The best is yet to come.
As I think about this past week
that is the one line that keeps running through my head. I never knew Buddy Hardy, one of the founders
of the Fisher’s of Men organization that recently passed away. I never saw the Baptist Training Center being
built. I have not seen the health of the
Belizean people change as some of my other team members have from being on many
medical and dental trips. I never saw
the unroofed and wooden floors of the dorms at the Cayo Deaf Institute. I had never even been to the country of
Belize before a week ago!!!
I do know a few things
though.
I know that God is always
moving. I know that there were some kids
who had never heard the gospel until this week.
I know that lives were changed, and if not the kids, than at least mine
was changed. I know that I met some of
the most amazing people who were on my team and I had the greatest privilege to
work with them, to watch their passion shine, and to watch Christ’s love flow
from within them whether it was playing basketball or tiling floors.
I know that I am no longer
in Belize or with the rest of our basketball and construction team, and speaking
for myself, I know I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to go back.
That doesn’t matter though –
what matter’s is, the best is yet to come, whether I am in Belize, in the
cornfields of Iowa, or downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota and I am more than
certain that God will continue to work through each person on this trip because
they are ALL IN for Him and He is always ALL IN for us.
Whatever each of us do,
Wherever each of us go,
Our story is about God’s
story.
