I woke up a bit earlier than I had planned. Our bags are packed. We did what we came to do. We said what we came to say. But I wanted to sit in my perch and look at the mountains just one more time...

We knew when we made arrangements for this trip that it would be good. We knew there would be a lot of work. And a lot of change. We just didn't realize then that the ones changed so much, would be us...

We taught, preached, shared, spoke, laughed, sang, danced, ate, drank and lived. And as time went by, we got it. Yes, it was for "them", but it was also for us. We saw people transformed before our very eyes. We saw spiritually dead people receive life. We saw the light come on in the lives of Believers and witnessed their resolve to walk in that light, no matter the cost. We saw people sacrifice comfort and money and time for the opportunity to grow. We experienced deep relationships with people even though our words with them were few. And every step of the way we sensed that our lives would never be the same because we would never be the same. Never.

There are things that need to be done. And He needs us to do them. Just like we are. Not when we've reached perfection; but now. And when we do them, we don't finish. We begin.
