This is Meredith. She is our boss, Callie's daughter. This weekend, the CELA staff took a trip to Kending, a beach resort area on the southern tip of the island. It was an amazing trip. We went to the beach, tried surfing, toured some local history, and went shopping at an amazing night market. It takes about three-ish hou had the joy of sitting next to Meredith for a lot of the journey. Meredith knows very little English but she learns very quickly. She is in my K2 class so she knows some Bible songs and some English sentences. While we were together, I was reminded so much of what Jesus means "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Meredith is the biggest little gospel light I have ever seen. She sings about Jesus all the time. Her favorite song is "Jesus Loves the Little Ones." She would constantly lean over to me and say "Little Ones, Beka" and we would sing. I want to be more like her, easily accepting, loving, and singing about Jesus!
In Kending, I was also reminded of how much God loves us. The picture to the right is a view from our spot on the beach. If God were just some bored figurehead up in heaven, looking for something to do, he could have made the world grey and bland. He could have made it flat and dry. Instead, God wanted to show us his power and love. He made white sandy beaches and green mountians and blue, blue oceans. He have us friends to enjoy these with and time to cherish his creation! God is so amazing!
