Jesus! Jesus! .... Beach.. More Jesus!

WOW.. This is the only way that I can describe the past two days here in the Philippines. Friday was our last day in Baguio to really connect with the students there and the ladies got together for chat that really spiritually connected us. This is one of the most spiritual moments for me on the trip and I was so amazed at how open and intentional the students and my fellow teammates where. The purpose of the meeting was to help guide the girls in the right direction and help them dig deeper in there faith, and we succeeded. God intervened in the bible study and broke the hearts of the girls and as I'm writing this tonight I am still awestruck at how much God loves us and what his love is suppose to look like. I know that the girls and I learned a lot from the ladies here at the ministry. We learned a new perspective of love and passion and I know that it "rocked our world." Need I remind you that this was the first 2 hours of the day and I know that you can only imagine what all God did throughout the rest of the day.
The team also got the opportunity to go into the heart of Baguio and visit the second Encounter ministry and meet with the students there. We had a lovely evening worshiping the Lord together and really had the chance to witness to students in that area and ministry.
Next.. :) Today the team visited the South China Sea....WOW!!!! I know for me personally and a couple other of the teammates this was the first time that we had ever seen the ocean and it was breath taking. The first thing that I thought of when I say the ocean was how wide it was and it make me think of how wide God's love is and how on going and faithful it is, just like the ocean he created. God, our creator, is stunning and I continue to be speechless in describing him. Today the team really got the chance to reflect and download the events that have happened over the past couple days, which alone is a blessing because I know that we all needed today to relax and build stronger relationships within the team.
Continue to pray for us as we enter Baguio City tomorrow and Dagupan the next day. I know that the Lord has amazing things planned ahead.
Over and Out :)
