Circles Never End

While I was in Mexico, there was a girl sitting my the side of the empty pool. After a few years of training myself and being coached by others to seek out the lonely, God had changed my heart and mind... So I walked right up to her and said Hola. It was scary to start up a conversation with someone who I knew probably wouldn't speak any English, and I probably couldn't understand with only 3 years of high school spanish. None the less, I talked to her, and I'll never regret it. Her name is Julieta and is 17 years old. I could only understand about half of what she said, but I caught a glimpse of her soul. She seemed to me a flower that is too scared to open. She is beautiful, but almost painfully shy... until you start to talk to her. She is mostly scared of boys I think. When we started talking about another guy on the trip, Drew, I called him over to us and she hid her face and giggled. It was the sweetest thing. She isn't outgoing, but her smile tells you she has a lot of love to share. 

In the blue bracelet video from Invisible Children, Amy bonds with a beautiful and resilient girl, Roseline. As Amy is leaving, she gives Roseline one of her rings, so I did the same. I had her aunt translate for me, "You are Jesus's princess". She replied you too. She told me not to cry because it would make her cry- so I held it in... until I turned to walk away. The flood gates opened and I sobbed for about 10 minutes. She was the culmination of God's beauty. He created such a deep loving relationship between two girls who could barely understand each other.
