But we did make it to Romania! It was really tough leaving Africa, and I was struggling when we got here. But this place is absolutely incredible! Just when you think that you can’t go any place that is more beautiful, you get to the next place and it is! The quaint town we are staying in is a long strip of houses on a main road that runs through the rolling hills of a lush, warm area in Romania. As you walk to winding dirt path through the hills, you find several lakes in a row. In the evenings, running up the hills to see the sun setting behind the lakes with brilliant pinks, oranges, yellows, purples and blues escapes over the horizon and beams up hitting the incredible cloud cover. I am such a sucker for clouds-and sun sets! They take my breath away every time, and we have experienced incredible ones with each new place we see.
I don’t have much to report yet. We have only been at our location for 2 days now (this is our third day). Our entire squad is in the same village working with the same contact-that’s 52 of us here, not to mention there are a few squads that came out on the field after we did and are here as well. God is working big in my life, as he always is, and is continuing to use me and grow me in intercession. It is amazing how much more I have been able to pray and intercede for people sense I have no longer been team leader! I am loving it! He is working on some fears I have that I didn’t realize were there and the more he shows me, the closer I become to being freed of those things! Awesome! God continues to ask me to do things that are uncomfortable and to trust people and just speak that things I feel and the things that are on my heart. Even though I don’t always want to, I am finding that it isn’t as hard as I have always made it out to be.
Specific Prayer:
There is a huge spirit of hurt and legalism here. Please pray for us to be able to bring truth and light to so many lies that are here, even if it is to a few individuals.
Romania has one of the highest abortion rates in the world, please pray for my heart in that and that the people would be willing to hear truth in that. Many of you know that abortion is something that is very heavy on my heart, especially after my last year working at the pregnancy center (miss you all a lot! Hope things for the banquet are coming together or came together well!!!)
My team is doing well this month and is pushing hard to increase our little family and really pour into each other. Please pray for us as we take new steps in that and more toward a deeper bond.
**Mom…God still has me on this discipline kick! Sorry I can’t write to you. I hope the blogs help you out! J I still don’t know anything about flying home yet….sorry! I will let you know as soon as I know something!!!! Love you
