So Rosie as part of our Surprise me God experiment, decides to cheat and head to a third world country to see if she gets surprised by God, ok well, she was booked for the trip beforehand and I guess she doesn't really cheat at anything... and I have a bad case of jealousy about her being there and not me! She gave me the following to put up here!
I'm in the Philippines with eleven, 16 year old high school students. Today we went into the surrounding community and as we were leaving I prayed 'Surprise me God". I was so surprised because going into such poor neighbourhoods, I expected to feel sorry for the people and have my heart broken by their poverty. Instead I felt nothing of the sort. This surprised me. They were all so happy and friendly and I didn't really notice their lack of anything. But I did feel like we stood out because we have so much and are so often not happy at all.
I was also surprised at how amazing HOT and humid it is over here. I drank 6 litres of water today and still have a headache from dehydration. But our kids are doing amazing things here, stepping out of their comfort zone and really willing to do anything. I am so proud of them.
Time for bed after a very busy and back breaking day (we spent the afternoon digging out site works for our building in pure clay).
If you have any encouragement for Rosie or the high schoolers then make sure you leave a comment for them, I will make sure they get it! Thanks for the update Rosie!
