5 Minutes of My Day

My friend and coworker Bethany Richardson has several different series that she does on her blog (which can be found here), one of which is called "5 Minutes of My Day." I thought I'd follow suit. It's a good way to give you a glimpse into my life and what I do when I'm on the field.

So here it goes!

5 Minutes of My Day

During trip set up this last time in Costa Rica, Ciri, Jacob, and I attended church service in Abangaritos. Towards the end of service, everyone was up in front, worshipping and praying and receiving the Holy Spirit. Several fell. I know this is called being "slain in the Spirit," but I confess I don't know much more than that. Jacob and I turned to look at each other; neither of us are familiar with this. But I won't be so quick as to say it's fake. I began to pray silently, "Lord, I don't understand. I want to understand how your Spirit moves." And I got a simple, yet humbling response: "You will never understand me. Stop trying." And immediately I knew that if I understood him, He would have a limit, able to be grasped by human intelligence. And then what kind of God would that be?

I'm so glad He's greater.
