Last night Dad and I headed out after supper to hunt for Costa Rican land crabs. It was a beautiful Costa Rica evening with hundreds of fire flies hovering over the meadow across the road from our jungle home. Flashlights in hand we scoured the dirt roads until we found our critter of the day. Only about four inches across she is know for her determination. Although she is a land crab she will head in a straight line through just about anything to bring her eggs to the beach. Today I mustered a little of this determination myself as your father and I went zip lining. Video will follow in the morning, but don't be disappointed that there is no screaming--I loved it. Prior to going I had a reoccurring dream that the instructor would take one look at me and say, "can someone get the heavy rope?" Well, that didn't happen. Pedro, who I'm pretty sure was assigned to babysit me, was charming and patient. We did nine lines and I learned something about zip lining--it's not the "zipping" that kills you--it's the stairs. My biggest near-death was on the last line. Somehow my speed got all out of control, my hand came off the line, I started spinning--Oh! Oh! Do you know what I did? I let the instructor waiting for me at the other end reel the brake out because he knew how to handle the situation--he understood the big picture. God lesson? Yup--it was for me. Hide me now Under your wings Cover me Within your mighty hands When the ocean rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm Father you are King over the flood I will be still and know you are God Find rest my soul In Christ alone Know His power In quietness and trust When the ocean rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm Father you are King over the flood I will be still and know you are God You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.
