Just returned from a week long mission trip to the Mayan Riviera in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Got to work with about 150 kids in their vacation Bible school in the village of Nichta Ha. It never ceases to amaze me how the people there can be so content with so little. They always thank us for what we bring to them - mostly things. But do they have any idea what they give to us? A heartfelt faith. An appreciation for the basics in life. A love of God that is pure and honest.
I've been away from my blog for a long time as Caring Bridge became my writing instrument of choice during my cancer journey. I now am happily cancer free and much less angry than my last blog post would indicate. The fury over losing my hair indeed was just a symptom of a much deeper anger within me. Yet, breast cancer taught me many things. On this side of it I can honestly say that it is perhaps one of the best things that ever happened to me. Don't get me wrong. I would never ask to go through it again, nor would I wish it on anyone. But the experience of it and the outpouring of support that came from family and friends was amazing and eye-opening. I hope to start sharing some of those experiences on here as I get back into the swing of blogging. ...and actually, I kinda like my super-short pixie 'do!
