Expecting a Surprise
i started reading nouwen with my friends & fellow travellers:"Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let’s not be afraid to receive each day’s surprise, whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy. It will open a new place in our heats, a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humanity."

i like your picture. art
Your cousin had a beautiful wedding! I can't believe the location... it's gorgeous!! I love your pictures, my favourite is the one of the spices in the market. The colours are really eye-catching in that one.
Hope you're doing well!
love nouwen and his little nuggets of wisdom. i really liked that one entry, too, about expecting a surprise. i also bought bread for the journey! may you have a wonderful journey in europe and you're in our prayers.
Hey Josh,
I like your pics and I also like the quote from Nouwen! ^^
Oh...Inho gave us a book by Nouwen so we all get to read it before we go on the Mexico missions trip. I'd never read any of his books before...but they are great. ^^ We're reading The Return of The Prodigal Son.
Anyways..take care and have fun in Europe!
