Day 2: hyper-extended

day two was a nice day. we got to sleep in, go to church, and work. the sleep in part sounded REALLY good until i woke up @ 530a and then again @ 645a. it was chilly in the morning and rainy @ night but the view is unbelievable!! there's a volcano to the right after you walk out our door. personally, its nothing like i imagined it would be.

church was different. PB preached (did he ever!) very inspirational stuff...then he asked us to step up to the front so the congregation could pray for us but also so we could pray for them (connection) & that's what happened...then we sat, they took offering & then worship. i didnt recognize any of the songs & that's okay because the songs aren't what matter.

we worked for about 3 hrs and it seemed like we made some progress. we headed back to the compound & John made me slap a cow!! yep, thats right, i was sitting shotgun & he kept edging me on...elbowing me towards the window & everything. when we finally got back, we had 1 hour until dinner. i showered, changed, & headed to my stoop to write. the scenery is beautiful & the porch is a PERFECT spot to write. dinner time arrived so Lisa & i slowly walked to the hall...everyone showed up so we went inside.

dinner was good & then we headed to the guys place for reflection time (prayer & sharing)...we sang, prayed, & God was just so powerful. we spoke about some issues that ended up covering my whole devotional for the next day. before Lisa & i left i asked if i even had to do my devo because PB pretty much covered it...he said yes & i said ok.

this trip was just so eye-opening; for my devotion i didnt have any verses. i mean i knew what i was gonna speak about but i just didnt have any scriptural back up & i started journaling today & the first verse that was on the page as the PERFECT one!! alls i could say was THANK YOU JESUS!! the verse, Luke 6:38. translation, The Message. "Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back - given back with bonus and blessing." like i said...PERFECT!

that's all for day 2...day 3 will come later tonite or tomorrow...enjoy!
