YASC Lenten Reflections

Wow two post in one day!!! I am writing to let you know that our YASC group decided to write our own Lenten reflections. It already has a post of pictures of Ash Wednesday from around the globe and also has a post from Heidi Galagan (in Tanzania).

94th Convention

I'm sure I sound like a broken record, but I am sorry for not having a post every month. I am not the type person who can capture everything in words, but I try my best. Febuary 20th - 23rd marked the 94th convention for the Iglesia Episcopal de Panamá. The theme was "Dios de Vida enséñame tu palabra y afirma mis pasos" or "God of life, teach me your word and affirm my steps." This theme was taken from psalm 119:133, which has a special meaning to me. From the start of this mission, I really felt that I was on a spiritual journey that was going to find a better path, a new path, of knowing where I was going. It has been at least 6 months and I am still where God is teaching me his words and affirming my steps. I feel the more that I am in Panama, the louder of a calling I hear from God. The fact that my faith has grown these past six months is remarkable. I can't imagine what my next calling from God is, and I can't wait to find out. Here are some pictures of the 94th convention.

A big shout out to a friend, Victor. He is the one who provided all the photos and is the Communication Director for the Episcopal Church of Panamá.
