...until tomorrow.
Well, we've just finished our upper echlon leader training, my stomach is full, and my backside is sore. What can I say, good teaching is exhausting! The teaching truly has been incredible, but sitting and listening all day long fully evinces the well known fact that I can't sit still for more than 2.5 seconds. And that's no fun if you have to sit next to me. Tomorrow's a big day! Not only do we get to get up nice and early to travel to Dallas, we get to meet our MOMs and POPs, the student leadership underneath Dutter and I. Very exciting to see who God has brought to help lead our teams.
Is it legal to write a Response to Comments in a post? :
- Mr. Rod and Mrs. Kathy: I thank you for your prayers. Only you know exactly what I'm dealing with here. And can I say I'm glad to be dealing with it? She keeps it interesting. (And Kitkat[is it ok if I call you that?], we knOw she's jealous...)
-Mom, you're crazy.
-Marti, you're already one of my favorite people. Seriously.
So now I think I'll discourse on the title of this blog as I realize that hasn't been done yet and I'm going to have to be the one to explain it...
The reason we went with "Peruvian" is kind of difficult to understand unless you really look into the deeper, abstract ideas that this trip represents - we're going to Peru.
"Eisegesis": the introduction by an interpreter of his own ideas into a text under explication. It is the opposite of exegesis. So that's what our goal is - to take what we see and do in Peru and feed it back to you along with our ideas of how this changes lives. And maybe, just maybe, God will use our thoughts and words for His glory, because that is the ultimate goal - to be broken to the point that we allow God to interpret everything we see, infusing His own thoughts, not our natural, imperfect ones, so that we may grow closer to the heart of God and give continually more glory to the Father.
Much love to you all. And thank you for your prayers.
It's OV!...

Hughey, Thanks for your response. We are so excited you are glad to deal with you know who! She really is a fanstastic young lady who loves the Lord but don't let her know how proud we are of her.... We are praying for you guys and are excited to hear how the Lord is working. Kit Kat
Hughey (is it legal to respond to--oh, never mind): you won my heart not with your partnership aka friendship with Kristin, not with your exquisite exegesis of eisegesis, but with your brilliantly correct rendering of "MOMs" and "POPs." I stand in awe. Truly.
I know you're not posting because you're training hard. And I know you're training hard because of the work He has ahead. And you know we're all making light because we miss you lots (even when we've never met) and look forward to the great, marvelous, amazing days ahead. Even the one that starts SOON!
"LORD, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; let not man prevail against You. (2 Chronicles 14:11)
