Back Home from Costa Rica

Thank you so much for your prayers for me! I had one of the BEST times of my life in Costa Rica. The spa was absolutely a wonderful place to relax, learn about my passion which is massage, meditate on God's word, & listen to God. I also met alot of loving and caring people. I ended up staying in a tentalow by myself because the girl that was going to be my roomate decided she wanted to upgrade to a better room. It was great for me. I enjoyed the quiet time each evening with the Lord.
On the morning of the last day I read the last chapter of the book of
Romans. I had started reading the book of Romans on the first day. Chapter 12 really spoke to me...
I ended up reading it to a woman I had quickly become friends with. I was led to share it with her because it was obvious from our conversation that it was suppose to be talked about. It was such a God thing.
As we walked to breakfast together, there was Jaqueline and her husband Greg.Romans 12 was written on Greg's T-shirt, & then later that day as we discussed it, we each in turn had a revelation revealed from the Lord to each us(like a lightbulb
turning on simultaniously)It was a powerful moment and so beautiful.
Along with the 40 hrs. of medical massage, we had plenty of time for excursions, relaxtion, massage, & jacuzzi. The food was the healthiest food I've ever had and ALL fresh! The coffee was the best! We went to the Waterfall Gardens, visited the Poas Volcano, & we did the Jungle Canopy Zip Line.
Costa Rica was breath-takingly beautiful, lush, & green, the people warm & friendly, the learning so awesome!
It's looking more like a possibility that we could call it "home"
thanks again for your prayers, I was overwhelmed & still am! I'm grateful to God for giving me this opportunity. I learned more than massage.

So glad you made it home, safely... was praying for you, daily... and glad, too, that you loved Costa Rica! I can't wait to hear all about it and see pics!

Give me a call on my cell, when you have time, so we can meet and share all about it! :-)

Hey, did you have rain there, every day, all the time? I watched the weather report, there, daily, and it was thundering showeres it said, every day. I wonder how that was?

We are missionaries with The Brook Ministries in Costa Rica. We are here to help strengthen the church body of Jesus Christ & to fulfill His Great commission to the lost. At our conferences, my husband directs the recreational activities & excursions. I provide physical renewal with massage for the female attendees. We believe that regularly scheduled renewal of the body, mind, & spirit for ministry leaders in particular, will empower them to serve the Lord with renewed strength & perseverance to do what God has uniquely called them to do....SERVE & BUILD HIS CHURCH to the outermost parts of the world!
