We finally made it.

After what seemed like spending an eternity at SeaTac, we finally were able to catch a plane to Dallas at around 4 pm yesterday (the time when we were supposed to be arriving in Mexico City). We arrived in Dallas around 7:30 our time, 9:30 Dallas/Mexico City time. We caught our flight into Mexico City at 10:15 Mexico City time and finally made it to here at 1:30AM. Needless to say it was a long, long day.
Our hotel is very, very nice. The internet works! Hallelujah! We are right in the middle of downtown Mexico City which is different than I expected. The lights coming into the city when the plane was landing were gorgeous they looked like pieces of gold and silver, strewn across the hills. It made me wonder about the huge size of this great city and my relative insignificance. I began to wonder if my tiny drop will really make any sort of a difference, then again with God all things are possible.

Well the other side of the world
Is not so far away as I thought that it was
As I thought that it was so far away
But the other side of the world
Is not so far away
And the distance just dissolves into the love
Into the love

And the New Jerusalem won't be as easy to build
As I hoped it would be
As I hoped it would be easy to build
But the New Jerusalem won't be so easy to build
There's many bellies to fill and many hearts to free
Got to set them free

But I see a people who've learned to walk in faith
With mercy in their hearts
And glory on their faces
And I can see the people
And I pray it won't be long
Until Your kingdom comes

And I know that the gates of hell
Are not prone to prevail
As I thought that they were
As I once thought they were prone to prevail
But I know that the gates of Hell
They have been destined to fail
I see Satan impaled on the sword of the Word
On the sword of the Word

And I see the people who have learned to walk in faith
With mercy in their hearts
And glory on their faces
And I can see the people
And I pray it won't be long
Until Your kingdom comes

And I can see the people who have learned to walk in faith
With mercy in their hearts
And glory on their faces
And I can see the people
And I pray it won't be long
Until Your kingdom comes
The other side of the world
