Just How Great He Really Is by Brandon (a pilgrim)
Today God blessed us with the opportunity to immerse ourselves further within the culture of Belize and its people. We visited the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich and explored the temples and plazas with a Mayan descendant as our guide. As we climbed to the top of the 134 ft high temple, my only thoughts were keeping my teammates from falling. But when I reached the top and looked out over God’s wondrous creation and felt the much-needed breeze on my face, I realized just how great He really is. The rolling hills, the dense forests, ad the high mountains…who could have created this but God?
Along with the Maya, we visited the Mennonite community at Spanish Lookout. The Mennonites moved here hoping to find an easier way to live their simple lifestyle. We walked into the first air-conditioned room since we arrived in Belize, and got some delicious ice cream. When we rode the bus back to our home base, the interactions between all of us showed how close and how comfortable e have all become around one another. God really blessed us in innumerable ways today.
