villages, and as you can tell from this picture, some of the villages didn't have curbside service for our bus.
Our visit to honduras is a reminder of how the Holy Spirit works.
"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8 English Standard Version
God's Spirit is more than the wind beneath our wings. The Holy Spirit is the wind that directs our lives. It is the Holy Spirit who constantly directs us back to the cross. It is the Holy Spirit who directs us in our testimony to the love of God in the world around us.
Sometimes the Spirit leads us to places of comfort, and at other times it directs us to places of discomfort, to places that stretch our understanding of how God acts in the world.
The team was exhausted when we returned to Lepaterique that Tuesday evening. It would have been easy to retire to our rooms and catch some early sleep, but the Holy Spirit had another plan that night. As tired as we were, the Spirit directed us to a faithful community of believers whom we joined in worship.
That's what the Holy Spirit does.
