bahama mama

ingrid and i made it to the bahamas safely...spent a rainy day inside...and got up at 6 am this morning..

eleuthera is definitely not the tourist paradise many would assume the bahamas to be, but that's okay. it reminds me of being in the philippines when its raining..you know when those freak storms just blow through and you can't do anything but wait it out? same thing here...

i was afraid coming to the bahamas during holy week would be a smack in the face to the upbringing that taught me to be quiet and solemn during this week...to sit and reflect...hold back the laughter...just chill. but, im thankful i have an opportunity to be in an environment that compels you to praise God for the beauty of creation. deep right? but it's true, today we were taken to a point on the island where the atlantic meets the carribean. to see the five types of blue in the ocean...the pure white mass of the waters crashing together...a huge rainbow right behind us. it was a beautiful sight.

i'm off to work on putting down tiles in a kitchen. i hope your holy week has been just as meaningful.
