After I finished yesterday's post, I went to my bunk and slept and woke up feeling worse. I was cold (most likely from lack of food yesterday), I was hurting, and I was disappointed in myself because all I really wanted was to quit. The people I already knew didn't invite me to join them when they took off for a coffee, and I don't know why because I was clearly so much fun to be around at that moment.
Dinner helped, and afterwards, the Dutch hostel invited us all to Jesus Meditation at 8:30, so I went. And found out the reason that God had had me stop in Villamayor. That half an hour of soft pillows, gentle music, Scripture readings, and mint tea was balm to my body and soul. We reflected, I prayed, and God spoke, and in the midst of it, I heard him say, "THIS is reality. I am reality. Everything else will fade some day, but when you commune with me, you enter in to the deepest reality possible." After the official meditation time was over, Sarah, one of the workers and a sister in Christ, sat and talked with me, and then we both got to pray for each other. I slept much better after that.
So thankful God met you where you were! love you. Mama
