My daily routine is 5am get up and spend my most wonderful part of the day, my quiet time with my Father (I love this time- no kids, no light, just me and my Lord) every other day at 6, I go for a run on the grass landing strip by my house with a most awesome return view of the Volcano "Sangay" and when It's really a good day, I get to see it smoke! Return to fix breakfast for my loves then get everyone ready for school. Off to school with Drew and Will. Return from school and make lunch, again for my loves. Then head out to the girls home "Hope House" to spend my afternoon with them. Everyday we have a different activity. On some days we work together in our garden, I love this! Today we started a preparing our most fertile grounds for a flower garden in the most perfect spot with a beautiful palm tree in the middle. Because of where we live, we are able to obtain some most incredible flowers and plants. The jungle is so fertile and enriched with the most beautiful colors and textures of plants. There is no wonder some call it paradise!
I love working the garden, in our garden we have everything from corn, papaya, avocado, peanut, lemon, herbs, cacao, yucca, onion and so on and so on...
I love everything about gardening but most of all I love knowing that what we plant, we get to harvest and when the time comes to harvest, we get to indulge in the fruits of our work!
I feel the same way about the work we do in Ecuador, it's very much like our garden, years ago, we planted some seeds with a few Shuar brothers and sisters and looking around us there are over 50 christian works throughout the jungles of Ecuador that sprouted from a few good seeds. We are truly indulging in His Harvest and cannot wait until the day comes that we get to stand side by side in a better place and enjoy the ultimate harvest with our Lord!

I Very much enjoyed this particular blog. Even though we have been to Sucua, it still helps to get such a descriptive window into the place we will soon call home. I know Alicia would love to follow you on here. She has a blogging site on here as well. Blessings!
