Near the top of the Basilica, a Catholic cathedral that nearly took my breath away (and I'm not just talking about the stairs), overlooking just a section of the city of Ecuador
Sitting on the first pew of the church of San Francisco, a marveling view of the intricate wall designs and altar. How I would love to attend a service here.
Before I came on this trip, my cousin gave me some advice. She told me ask God each morning to empty me so that he could fill me with with himself and use me as an instrument of service. That is my goal for the week, and I am so eager to see what God has in store for me and this entire group during our Viaje del Corazon.
In many ways, I wish I could capture the sights, sounds and smells in little viles and bring them home to give all the people I know just a glimpse of the wonders. But I would never seek to ruin the experience they could have in full one day. I do pray, however, that they are able to make the journey of the heart on their own time and see Ecuador as I do: pure beauty.

ReplyDeleteGreat blog Maddi! So proud of you for going and sharing the love and grace of God in Ecuador. Keep letting Him fill you up and provide you with strength, not only there but also when you're home, where it's usually the most difficult. Praying for you!
