wireless

currently blogging to you from the cement block next to my house in nueva suyapa...

we just discovered we get a wireless signal (or at least the area in front of our house) from the high school up the hill from us, one of the few places that has internet in nueva suyapa.

it is almost 8 o'clock at night as i look through the darkness to our closest neighbors down the hill. i wonder what they think as they see the computer glow light up my face as i crouch down in the front yard with my laptop. the only thing i can see of them right now is the glow of the fire pit because, ironically, they don't have any electricity at all... wireless also, i suppose

just when you need it

Yesterday, these two full rainbows appeared over Nueva Suyapa. It is amazing to think that this is actually God reminding us of His covenant with us and his faithfulness in keeping that promise. He is good to encourage us along the way! This image also calls my attention because it pulls together the presence of God and the reality of our broken world. God is faithful and present even in the places and times when the coming of His Kingdom seems the least likely of the most challenging. I hope you are encouraged today to seek God and remember his faithfulness in the difficult places in your life and the world around you.

God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Genesis 9:12-15
