Back in 2008 shortly before we went back to the US I did a solo trip. My intention was to upload these videos as segments on my channel. Showing them to friends back home universally they all said, "We had no idea you were so beat up!" There had been many, serious, things happening in my life at this time. I hadn't realized how much stress I had been under or the effect it was having on me. I have been reluctant to upload these videos because they don't show my usual upbeat self.
Nothing hits the reset button like solitude in the wilderness. It was on this trip that I remembered what it felt like to feel normal. It was a long time after this that, that feeling became the default setting of my life.
Now that we are back in Brazil and a great many of the problems I had been facing are resolved these videos no longer represent the last of our days here. We are back in the place we consider home doing what we love with the people we are called to serve and I can't tell you how huge that is for us. Depression is a tunnel, not a mine, you can come out the other end into the light of day.
Over the next few weeks I'll upload the rest of the videos as I get them re-edited.
