It's been four days. Four days since I was sitting with Naomi at her kitchen table, drinking coffee, and praying our hearts out before God. And in many ways it seems like ages since then. It's funny how you can travel out of the country, come home, and resume life as usual, as if nothing special has gone on..and yet trips like that mold me and shape me...time with a precious friend, a God-lover, a talented momma, an honorable wife...I ramble, but that's how my heart feels right now. So to sum up my time in Mexico City....

Thank you Naomi (and Joshua), for shared cups of coffee over many, many, many profound conversations (the kind that of course would change the world, if only the world were listening), scrumptious food, a fantastic yet insane seven layer cake, impromptu cab rides when my achy foot just couldn't walk anymore, my very own room, your vulnerability in sharing your heart, a birds eye view of a slightly underdressed homeless man (I saw him first and didn't warn you, my fault), your generosity with sweet little gifts for my family, lots of fun and delicious eating out, a true cultural experience on the metro, the city bus, and let's not forget, the crowded zoo, a small group meeting that encouraged my heart, even if it was in Spanish, and for precious children to love on.

my heart is full...

please excuse my mickey mouse ears...and Naomi, does this picture look right to you with the html editing?
it's seems a little wide to me, but it could be my vanity wishing my face was more narrow...

You both look beautiful. Still look the same as you did 16, 17 and 18 years ago. But yes I was noticing something looked a little....off as you put it with the picture.

Gab, I cracked up at your Mickey Mouse ears (aka sunglasses on the head) description.

And Naomi...you are really really awesome!
