Dios Mabalos

Dios Mabalos (Thank you)...Thank you for reading our blog...thank you for your prayers...and thank you for being on this journey with us. Patrick and I have moved to our assignment in Bicol. We have taken our long bus ride into the Province where roads only have two lanes, the houses are no taller than two stories and there is plenty of land next to each. The air is clean and the land is lush and green. In the midst of the hustle and the bustle of Manila with the million jeepneys, trikes, buildins and people it is a welcome burst of freshness here in Bicol. I believe more than the space and beauty the renewal in my spirit comes from knowing that this is where I can invest my heart. These are the people I will be living and working with, at least for the next month. This is where my purpose with in GK becomes a bit more defined. It is funny how finding purpose can bring with it such a feeling of renewal. It is not that anything has actually been accomplished, but rather that a direction has been found to do the work we feel called to do. So once again thank you for being with us. Thank you for you thoughts and prayers of encouragement that give us strength and empower us to embrace this opportunity and all of its blessings. I pray for you and your journey as well.
