Sunflowers and grapes.

Nicaragua: Wednesday afternoon the women on our team went to hang out with some prostitutes.  Before we left, our team spent some time in prayer.  During that time, Drew Miller said he had a vision of a field of yellow sunflowers and above them were a bunch of grapes.

We didn't dwell on that too much, but figured the grapes meant fruit from our labors - in some capacity.   We headed to the church where a few of our gals shared their testimonies and then we spent time praying over the ladies and children there.  I couldn't help but wonder about their lives and how vastly different we are...yet so similar.  In some ways, we all whore ourselves out for things in order to get ahead/survive.  We all have fallen for the deception of false intimacy.  And, for each of us, there is only one way to redemption and full life: Jesus.  It was a sweet time that ended with handing out bags of groceries to each lady.

But here's the thing.  At some point, Edy looked up and saw a plastic bunch of red grapes hanging from the ceiling of the church -- all the walls were painted yellow.  She showed me and busted out laughing.  I have absolutely no idea why they had grapes hanging from the ceiling!  But, I do know that the Lord was in our midst.  It was such a fun reminder.
