Today was World Water Day. As the day comes to a close I hold close to my heart the people living, working, walking, playing, praying on the Nicaraguan ground that the rock in this photo comes from. The people who still do not have clean water to drink. It has been two years since our visit. Two years since the ground refused to free the simple yet life-giving source trapped underneath. Under the rock is a photo of the community that we were able to bring clean water to. The ground was soft, ready to give. Yet, I see God more in our failure in Lomas del Pansillo than in the water bursting forth from the well we built in Los Carmones. For I know that in His perfect timing His glory will be revealed through that land, through those people, through us in the most undeniable way, so that we may never forget what He has done. He loves us. Standing on that rocky ground was where He showed me the depth of that love. It's unmistakable. It completely transforms you even when you already thought you've been transformed by it. So I will hold on to hope and onto Jesus' challenge to us in John 11:40 [Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”]. I have believed. I have seen. So I shall continue. *For more background on the trip, check out my post about it on my old blog here. It's a little long, but so well-written and worth reading ;)
