This photo was taken during our trip to Panama earlier this year. I like how calm and peaceful the river appears. That all changed shortly after I took this photo as many of the students on the trip entered the river to swim, skip stones and generally splash around.

Sometimes in our daily lives, we experience a calm and know that it is about to change in a big way. It is important to be present in these quiet moments and know that God is there and will still be there when life gets crazy.
