Tina's thoughts!


God spoke to us in a very clear way last night! We had a tough day with several kids getting sick and not being able to participate in the ropes course. The entire group was worried about them. By dinnertime, all but two were feeling well enough to go back to Douglas to share a pizza party with the kids we bonded with the day before. We had been playing and having an awesome time for about two hours, when all of the sudden I looked up and saw the most incredible double rainbow I had ever seen. Since I was a little girl, double rainbows have been extremely meaningful to me, words can not decribe the meaning behind this one. I ran to the top of a hill at Douglas to take pictures of the rainbow, but lost my breath when I looked down at what was happening below. 15 of our kids were playing soccer with about 20 little ones in the craziest game of soccer you have ever seen. Several of our teens were playing with their new little friends riding on their backs! A few yards over, a group of girls were playing with a young lady, named Lola, who suffers from Downs Syndrome. Our girls had brought her a doll and were teaching her how to care for the doll. Lola's smile was brilliant! A few yards over, a young man named Beau was tossing little ones into the air, I could hear their laughs from the top of the hill! And just across the street, many of our girls were hovering over 12 little ones who were taking such joy in the coloring books that had been donated for this trip. The love these kids are sharing is breathtaking. But God clearly sent his blessing to our work last night in the form of that awesome rainbow. ALL of our kids woke up healthy, happy and ready to face the day today. GOD IS AWESOME AND WORKING THROUGH OUR CHILDREN IN MONTERREY, MEXICO!!!!!!!
