“In Mexico your wishes have a dream power.” -William S. Burroughs
And so we spent 3 windswept days in Mexico with our closest friends, our life group. It was a retreat of sorts, a time to rest and just "be" together. A rare lapse of time, away from the busyness of life, to talk and laugh and play games, and eat with one another. And dream. Saturday night we gave everyone five minutes to share their dreams for the future. Can I just say how refreshing it was? Dreams are a part of our souls. God gives us dreams for the future, and He is the one who breathes life into them. There was a completeness to people after they shared their dreams, as if we were given a window into their soul to know them more. For some it was leaning deeper into their artistic talent, for others it was adoption and foster care, and for yet other it was living in community whether in the US or abroad. Some of our dreams overlapped, and that connection point meant something. For one of our dear friends, Erika, it is a dream of using art as an expression to bring peace in the middle east {you can read more about her endeavors here}.
The sum of its parts is that we are a group who God has lit individual and communal visions in our hearts. And a synergy pumped heavy as we prayed into those dreams.
I'll share more of Kevin and my dream later this week, but for now, enjoy the colorful pictures of Mexico. It's only a few hours from our house, but it is another world.
Many happy thoughts towards you today friends:) Happy Monday!
Can't go to Mexico without stopping at a taco stand! yum yum:)
I stuck to a more traditional taco!
