A Day In The Life Of Projects

Projects seem to be a way of life here on the farm in Costa Rica.  Of course, we are unable to keep up with everything on our own, and are always grateful when others have time or the energy to pitch in and help us with whatever the Lord has put in front of us for that season…day…hour…minute!  We have been blessed with many young people in our lives who have become in some ways like part of our family! Some are in our neighborhood, some we have gotten to know in town as we run errands at the meat market, féria (farmer’s market), hardware store and others who have come to our English classes.

Working side by side with young people who have a heart to help and a heart to serve is such a pleasure, as well as a privilege.  The joy that comes from hard work, dirty hands, and sharing the Lord, who He is, and what He’s done with others makes even the hardest of labor an amazing adventure.  Everything from planting and harvesting yuca and plantains to building a greenhouse with its complimentary garden boxes/beds and tilapia pool has been so rewarding while spending time with young people who have more energy than we do!

It’s so exciting to be able to pour into the lives of others while you build into the opportunities that God provides.  We always enjoy where we are at and whatever we are doing while maintaining an atmosphere of adventure and hope to how each opportunity will grow into the purpose God has designed for it!
