Today's Realizations

Just today I was thinking about how I cross the great Pan American Highway every time I walk to my little favorite grocery story (of course I had to facebook status it too ;) ) Anyway, pondering how big that highway is literally as a road but also how it must have so changed the scope of things here in Peru. How big it must have been in the movement of connecting people and merchandise; making it feasible to travel and see the world outside of where a person grew up. How that highway must have completely changed things here in little Pacasmayo too. Then I started thinking about my little store that I go to and how it is almost nothing compared to ALL the many little stores we have here and how that huge highway and that little store are right next to each other, the irony, greatness and smallness connected. Reminds me of God's plan, like the great highway...it's life changing and huge and we have no idea exactly what is all going on but we know it's BIG and we want to be connected with that...and our lives and what we do is so small, nothingness, we are just dust, but we can be CONNECTED to Him through Jesus. We can be part of His great things like the little store along the Pan American.
