Been really busy these last few days, so this last post is coming much later than it should have. However, I'm grateful for the opportunity to share in this way. It helps to remember, not just how amazing this trip was, but the valuable life lessons I have learnt. We serve a God who constantly reaches out to us in love, and the greatest way we show our appreciation, is to reach out to one another with the same love.

May you be inspired to REACH UP....REACH IN....REACH OUT....
