I had an amazing time with my family today.
Two parts of my family. :)
The first of course was my own little clan: Rob and Sydni [& the dogs, too, if you want to count them] made my morning the gorgeous chaotic rhythm that it always is, but couple that with sunshine and a stellar message at SonRise, and you've got perfection on earth :).

| poor stella.... haha |

| stella bella! |
PLUS, Syd decided she would be a Ngobe for today, so this is what we sported to church:
 |
| dress, chacara.. and larry the cucumber... ♥♥♥ |
She wanted to hitch a ride to the car...
 |
| my world ♥ |
 |
sydni - 1. rob - 0.
the usual score. |
After church, we headed home for a few hours of relaxing after lunch, some light cleaning and some cooking - the evening rolled around faster than we expected, and we were off to the Costanzas for a backyard cookout and Panama team reunion.
 |
| then and now! |
It seems like it was ages ago that we stood in those mountains, posed for that picture as the minutes disappeared and we left that mountain for the last time on the trip. That picture in its entirety contains a part of my heart; I left bits of myself there with that team and the Ngobe people.

| miriam... you nailed it. |
I am
SO grateful for the company, presence and fellowship of and with this team and their families, and for welcoming Rob, Sydni and me into theirs. We are certainly blessed to have so many new and refreshing, encouraging and edifying doors opened to us, on a path of growth :).

Rob, Syd and I are home now; our hair and clothes have that smell of fresh air and bonfire. Our bellies are full of homemade food, and our hearts and minds are full from a fun evening of reflecting, praying and fellowship. THAT is the kind of Sunday I love.
Amen? AMEN.
Prayers for each of you entering into this week!
