Finding God in Mexico

I was reminded this last week that God transcends national boundaries. In the midst of a political heightened time in our country and many discussions about the boarder and issues in Mexico, I have forgotten what an amazing country Mexico can be! My wife and I were truly blessed this fourth of July when we received an offer to join a students family at their property in Mexico off a beautiful picturesque river. It was intended to be a little prep trip for an upcoming discipleship camp we will be having there in August. It was just what we needed!! I have forgotten what quiet actually sounded like. It always amazes me how the noise of life can drown out the voice of God, and as soon as we make time to be quite God speaks.

Thank you lord for being so faithful to give me opportunities to meet you in the midst of the noise and busyness of life. You continually offer refreshment and life that I so desperately need yet so often fail to recognize.
