I posted some pictures of my trip to Guatemala on facebook. Anyone and everyone should be able to see those pictures and my comments on them.
In the last two weeks, people have often asked me "Are you glad you went?" or "Was it a good trip?" or even "Are you going to go back?"
These are essentially the same question and the answer is yes. It would be impossible for me to capture any particular aspect of my trip accurately for you through words, be they written on paper or spoken. It would also be impossible for me to succinctly convey anything through pictures and my descriptions of those events seemingly captured by those pictures. Nevertheless...people want some sort of report, quantitative analysis, adventure summary, or image of success.
I want to say two things about my trip. First: I will be glad to tell you all about it but not right away. This is not because I am "still processing" as some would imply, though I am still processing: I think I will always be processing. The fact is that, not only am I not capable of describing my trip, I'd rather not boil it all down for you. I want it to stay as large and un-boiled down as possible. If you want to hear about my adventures tromping around the globe, my suggestion is thus: be around me. Trust me, you'll hear about it.
Second: to elaborate specifically on the question "Are you glad you went?" I would like to say, "it was exactly what I needed." Needed. Not wanted, hoped, or thought I needed. God put in my heart a desire to go on the trip and then miraculously provided the funds for the trip. He worked so many miracles through and for me. I am in awe of how perfect His timing is. I am not the same person I was, nor do I desire to be.
Hey, thanks to everyone who prayed. Your prayers were invaluable: keep praying. Thanks to everyone who showed me, once again, that God is bigger than money.
