August 20, 2011
We woke up early to eat breakfast,
went to the market for about an hour, then we were off to spend some time in
the Andes Mountains. It was today, my last day in Ecuador that gave me that
warm fuzzy feeling all over again.
It gave me hope for the world we live in. It was pure, the love that I was feeling. It was Godly. Throughout this entire
trip I could see nothing that was not God. I felt so deeply, terribly
happy. I keep thinking to myself
over and over… whatever this feeling is – this is exactly what I have been
praying for.
As I walked in silence along the
path I thought about all of the people who helped me get here and I wondered to
myself – how will I ever thank them enough? This is what I come up with…
“In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay
back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it’s wiser to surrender before the
miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever
and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.” – Eat, Pray, Love
So, for all of those who have helped me along the way – the
best way I can say thank you is to pay it forward and to live my life loving
and serving others. I pray that
God blesses you abundantly.
Because of your generosity, my life has been forever changed. I could never have done this without
all of you, and most importantly without our Heavenly Father. In Christ, through Mary. Love, Celie
P.S. Enjoy the pictures of this beautiful earth He created!
